SCREAMING DROID FILM FESTIVAL

One Night Only, Jan 31st – Aberaeron, Wales

A rare film festival in Wales—built for people who want more from cinema. For audiences, it’s a single night of unrepeatable experiences. For filmmakers, it’s a stage where meaningful, lasting work is celebrated.

Your Ticket Includes:

• Award-winning short films from around the world—most you won’t find anywhere else. Every one is chosen because it says something important, leaves you wanting to talk about it, and lingers long after the lights come up.

• The Experimental Screening—a completely unique concept each year. We take a famous, well-known movie and find a new way to watch it—something no one has ever done before. Past examples: Blade Runner played forwards and backwards at the same time; Star Wars: Episode III in black and white with Japanese audio, like a Kurosawa film. The title and method are always kept secret until the night. This year’s will surprise you.

• Access to all talks and presentations with filmmakers and guests.

The Festival Bar
Between screenings, step into a bar stocked with an impressive selection of locally brewed spirits and beers, plus great basket meals for anyone who’s hungry. It’s the perfect place to debate what you’ve just seen, swap theories, or argue about which short should have won.

Why Attend?
Because no other night in Wales offers this combination of rare global shorts, a one-off experimental feature experience, and the kind of audience who shows up ready to think, question, and talk.

Why Submit Your Film?
If your film offers a fresh perspective, challenges convention, or simply says something that matters, it belongs here. We keep submission costs low, welcome all genres, and value the message above the budget. Shorts under 20 minutes only—for now. Special low-cost category for analogue films shot on real stock.
