MWLDAN 2

The Theatr Mwldan Film Festival celebrates its 15th anniversary in January 2009. Spread over two terrific weeks, the Festival is filled with 19 of the very best recent releases the world has to offer. If you have a passion for the big screen, now’s the time to indulge! There’s epic romance in Baz Luhrmann’s Australia, goofball comedy with a twist in the Coen brothers’ Burn After Reading, plus British comedy A Bunch of Amateurs which boasts a stunning cast of veteran actors.

Peter O'Toole excels in the eccentric comedy drama Dean Spanley, and there’s a strong international flavour, including Welsh Director Marc Evans’ Amnesty International-endorsed documentary In Prison My Whole Life.

Live events over the coming months include numerous Mwldan Co-productions.We welcome back: the full-blooded sound of Bellowhead; Catrin Finch & Cimarron, a stunning collaboration

between the iconic Welsh harpist and the virtuosic Colombian band; and Mappa Mundi, who stage the classic comedy of errors She Stoops to Conquer, directed by Peter Doran of the Torch Theatre.

We’re also really excited to be co-producing a 9-date tour of Wales in June by Billy Bragg, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Miners’ Strike.

Wed 18 Mer

There’s a packed programme of community shows, and a truly massive line-up of all the latest cinema releases. Oriel Mwldan’s programme continues as well with two exhibitions from Wales by Holly Davey and Osi Rhys Osmond.

THE POOZIES Original, traditional, moving and uplifting, this inspirational female folk super group are as fresh as ever.

Passionate singing, percussive rock solid guitar, faultless fiddle, shimmering harp and delicately dextrous accordion intertwine, all grounded by the growling groove of a capacious Camac electro harp. Five voices blend in spine-tingling, heart-wrenching harmony, on a journey through a sometimes fantastical landscape.

Saturated by the spice of open-mindedness with which they explore the musical universe, The Poozies draw not only from the rich vein of traditional Scottish Gaelic culture, but also from any enticing genre.

Between them they have played with a huge collection of bands and artists including The Unusual Suspects, Karen Tweed and Karine Polwart. They have also all guested on many other artists’ recordings including Dick Gaughan,

Lal and Norma Waterson, June Tabor and Eliza Carthy.

Former Poozies bandmate Kate Rusby has since risen to solo stardom via the Mercury Awards, and this is a wonderful opportunity to catch her former bandmates, who remain as sought after in their own right as ever.

Yn wreiddiol, yn draddodiadol, yn drawiadol ac yn ddyrchafol, mae’r Poozies yn fand o ferched bydd yn eich tywys ar siwrnai gyda’u setiau offerynnol a’u lleisiau pêr.

Yn chwarae’r ffidil, y delyn, yr acordion a’r delyn drydanol, gyda harmonïau lleisiol sy’n tynnu ar draddodiad Gaeleg yr Alban, ymhlith arddulliau eraill, bydd dawn a phrofiad eang y grwˆ p yn siwˆ r o’ch swyno.

BELLOWHEAD CYD-GYNHYRCHIAD THEATR MWLDAN / MONEYPENNY CO-PRODUCTION

“Wild, joyous, perverse, bold, crazed, fullblooded, intricate, fearless, funny, epic and mostly BIG… Bellowhead don’t disappoint.

Prepare to be amazed.” fRoots The rousing, sharp-suited Bellowhead were first unleashed onto an unsuspecting audience at the Oxford Festival in April 2004, brought together by the award-winning duo Spiers and Boden.

Their plan was to gather a talented collective of disparate musicians into a group capable of playing many styles, idioms and textures from around the world from big band through soul, jazz and funk, to classical strings - yet retaining, at its heart, an exquisite sensitivity to the essence of English traditional music.

With a variety of more eccentric influences including brass, strings, disco music, sea shanties and Tom Waits, Bellowhead take outrageous but enthralling liberties with some of folk’s hardy veterans.

Bellowhead’s second album Matachin was released in Autumn 2008, a much-praised followup to their extraordinary, groundbreaking album Burlesque (2006) which garnered awards and plaudits everywhere. Heralded as one of the most important folk recordings ever made,

PLUCK THE TITANIC SHOW Hallelujah! Pluck is back! Music and mayhem combine as the world’s silliest string trio pays hilarious tribute to the musicians who famously played on to the end. Nobody knows what filled the days of those brave few before tragedy struck...

So Pluck have made it up.

Sensitive lead violinist Wally and brutally sincere multi-instrumentalist W’Theodore are joined aboard the fated vessel by stowaway Roger, a strangely small yet enthusiastic young man. As they entertain the guests on board, tensions build as Wally and W’Theodore begin to suspect that Roger is not quite the man he claims to be...

Privileged to be given second class passenger status, the three musicians take full advantage of the treats aboard this floating city. They gamble, paint, relax on deck chairs, and when off duty nibble a potato and dance the night away in steerage. Featuring a real iceberg, one massive porthole, and a very large peanut, all blended with a mélange of great music - and NO Celine Dion!!

Mae Pluck yn ôl! Mae cerddoriaeth ac anrhefn yn cyfuno wrth i driawd llinynnol mwyaf dwl y byd dalu teyrnged i’r cerddorion hynny sy’n enwog am chwarae hyd y diwedd.

Does neb yn gwybod pa bethau oedd yn llanw dyddiau’r dynion dewr cyn i drasiedi codi ei phen....

Felly mae Pluck wedi dychmygu’r cwbl!

DIE FLEDERMAUS We’re delighted to welcome back the very wonderful Opera Della Luna with a brand new production of Die Fledermaus, surely one of the world’s most famous operettas, presented with a glittering new look by the country’s best small-scale operetta company.

Opera della Luna have earned themselves a matchless reputation, touring the country for over ten years with acclaimed productions of Gilbert and Sullivan and Offenbach, and they now turn their hand to the ‘waltz king’ Johann Strauss, and this most sparkling of scores.

