15+Join Cardiff Animation Festival and Abertoir Horror Festival for an engaging and interactive look at the history of using animation in horror, with a screening of classic animated shorts.
Animation has been the playground of mad gods and monsters from the very earliest days of cinema to the present, providing pioneering filmmakers, puppeteers, technicians and artists the means of creating fantastical worlds that inspire both wonder and horror.
In this illustrated lecture, Professor Stacey Abbott will examine animation as special effect, considering how it has helped shape the horror genre by looking at the work of groundbreaking artists, including Wladyslaw Starewicz and Segundo de Chomón to Ray Harryhausen, Phil Tippett and Randall William Cook. Their work, among others, highlights the inherent synergies that bind horror and animation together, to visualise the spectacle of the supernatural alongside the materiality of the monstrous, yielding a history of magical and monstrous creations.
The lecture will stitch together pioneering examples of early animation and classic examples of horror special effects, from the spectral effects of the early 20th Century to the monster-craze of the 1950s and 60s and through to body horror of the 1980s, demonstrating how animation provided a visual language for the monstrous and a means of rendering the seemingly impossible possible.

Ymunwch â Gŵyl Animeiddio Caerdydd a Gŵyl Arswyd Abertoir i gael golwg diddorol a rhyngweithiol ar hanes defnyddio animeiddio ym maes arswyd, gyda dangosiad o ffilmiau byrion animeiddiedig clasurol.
Mae animeiddio wedi bod yn faes chwarae i dduwiau gwallgo a bwystfilod o ddyddiau cynhara’r sinema hyd heddiw, gan gynnig modd i wneuthurwyr ffilm, pypedwyr, technegwyr ac artistiaid arloesol greu bydoedd rhyfeddol sy’n ysbrydoli rhyfeddod ac arswyd.
Yn y ddarlith ddarluniadol yma, bydd yr Athro Stacey Abbott yn archwilio animeiddio fel effaith arbennig, gan ystyried sut mae wedi helpu i siapio’r genre arswyd drwy edrych ar waith artistiaid arloesol fel Wladyslaw Starewicz a Segundo de Chomón i Ray Harryhausen, Phil Tippett a Randall William Cook. Mae eu gwaith nhw, ymhlith eraill, yn amlygu’r synergeddau cynhenid sy’n uno arswyd ac animeiddio, i ddelweddu mor drawiadol yw’r goruwchnaturiol ochr yn ochr â materoldeb yr angenfilaidd, gan greu hanes o greadigaethau hudol a bwystfilaidd.
Bydd y ddarlith yn pwytho ynghyd enghreifftiau arloesol o animeiddio cynnar ac enghreifftiau clasurol o effeithiau arbennig arswyd, o effeithiau sbectrol ddechrau’r ugeinfed ganrif i fwystfilod y 1950au a’r 60au, hyd at arswyd corff y 1980au, gan ddangos sut roedd animeiddio yn cynnig iaith weledol ar gyfer yr angenfilaidd a ffordd o droi’r amhosib yn bosib.
Llond y lle o hwyl i ffans arswyd ac animeiddio fel ei gilydd!
Loads of fun for fans of horror and animation alike!
