I have arrived. From car to Airbnb to festival reception. It is busy! My brain is busy. There’s so much to take in. Aberystwyth University campus is a brutalist gothic dream. Can you have brutalist gothic? Yes. Yes, you can. #abertoir2025

The week ahead. Unusual. Thrilling. Hopefully there'll be time for food. And sleep. (I'm kidding, pacing is key.) @abertoirfest.bsky.social

Programme highlight: Reflection in a Dead Diamond
We’ve shown almost all of Cattet & Forzani’s films and their latest may just be their most accessible – yet still wildly stylish and niche – film to date!
This homage to Eurospy films may be horror-adjacent but we absolutely couldn’t resist!

We each have our own work to do, and it might not make sense to anyone else, people might even think we're crazy, but it's our work. You might want to do something else, anything else, but the work doesn’t care, it stays until it’s done and then you can move on to the next work, and the next.

Let's start this Friday with an unlikely Guardian article on the criminally underrated (and personal heroine) Aimee Mann's best twenty songs ranked (which I of course disagree with).

I went to the Oceanário de Lisboa, and I spent a long time staring at the sea creatures in a trance. It was a relief from the sights and sounds. Back at Manchester Airport I bought a sandwich and felt guilty for speaking English at the counter. Travel changes you.

Bought a book in the oldest bookshop in the world. They give your book a stamp. Lucio’s Confession, by Mário de Sá-Carneiro. Translated by Margaret Jill Costa. ‘A ménage à trois that ends in a killing. It’s filled with poets and artists and those special problems that sensitive people have.’ Hm!