Dr Falke was once left to wander home, drunk, and dressed as a bat, by his friend Gabriel von Eisenstein. To exact his revenge he arranges for Eisenstein to attend an extremely risqué party at the home of the outrageous Russian aristocrat, Prince Orlofsky, and there Eisenstein seduces a mysterious Hungarian countess, who is in fact his own wife in disguise.

This entirely new, saucy production is directed - with his own new translation - by Jeff Clarke, and designed by Gabriella Csanyi-Wills, the team that created the company’s recent wonderful production of The Mikado.

An evening not to be missed by all fans of opera and lunacy!

Mae’n bleser gennym groesawu yn ôl yr ardderchog Opera Della Luna gyda chynhyrchiad newydd sbon o Die Fledrmaus, sydd heb os yn un o operâu mwyaf enwog y byd.

CATRIN FINCH & CIMARRON CYD-GYNHYRCHIAD ASTAR | THEATR MWLDAN | GALERI THEATR BRYCHEINIOG CO-PRODUCTION This extraordinary, exciting and high-profile harp-based international music project combines the remarkable talent of Catrin Finch (Cymru/Wales), with vibrant Colombian band Cimarron.

Dyma i chi brosiect cerddorol rhyngwladol rhyfeddol a chyffrous o’r proffil uchaf sy’n troi o gwmpas y delyn, ac sy’n cyfuno dawn anferthol Catrin Finch, sy’n hanu o Gymru, a Cimarron, y band bywiog o Golumbia.

Regarded as one of the world’s leading harp players and HRH The Prince of Wales’ Royal Harpist from 2000 to 2004, Catrin Finch has already enjoyed a phenomenal career, and has considerable classical crossover success through her collaborations with fellow Welsh composer Karl Jenkins. She was recently nominated for a Classical Brit Award.

Mae Catrin Finch yn un o delynoresau blaenaf y byd, a bu am gyfnod yn delynores frenhinol. Cimarron yw’r grwˆ p llanera mwyaf dawnus yng Ngholumbia. Mae’r band 7 aelod, caiff ei arwain gan y telynor a’r cyfansoddwr, Carlos Rojas, wedi perfformio led led y byd yn ystod ei yrfa ugain mlynedd.

Seven piece band Cimarron are the most accomplished llanera group in Colombia, and have performed worldwide during a 20 year career. Led by harpist and composer Carlos Rojas, and drawn from the Mestizo people that inhabit the savannahs of the great Orinoco River, their joropo music is a fiercely virtuosic display of rippling melodies played on harp, bandola and cuatro accompanied by bass, maracas and high-pitched voices reminiscent of Andalusian gypsy roots.

Bu cyfnewid a datblygu tonau a chaneuon o draddodiad a diwylliant y naill a’r llall - mae meistrolaeth llwyr Catrin yn ymdreiddio i rythmau Columbia, tra bod naws Ladinaidd yn cael ei chyflwyno i felodïau traddodiadol Cymreig.

Catrin Finch and Cimarron first met each other in Caernarfon, Wales in November 2007. During an intense four days, they exchanged and developed tunes and songs from each other’s native culture, each being led by the other’s harp tradition.

Traditional Colombian rhythms saw the injection of Catrin’s stunning virtuosity, whilst traditional Welsh melodies became infused with a vibrant Latin identity.

Supported by the Welsh Assembly Government and the Arts Council Of Wales through the Arts Outside Cardiff Scheme.

Roedd taith ddiweddar Catrin a Cimarron ar draws Cymru yn llwyddiant ysgubol, gan werthu pob tocyn, felly cewch ddisgwyl noson wefreiddiol sy’n dathlu hyfrydwch y delyn.

Catrin and Cimarron went on to tour Wales to sell-out audiences, standing ovations and an ecstatic response that enveloped both artists and audiences. Now they return to further develop this stunning collaboration from two extremely rich musical heritages. In a true celebration of the versatility and beauty of the harp, a captivating, unique and uplifting evening is in store!

MOYA BRENNAN THE VOICE OF CLANNAD! Irish icon Moya Brennan captures the essence of her homeland in all its cascading beauty, mystery and contradictions. Moya’s illustrious career spans decades and gently, yet persistently, her songs and her music are redefining Irish music.

Timeless, elemental and carried heavenwards in soulful breath, Moya’s voice reaches out to the farthest places but still touches the soul, refreshes and heals, excites the senses and brings a sense of calm to tired hearts. She sings from the heart to a world where hope, faith and joy are not just a dream.

In her music making, Moya has never been content to nestle within comfortable boundaries. From an early age she trod the boards with her father Leo in the dance halls, then became fixated with the likes of Joni Mitchell and the Beach Boys before going on to share, with her band Clannad, an enlightening discovery of the extraordinary wealth of Celtic history and melody on her doorstep. Clannad sent tremors through the world of traditional music. With Harry’s Game they took the Irish language and its melodies to places that it had never been before - Top Of The Pops, major record contracts and world tours. The accolades followed - Ivor Novello and BAFTA awards plus, after several nominations, a Grammy award in 1999. Their music was fresh, vibrant and progressive.

Through this clamorous journey, from the start of a career that has notched up sales in excess of 15 million, Moya has developed an individuality which has already shown itself in her expanding body of work. The power of her whispered tones and the beauty of her music touch the soul.

Mae gan Moya yrfa hirfaith a llwyddiannus gyda’i band Clannad, wrth iddynt dorri tir newydd i gerddoriaeth Wyddelig.

Arweiniodd at ymddangosiadau ar Top of the Pops, cytundebau recordio a theithio’r byd – a gwerthu dros 15 miliwn o recordiau.

Bu gwobrau niferus hefyd, gan gynnwys Grammy ym 1999.

Roedd eu cerddoriaeth yn ffres, yn fywiog ac yn flaengar.

Yn perfformio ar ei phen ei hun, mae’r eicon Gwyddelig Moya Brennan yn portreadu hanfod ei gwlad yn ei gwaith, ac mae ei llais unigryw yn sisial ganu wrth iddo gyffwrdd â’ch enaid.

