ATIFF International Short Film Festival. October 18 – 20, 2024. Showing films [10 seconds to 20 minutes running time] in a theatre auditorium hosting live audiences.

Following the success of our inaugural event last year, the Attic Theatre International Film Festival 2024 will be held across the weekend of October 18 – 20. Organised by the Attic Theatre, a group of actors, filmmakers and technicians who are captivated by the medium of film.

Our aim is to encourage excellence in film-making and to present the medium of movies to our audiences through a free weekend-long event. We invite submissions from around the world.

Newcastle Emlyn serves a wide area across three counties in South West Wales – Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.

We guarantee a live audience with our eighty-seat auditorium in a grade-2-listed historic building in the centre of town with a full-size screen. The event is free to the public.

The official selection for the festival will consist of approximately 40 short films in competition. Screenings will be divided into sessions of 4 to 6 short films. Although award categories have been established, there will be no separation of genre into specific screening sessions.

Awards categories are:
