To celebrate half a century of horror films in the Welsh language, Storiel is pleased to collaborate with Pontio, Abertoir Film Festival, and Matchbox Cine to present Eryri Arswydus, a celebration of horror films created by the Welsh Film Board and directed by Wil Aaron.
To start the celebrations at 2 pm at Storiel , there will be a discussion with Wil and Carys Aron as they reminisce about creating and directing 1975’s Gwaed ar y Sêr (Blood on the Stars), Nia Edwards Behi from the National Library, co-founder of the Abertoir film festival, will chair this talk and provide context to the world of horror films in the mid ’70s and the significance of Gwaed ar y Sêr to Welsh culture. There will also be an opportunity to discuss the 1981 film O’r Ddeuar Hen (From the Old Earth), which was partially filmed at Bangor University.
Live translation will be available at this event.
Following the discussion, everyone is welcome to join at Storiel to watch Gwaed ar y Sêr with an alternative soundtrack created by producer Don Leisure.
To conclude the celebration, there will be a chance to watch O’r Ddeuar Hen.