And he is – Sill Alive, that is! In a completely new, organically grown show, old Baz recalls, reminisces, recounts and other words beginning with ‘R’, on a trip down Memory Lane, pausing only for tea and macaroons at the Stannah Stairlift Café.

What memories – if only he could remember them.

Jokes, songs, stories and on certain nights, Pole Vaulting, if his friend Vaclev from Warsaw turns up.

Currently 72, a third of his life has already passed and he invites you to join him in a decorous orgy of nostalgia.

This show is proactive! You have the chance to shout out a page number from one of his books and he will relate the story thereon.

Join Baz as he wanders through his life – and yours.

Two hours of chuckle therapy – all patients seen immediately.

Ymunwch â Barry Cryer i hel atgofion a nostalgia yn y sioe newydd a gwreiddiol hon. Dwy awr o ddonioldeb a chwerthin, a chyfle i chi fod yn rhan o’r sioe trwy awgrymu rhif tudalen yn un o’i lyfrau iddo gael ddefnyddio’r hanes ar y dudalen honno yn sail i’w atgofion. Profiad unigryw.

NEANDERTHAL

By Simon Thorne Why did we ever come to make music in the first place? This intriguing question lies behind Simon Thorne’s Neanderthal.

The idea that Neanderthals sang their way through the landscape, and that early humans were also accomplished musicians creates a space that is ripe for conjecture.

Simon Thorne is one of Wales’ leading composers, an inspiring maverick whose work also has a rare, visionary beauty. Over the past year he has been working with the National Museum Cardiff to explore the sound of the world as it might have been for early modern humans. Now he is joined by four extraordinary vocalists, each one a virtuoso master in the styles and techniques of the songs of the world. Together they create a ceremony for the earth as if it were new born to our ears.

Accompanied by haunting video projection, they take us into the cave of our consciousness to illuminate the first spark of communication.

This promises to be a truly extraordinary evening. A search for origins, a journey along the songlines of our ancestral past to a moment where language and song are joined in the same instinctive breath.

Pam wnaethom ddechrau creu cerddoriaeth yn y lle cyntaf?

Dyma’r cwestiwn chwilfrydig sydd wrth wraidd Neanderthal gan Simon Thorne. Mae Simon Thorne yn un o gyfansoddwyr blaenllaw Cymru. Mae ei waith yn amrywiol tu hwnt, ac mae wedi gweithio gyda chwmnïau a phartneriaid niferus yn ystod ei yrfa.

Mae Henry’n gweld ei gyfle ac yn penderfynu dianc am fywyd newydd gyda’i wraig, Jean, i Barcelona. Ond cyn y gall fynd, mae’n rhaid iddo berswadio Jean (sy’n sydyn reit yn penderfynu dechrau yfed), osgoi dau blismon busneslyd, cael gwared ar Vic a Betty ei ffrindiau sydd wedi dod draw i swper, delio gyda Gertie a Willie drws nesa sy’n achwyn am Pwsi, heb sôn am y gyrrwr tacsi nad yw’n siwˆ r ai mynd neu dod mae e! I goroni’r cyfan, daw perchennog y bag (a’r arian) i chwilio amdano fe. Dyma ddrama sy’n llawn cam-ddealltwriaeth a sefyllfaoedd chwerthinllyd sy’n gaethygu wrth i Henry balu celwydd ar ben celwydd i geisio dianc. A fydd Henry’n llwyddo? A fydd Jean yn mynd gyda fe? Pwy yn y byd yw Percy, Adelaide, Genevieve ac Archie - a ydyn nhw’n ‘nudists’ mewn gwirionedd? Beth sy’n digwydd dan y flanced? Pa iaith mae’r dyn ar y ffôn yn siarad... a, o ie, ble yn y byd mae Pwsi?

Described by The Guardian as “the finest instrumental duo on the traditional scene” and twice winners of the BBC Radio 2 folk award for Best Duo, John Spiers and Jon Boden have made the genre of spontaneous, punky English folk very much their own stomping ground.

Loud, proud, and with just a few acoustic instruments, they create a multitude of textures upon which they present traditional stories and dance music which are as much at home on the main stage of Cambridge Folk Festival as they are in a lock-in at the local pub - as well as on the stage at Mwldan, where we welcome them back for their second headlining appearance, if you don’t count their numerous performances here as both Eliza Carthy’s Ratcatchers and frontmen of Bellowhead. Their fifth duo album Vagabond is a return to the live feel of the early albums, with a theme based around the character of the itinerant and outsider in society.

“In just a few years, they have established themselves as the finest instrumental duo on the traditional scene, and the contemporary equivalent of Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick….”

The Guardian Croesawn y deuawd hynod lwyddiannus hwn yn ôl i’r Mwldan unwaith eto. Erbyn hyn maent wedi rhyddhau pum albwm ac wedi ennill Gwobr Werin Radio 2 am y Deuawd Gorau ddwy waith, gan roi eu stamp yn gadarn ar yr arddull gymhelloll a bywiog o gerddoriaeth werin Seisnig.

ORCHESTRA BAOBAB

MWLDAN 2

CYD-GYNHYRCHIAD PONTARDAWE ARTS CENTRE | TALIESIN ARTS CENTRE | THEATR MWLDAN CO-PRODUCTION A very, very special night in the company of the magnificent Orchestra Baobab, one of Africa’s great iconic bands and creators of one of the world’s most sublime and truly distinctive pop sounds.

Founded in 1970, Orchestra Baobab fused Afro-Cuban rhythm and Portuguese Creole melody with Congolese rumba, high life and a whole gamut of local styles - kickstarting a musical renaissance in their native Senegal. Baobab found themselves sidelined by the revolution they helped create and disbanded in 1985, but a huge groundswell of international interest led to their triumphant reformation in 2001. Now winners of 2 BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music in 2003 and with a Grammy nomination Orchestra Baobab embark on their national tour.

