Great to start the day by finding out that Peter Strickland (director of Berberian Sound Studio and The Duke of Burgundy) has been showing some love for DISCOMANIA:

"A deliriously dizzy blend of memoir and the wider cultural craziness of the ‘70s - bathhouses, giallo, disco and punk. All that and a Mark Moore introduction calling Alan Jones out on his woeful customer service skills at Forbidden Planet"

The super shiny signed Special Edition is still available…

Stellar line-up at Abertoir this year. FAB Press will be there. Come and say hello. And if you can only put aside one day we’d strongly suggest the Friday, which will be crowned with an epic Simon Boswell stage production, full live band, projections, light show and all.

There’s just ONE WEEK TO GO ‘til Abertoir 2025! Time for a roll-call – who’s joining us for 5 days? Or perhaps 1 or 2? Or a handful of films? Let us know below!

In a week’s time we’ll be kicking things off with an opening reception at 4pm before opening with The Bride of Frankenstein in all her glory.

In town early? Abertoir passholders can get 50% off tickets to see Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein at the Arts Centre on Monday 10th or Tuesday 11th – offer available at the box office only!

We’re really looking forward to seeing you all again and meeting some of you for the very first time. Not long now!