Dyma gyfle i dreulio noson arbennig iawn yng nghwmni un o fandiau mwyaf eiconig Affrica. Sefydlwyd y band yn wreiddiol ym 1970, gan fynd ati i asio amrywiaeth o wahanol rhythmau a melodiau a sbarduno adfywiad cerddorol yn eu gwlad frodorol, sef Senegal.

Following the success of Tinariwen at Pontardawe in May 2008, we will be arranging a coach from Mwldan to see Orchestra Baobab.

The coach will leave Theatr Mwldan at 6pm on 2nd April, and return from Pontardawe after the gig (leaving approximately 11.00pm). Tickets are £25 which includes entry and coach travel, tickets will be on a first come first served basis and are strictly non-refundable. Contact the Box Office on 01239 621200 to book.

Yn dilyn llwyddiant Tinariwen ym Mhontardawe ym Mai 2008, byddwn yn trefnu bws o Theatr Mwldan i fynd i weld Orchestra Baobab. Bydd y bws yn gadael Theatr Mwldan am 6yh ar 2 Ebrill, ac yn dychwelyd o Bontardawe ar ôl y gig (yn gadael tua 11.00yh). Mae tocynnau’n £25 ac yn cynnwys mynediad a chost y bws. Gwerthwn y tocynnau i’r rhai cyntaf i dalu, ac nid oes modd derbyn ad-daliad arnynt. Cysylltwch â’r Swyddfa Docynnau ar 01239 621200 i archebu.

Theatr Mwldan is proud to be working in partnership with Pontardawe Arts Centre and Taliesin Arts Centre to present Orchestra Baobab in Wales.

ALY BAIN & PHIL CUNNINGHAM BBC National Folk Awards ‘Best Duo’ 2005 Give a warm welcome back to Mwldan for these two legendary ambassadors of Scottish Traditional Music.

Aly Bain is Scotland’s supreme traditional style fiddler.

His playing is unique - driving, impassioned and pure with a vibrant, unmistakable tone that has earned him a following of ardent fans throughout the world. He helped establish the folk band Boys of the Lough and in addition to his solo albums he has appeared on albums by ‘Hue and Cry’, Eddie Reader, Richard Thomson and ‘Fish’. Aly has received many honours for his services to music, including four Doctorates and an M.B.E.

‘I had never heard the clarity of tone or the beauty. ..

I had never heard the passion.’ Billy Connolly Aly has toured and recorded with brilliant accordionist/composer Phil Cunningham since 1988.

Widely regarded as one of the most exciting and innovative accordion players of the times, Phil Cunningham has set the standards by which many young players fix their sights today. His early work with leading Scots band Silly Wizard (1976-1986) reclaimed a place for the instrument in traditional music and his astonishing dexterity and musicality has delighted audiences across the world. Phil was awarded the MBE in 2002 for services to Scottish Music and was voted Best Instrumentalist in the inaugural Scottish Traditional Music Awards in 2003.

Aly Bain yw ffidler arddull draddodiadol blaenaf yr Alban. Mae ei chwarae yn unigryw, ac mae ganddo lu o edmygwyr ar draws y byd. Bu’n teithio a recordio gyda’r chwaraewr acordion / cyfansoddwr rhyfeddol Phil Cunningham ers 1988. Fel Aly, mae Phil yn gelfydd tu hwnt, ac fe’i hystyrir yn un o chwaraewyr acordion mwyaf cyffrous ac arloesol ei oes. www.philandaly.com

SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER Directed by Peter Doran Mappa Mundi’s new production of Oliver Goldsmith’s groundbreaking 18th Century farce follows their recent successes with The Importance of Being Earnest, Moll Flanders and Canterbury Tales.

Two foppish suitors travelling to a country manor house are tricked into believing it to be a tavern in a practical joke played by the irresponsible and irrepressible Tony Lumpkin. Upon arrival the dandies treat their host, the long-suffering Mr Hardcastle, like an innkeeper. But this works to the advantage of his pretty and intelligent daughter Kate, who cleverly disguises herself as a bar-maid in order to win the heart of her disastrously tongue-tied suitor.

With an outrageous mix of secret elopements and nocturnal confusions, this comedy of manners sports witty dialogue, cutting humour and big wigs! A ribald and hilarious portrait of life and love in the town and country with mistaken identities, acts of blatant greed, selfishness and plain stupidity, all perfect fodder for Mappa Mundi’s satirical style.

Cult Welsh theatre company Mappa Mundi have built a reputation for gloriously irreverent, populist and accessible adaptations of classic theatrical and literary works and you can expect an original and flamboyant take on Goldsmith’s classic social comedy.

For their fourth co-production with Theatr Mwldan, Mappa Mundi are joined by the Torch Theatre, and their Artistic Director Peter Doran in the Directors chair.

THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI Great music and great cinema combine in a very special performance by the UK’s longest-established chamber orchestra, which was founded in 1949 by the great Harry Blech.

Evoking the golden age of silent movies, ten musicians will perform live music by Welsh composer Lynne Plowman to the silent film The Cabinet of Dr Caligari.

Released in 1920, it is regarded as one of the most influential German expressionist films and also the first true horror film. From the very opening scene, seemingly suspended in an otherworldly dimension, you realise you are in for a spooky ride, and the plot twists and turns to bring the film to an unexpected end.

Lynne Plowman first found recognition as a composer in 1995 when Blue for Symphony Orchestra won the BBC National Orchestra of Wales Young Composers Competition. Since then, her work has been increasingly performed throughout the UK and further afield, and is regularly featured on BBC Radio.

Mae cerddoriaeth wych a sinema grêt yn cyfuno yma mewn perfformiad arbennig iawn gan gerddorfa siambr hynaf Prydain.Yn galw i gof oes euraidd ffilmiau mud, bydd deg cerddor yn perfformio cerddoriaeth fyw gan y gyfansoddwraig Gymreig,Lynne Plowman, yn gyfeiliant i’r ffilm fud The Cabinet of Dr Caligari.

SHOW OF HANDS

CYD-GYNHYRCHIAD LMD PRODUCTIONS THEATR MWLDAN | CO-PRODUCTION

Show of Hands are undeniably one of the strongest current forces in acoustic music, England’s finest and most popular roots duo and something of a “people’s band”, regularly voicing the hopes, fears and life stories of scores of people in song.

LE TRIO JOUBRAN

An alchemist couldn’t have come up with a more potent, magical mix than that of Phil Beer, who can, as The Scotsman observed, “play nearly every stringed instrument known to man” and the inspired Steve Knightley, described by Mike Harding at BBC Radio 2’s 2007 Folk Awards as “one of England’s greatest singer songwriters”.

In 1996, despite an escalating fan base, the guys still couldn’t command London gigs. So they thought they’d create a modest one of their own - at the Royal Albert Hall! Taking a huge gamble, they hired ‘Kensington’s Village hall’ to the amusement of the media and the cynicism of sceptics, but had the last laugh, with a sold out show. They repeated this feat an incredible third time on their 15th anniversay in 2007, a testament to the huge popularity of their sound that continues to dodge the genres and puzzle the industry.

Show of Hands recently appearanced with Peter Gabriel and Jools Holland and have travelled the world, as well as playing Glastonbury, WOMAD, Cambridge Folk Festival, Celtic Connections and the inaugral Welsh Folk Prom.

Nid oes amau mai Show of Hands yw un o’r grymoedd mwyaf yng ngherddoriaeth acwstig, ac yn ddeuawd cerddoriaeth wreiddiau mwyaf poblogaidd Lloegr.

Gyda’i gilydd mai Phil Beer, sy’n rhagori ar bob math o offeryn llinynnol, a Steve Knightley, cyfansoddwr blaenllaw, yn swyngyfareddu.

MWLDAN 2

Following their stunning sell-out UK premiere at Mwldan three years ago, we are thrilled to welcome back these three young Palestinian brothers, Samir,Wissam and Adnan Joubran, sons of a master oud craftsman from the Biblical city of Nazareth and the world’s only oud trio. Joined by percussionist Yousef Hbeisch, they form a mesmerising musical unit with an intense connection.

With their magnificent, heart-wrenching improvisations that evoke the landscape, culture and people of Palestine, the trio conjour up harmony and sweetness, depth and joy. Between musical ecstasy and sumptuous silence, their instruments unite to express that which the spoken word cannot, carrying their audience from elation to melancholy on a wave of meditative melodies and percussive rhythms.

Wissam is exceptional as the first stringed instrument maker from the Arab World to graduate from the Antonio Stradivari Institute in Italy.

He crafted the three brother instruments played by the trio, bringing a total of six brothers to the stage!

Their music is rooted in traditional maqâms and their subtle interpretations, but also influenced by contemporary flamenco and jazz guitar.

Following appearances at Carnegie Hall in 2006, the Jerusalem Festival and WOMAD in 2007, don’t miss this uniquely inspiring group upon their return to Wales.

Mae’n bleser gennym groesawu yn ôl i’r Mwldan eleni y brodyr ifainc o Balesteina, meibion i feistr ar y grefft o wneud oud o ddinas Feiblaidd Nasareth, ac unig driawd oud y byd.Yn eu hail ymweliad â Chymru, mae’r offerynnwr taro Yousef Hbeisch yn ymuno â nhw, gan ddod â dimensiwn newydd i’r gerddoriaeth.

DEVON SPROULE

NEW ENGLISH CONTEMPORARY BALLET

Plus special guest Rod Thomas 25 year-old Virginian singer-songwriter Devon Sproule has a growing following for her sunny, warm and funny alternative pop, lingering just where the meandering lanes of folk, country and lightly swinging jazz intersect. Joyful, elegant and cheeky in equal measure, her music is deliciously unhurried, redolent of highsummer dog-day afternoons and balmy southern nights in her home town of Charlottesville, a picture-postcard college town just east of Virginia’s Blue Ridge mountains. She was raised nearby in an eco-village, where she grew up surrounded by musicians and learnt her trade. Her very original, carefully crafted songs are rendered so eloquently and delivered so unaffectedly that it’s extremely difficult not to buy into the dream.

Mae Devon Sproule yn gantores/cyfansoddwraig ifanc o Charlottesville,Virginia.Yr hyn sydd ganddi yw pop amgen sy’n hamddenol, cynnes a doniol, mae ei cherddoriaeth yn ddifrys ac yn ein hatgoffa o ddyddiau dioglyd haf. Mae ei chaneuon yn wreiddiol ac wedi eu saernïo’n ofalus a’u cyflwyno’n naturiol ac yn huawdl.

"Vintage country...with jazzy sophistication...beautifully sparse arrangements and melodies that surprise the ear when you first hear them, but which then get under your skin much more than anything more obvious would."

The witch and her cat are flying happily on their broomstick - until a stormy wind blows away the witch’s hat, bow and wand.

A helpful dog, bird and frog find the witch’s lost things, and they all hop on the broom for a ride. But this broomstick’s not meant for five and - CRACK - the broom snaps in two!

When a hungry dragon appears, who will save the poor witch? And will there ever be room on the broom for everyone?

“A forthright sound and a hungry energy” NEW YORK TIMES “...is, in my estimation, not only the greatest jazz clarinetist alive, but one of the greatest of all time” AHMET ERTEGUN, FOUNDING CHAIRMAN OF ATLANTIC RECORDS

SEBASTIEN GIRARDOT BASS

Evan Christopher - arguably the world’s current no.1clarinetist - and his new quartet celebrate the music of the legendary Django Reinhardt, infusing swing-era classics with virtuosic improvisations and sultry Latin rhythms from Havana, Rio de Janeiro and New Orleans.

Taking their primary inspiration for Django à la Créole in the legendary guitarist’s collaborations with American musicians, which included New Orleans clarinetists on several occasions, the guitars and bass work in tandem to weave syncopated rhythms on which the melodies of Christopher’s soaring, impassioned and elegant clarinet can float.

Caribbean and Brazil, with collective improvisation and a Spanish twist. Don’t miss an evening of timeless appeal, celebrating the rich musical connection between Gypsy Jazz and the sound of New Orleans.

Guitarist Dave Kelbie has visited Mwldan on several occasions, notably in 2007 as part of the rhythm section for the Angelo Debarre quartet.

Evan Christopher o bosib, yw clarinetydd gorau’r byd ar hyn o bryd, ac mae ei bedwarawd newydd yn dathlu cerddoriaeth yr enwog Django Reinhardt, gan gyfuno clasuron adeg swing gyda byrfyfyr meistrolgar a rhythmau Lladinaidd o Rio, Havana a New Orleans.

In late-August, 2005, Hurricane Katrina left 80% of the city of New Orleans under water. Among over fourthousand displaced musicians was Evan Christopher.

With little more than his clarinet and a suitcase full of clothes, Christopher chose Paris as his exile, where he worked diligently to raise awareness about the musical culture of New Orleans and formed Django à la Créole.

Daw’r gerddoriaeth o’r asiad rhwng swing Sipsi a rhythmau poeth strydoedd New Orleans gyda blas Sbaeneg yn ogystal. Noson i’w chofio.

The magic comes from the fusion of Gypsy swing with hot rhythms from the streets of New Orleans, the

La casa de Bernarda Alba yw un o ddramâu mwyaf ingol y canon Ewropeaidd : drama llawn tyndra rhywiol am dwf chwant rhywiol pump o fenywod ifanc; drama am berthynas gymhleth, gystadleuol y chwiorydd; drama am ofn eu mam o farn cymdeithas, a’i hawydd penderfynol i amddiffyn ei henw da.

BILLY BRAGG Twenty five years on, Billy Bragg arrives in Wales on a special 8-date solo tour to remember the Miners’ Strike and its legacy on the communities across Wales.

Ex-punk, ex-soldier, and ex-member of the Labour Party, Billy Bragg rose from working class origins in the 1980s to become one of the UK’s foremost pop and protest singers and left-wing icons. It was Margaret Thatcher who propelled the bard of Barking into action; Bragg’s defining political moment came with the Miners’ Strike of 1984-5, when the Conservative government set out to lay waste to Britain’s industrial heartlands, crippling communities and livelihoods in the process. Bragg became a fixture at political rallies and benefits, particularly during the Strike, with his powerful pro-union songs including Which Side Are You On, There Is Power In A Union and the EP title track Between The Wars.

A rebel in every sense, Bragg is best-known for his passionately political lyrics, but also admired for his offbeat love songs. This unique man continues to prove that music still has something to say about political causes, and, thank goodness, has a sense of humour.

Billy Bragg’s life encapsulates so much about his generation: born in the 50’s with politics shaped by Thatcherism, passions forged by punk and hope provided by the end of the cold war.Yet he is also unique: Billy is a British institution that will never go out of fashion - a peerless entertainer, fearless campaigner, much-loved maverick and idiosyncratic icon of leftfield pop.

Mae Billy Bragg yn ôl yng Nghymru gyda thaith unigol arbennig 8 dyddiad i gofio am Streic y Glowyr a’i heffaith ar gymunedau ar draws Cymru.

Datblygodd Billy yn un o gantorion pop a phrotest blaenaf Prydain ac yn eicon adain chwith. Margaret Thatcher a’i llywodraeth y’i ysbardunodd i weithredu wrth iddynt chwalu ardaloedd diwydiannol, gan ddistrywio cymunedau a bywoliaethau yn y broses.Ymunodd â ralïau gwleidyddol, a rhyddhaodd ganeuon grymus o blaid yr undebau.

Yn wrthryfelwr ym mhob ystyr y gair, mae Bragg yn unigryw, fel diddanwr, fel gwrthryfelwr ac fel eicon annwyl maes pop.

LA ZONA (15) Rodrigo Plá | Mexico | 2007 | 97’ A shrewd study in group pathology, this satirical thriller contrasts the third-world slums of modern Mexico with the heavily fortified, gated communities for the wealthy overclass and their families. One such community is horrified when a wealthy woman is brutally beaten, robbed and murdered by a trio of criminals who have somehow breached the perimeter. It looks like an inside job, so the upper-crust residents decide to settle their own business their own way. A nihilistic but thoughtful portrait of a country divided.

Mae’r ffilm gyffro ddychanol hon yn astudio’n gelfydd y cyferbyniad rhwng slymiau Mecsio fodern a’r cymunedau diogel i’r ariannog. Mae un o’r cymunedau hyn yn cael ei harswydo gan lofruddiaeth un o’i thrigolion, ac yn penderfynu delio â’r mater yn ei ffordd ei hunan, portread nihilaidd ond meddylgar o wlad ranedig.

THE CONFORMIST (15) Bernardo Bertolucci | Italy | France | West Germany | 1970 | 113’ It says a lot about the quality of Il Conformista that Bernardo Bertolucci would be considered a great director even if he’d never made another film. A sensual political period drama, it stars the ace French actor Jean-Louis Trintignant as Marcelo Clerici, a weak-willed Italian who has embraced Mussolini and his Brown Shirts. Perhaps one of the greatest films ever made, The Conformist harks back to a time when intelligence and class were the true hallmarks of great cinema.

Drama gyfnod wleidyddol am Marcelo Clerici, Eidalwr di-asgwrn a groesawodd Mussolini. O bosib, mae’r ffilm hon, gan y cyfarwyddwr celfydd Bernardo Bertolucci, yn un o’r ffilmiau gorau a grëwyd erioed.

As governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind the visitor’s appearance, it becomes apparent that Klaatu’s claim to be a "friend to the Earth" does not necessarily make him a friend of mankind.

HUNGER (15) Steve McQueen | UK | 2008 | 96’ This controversial, raw and powerful account of Bobby Sands’ 66 day hunger strike, directed by Turner Prize winner Steve McQueen, caused a sensation at Cannes where it picked up the first time director’s prize, the Camera d’Or, and it has just won the equivalent prize at the European Film Awards. Its centerpiece is an extraordinary 22minute single shot in which Sands debates the merits of the hunger strike and whether his near-certain death is suicide or martyrdom. Drawing parallels between the treatment of IRA prisoners, Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, Hunger is an urgent reminder of an ugly, tragic and dysfunctional period in British and Irish history.

Ffilm ddadleuol, grymus a chignoeth am streic newyn 66 diwrnod Bobby Sands. Mae Hunger yn ein hatgoffa o gyfnod trasig, annifyr a chamweithredol yn hanes Prydain ac Iwerddon.

FROST / NIXON (15) Ron Howard | USA | UK | France | 2008 | 122’ Michael Sheen and Frank Langella recreate the chemistry of their acclaimed West End and Broadway roles as David Frost and Richard Nixon. For three years after being forced from office as US President, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning, former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview. He surprised everyone in selecting Frost as his televised confessor, intending to outfox the breezy British showman and secure a place in the hearts and minds of Americans.What actually unfolds is an unexpectedly candid and revealing interview in which young journo Frost teases a Watergate confession out of the ex-President.

Ar ôl cael ei wthio o’i swydd, arhosodd Nixon yn dawel. Ond o’r diwedd, tair blynedd yn ddiweddarach, cytunodd roi un cyfweliad. Er syndod mawr i lawer, dewisodd Frost, newyddiadurwr Prydeinig ifanc.Yn hytrach nag anwylo’i hun i America, yr hyn a ddigwyddodd mewn gwirionedd oedd cyfweliad agored a didwyll a arweiniodd at gyffesiad Watergate.

Marking ex pro-boxer Rourke’s rehabilitation from acting obscurity, he puts in a truly heartbreaking performance.

Beginning with Guevara at the absolute peak of his fame and power, he suddenly disappears, resurfacing in Bolivia where he organizes a modest group of Cuban comrades and Bolivian recruits in preparation for the Latin American Revolution.

WATCHMEN (tbc) Zack Snyder | UK | USA | 2009 | 162’ tbc This heart-pounding action-packed sci-fi thriller, adapted from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ cult graphic novel, stars a ragbag of bizarre, damaged, retired superheroes.

BLINDSIGHT (PG) Lucy Walker | UK | 2008 | 104’ This acclaimed, thoughful and slow burning movie is both a stirring reminder of what humans can achieve against the odds, and a stunning visual experience set against the incredible Himalayan landscape. Sabriye Tenberken set up Braille Without Borders, the only school for blind people in Tibet. Together with world-renowned and blind mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer, she took a group of blind students on an epic journey to climb Lhakpa Ri, a 7,000 metre peak close to Mount Everest’s north face.What seems like a dangerous if not impossible challenge makes for an incredible journey, far beyond anything they could have imagined.

DEAN SPANLEY (U) Toa Fraser | New Zealand | UK | 2008 | 100’ DIGITAL | DIGIDOL Brilliantly eccentric, this wonderful costume drama based on the novel by Baron Dunsany is subtle, funny and moving, with some very fine acting thrown in for good measure, including Peter O’Toole who gives a scorching performance as misanthropic curmudgeon Horatio Fisk. In London, just after the turn of the twentieth century, the dutiful and somewhat disillusioned son Fisk Jnr. (Jeremy Northam) visits his cantankerous father. After attending a lecture about reincarnation by a visiting Hindu Swami, Fisk Jnr. makes the acquaintance of one Dean Spanley and strikes up a bizarre friendship. After the encouragement of a rare Hungarian wine, Spanley hales forth trance-like reminiscences of a highly unexpected former life, a pre-existence that may just hold the key to the family heartbreak that old Horatio is trying to keep repressed.

Full of gorgeously peculiar English quirks and ticks, Dean Spanley is a very special film which uses the wildest imaginings to reveal common emotional truths.

Cawn berfformiad aruthrol gan Peter O’Toole yn y ddrama gomedi ecsentrig hon, sy’n addasiad ar nofel, ac wedi ei gosod ychydig ar ôl troad yr ugeinfed ganrif. Ffilm am gyfeillgarwch, am drawsfudiad yr enaid ac am fywyd blaenorol annisgwyl!

They’re hot, they’re hip and their average age is 81, but rather than be defeated by health problems and tragedies, they transcend them. “Charming, heartwarming and totally kick-ass.” Empire Dylech ddisgwyl yr annisgwyl yn y ffilm ddogfen hon sy’n mynd i’r afael â stori ˆ p o bensiynwr arbennig hyn yn teithio’r byd yn wir Côr Young @ Heart.

IN PRISON MY WHOLE LIFE (15)

Marc Evans, Director of In Prison My Whole Life, will be joining us to introduce the screening on Saturday 17 January at 6.00pm. Marc will introduce and discuss the film, and answer your questions after the screening. Sesiwn Holi ac Ateb gyda’r Cyfarwyddwr Cymreig Marc Evans ar ddydd Sadwrn 17 Ionawr am 6.00yh.

Marc Evans | UK | USA | 2008 | 93’ DIGITAL | DIGIDOL Will Francombe was born in London on December 9th 1981. On the same day, over 3,000 miles away, Black Panther and radical journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal was arrested for the murder of a police officer. Sentenced to death and awaiting execution ever since, Mumia claimed innocence, attracting support from Amnesty International and Nelson Mandela amongst others, and becoming the most famous and controversial death row inmate in America. On a journey into the dark heart of the American judicial system, Francombe takes us to some surprising places and brings us into contact with some of America’s most original minds. The likes of Angela Davis, Mos Def, Noam Chomsky, Alice Walker, Snoop Dogg, Steve Earle, and Amy Goodman take us through a decadesold struggle for equality, fairness and respect that so many Americans strive for to this day. This is the first ever film endorsed by Amnesty International, and features a soundtrack by Massive Attack and Snoop Dogg.

Ffilm hynod am Mumia Abu Jamal, y dyn mwyaf enwog a dadleuol ar Death Row yn America. Cafodd y Black Panther a’r newyddiadurwr radical ei arestio am lofruddio heddwas ar y noson cafodd Will Francombe ei enw, bron 25 mlynedd yn ôl. Mae’r gymhariaeth felly yn drawiadol ac yn ysgytiol - bu un yn y carchar ers diwrnod geni’r llall.

Marc Evans is one of Wales’ leading film directors. His previous directing credits include My Little Eye, Snowcake and Trauma, featuring cast members Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver, Carrie-Anne Moss, Mena Suvari and Colin Firth.

BURN AFTER READING (15) Ethan Coen | Joel Coen | USA | 2008 | 96’ Sporting a spectacular all-star cast including John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, George Clooney, Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt, the Coen brothers’ new screwball comedy is snappy, confident, lightly satirical and stridently mischievous.When a CIA analyst’s memoirs accidentally fall into the hands of Linda and Chad, employees of the Hardbodies Fitness Center, events spiral out of control in a cascading series of darkly hilarious encounters. In contrast to their last movie, the Oscar winning No Country for Old Men, this latest film from Joel and Ethan (Fargo,The Big Lebowski) is hugely enjoyable, light-as-fluff and great entertainment.

Dyma gomedi newydd gwallgo’ y Brodyr Coen sy’n llawn dop o sêr, sy’n hyderus, yn slic, ychydig yn ddychanol ac yn hollol ddrygionus! Mae cofiannau dadansoddwr CIA yn dod i afael Linda a Chad, gweithwyr canolfan ffitrwydd.

Born out of a distrust of the German political establishment, the ultra left-wing Red Army Faction waged a vicious war against what they perceived to be the new face of fascism. The film’s eclectic producer and writer, Bernd Eichinger, was responsible for Downfall.

OF TIME AND THE CITY (12A) Terence Davies | UK | 2008 | 79’ DIGITAL | DIGIDOL Terence Davies’ heartfelt and highly personal journey into memories of the recent past is a lyrical collage of archive footage of Liverpool from the 1940s and 50s, intercut with newly filmed sequences and magically combined with a wonderfully rich selection of music, from Peggy Lee to Mahler, Handel to The Hollies.

In this unique event, here’s your chance to play a part in the completion of a movie! After the Italian surrender in North Africa, 1,500 Prisoners Of War were transported to Wales and housed at POW Camp 70 at Henllan, in the Teifi Valley near Newcastle Emlyn. There, inside a plasterboard hut, the Italians built a church; La Casa di Dio tells the story of that most unlikely and unique relic. Far from home, the prisoners vacated one of the cabins where they slept and, utilising unlikely ingredients including carrots, tobacco, old bully beef tins as well as borrowed cement, fashioned a church complete with dome and a fresco of The Last Supper. This independent film is as yet unfinished, but is showing at the Mwldan Festival as a special preview of a local production and some fascinating local history. If you have memories, or even images of this story, bring them along to a screening!

Bu rhyw 1500 o garcharorion yn byw yn Ngwersyll POW Camp 70, yn Henllan, ger Castell Newydd Emlyn. Mae ‘La Casa di Dio’ yn adrodd hanes annisgwyl eglwys a’i hadeiladwyd tu fewn i gaban ‘plasterboard’, gan garcharorion rhyfel Eidalaidd, yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd.Yn bell o adref, bu’n rhaid i’r carcharorion ymadael â un o’r cabanau ‘prefab’, er mwyn adeiladu eglwys i addoli ynddi. Gan ddefnyddio cynhwysion annisgwyl, megis moron, tobaco, a hen duniau cig eidion, yn ogystal â sment benthyg, addurnwyd yr eglwys gyda ffresco o’r Swper Olaf. Er fod y ffilm heb ei chwblhau, mae’n ymddangos fel rhan o’r wyl, fel rhagolwg arbennig o gynhyrchiad lleol.

AÑO UÑA (15) Jonas Cuaron | Mexico | 2007 | 79’ Jonas Cuaron spent a couple of years in Mexico photographing people he knew. He then took those casual snaps and pieced them together along with a script to create this amazingly engaging and compelling story exploring the tentative relationship between a 20-something American studying in Mexico and a 14-year-old boy obsessing about the wonders of the opposite sex. Both poignant and funny, its a sweet, touching and refreshingly different movie.

Gan gyfuno ffotograffau a sgript, creodd Jonas Cuaron stori gymhellol a gafaelgar am fyfyriwr ifanc o America sy’n astudio ym Mecsico, a chrwt 14 mlwydd oed sydd wrth ei fodd yn meddwl am ferched. Ffilm sydd ar yr un pryd yn ddoniol ac yn deimladwy.

A BUNCH OF AMATEURS (15) Andy Cadiff | UK | 2008 | 96’ This British comedy features Burt Reynolds as an ageing Hollywood action hero desperate to reinvigorate his waning career. He accepts a prestigious invitation to star in the British theatre, playing King Lear at Stratford…. only the Stratford in question is Stratford St John, a sleepy Suffolk village. And the theatre is an old barn, which the villagers want to save from closure by putting on a star-led charity performance. Derek Jacobi, Samantha Bond, Imelda Staunton and Charles Durning also star.

AUSTRALIA (tbc) Baz Luhrmann | Australia | USA | 2008 | 165’

DIGITAL | DIGIDOL Baz (Moulin Rouge) Luhrmann has fearlessly gone for a romantic, old-fashioned epic combining high adventure, awesome landscapes and panting passions, cramming the screen with ravishing images of gorgeous sunsets, limitless horizons, cattle, horses and warplanes. Nicole Kidman stars as an English aristocrat who joins forces with a roughhewn cattle driver (Hugh Jackman) to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of Australia’s most unforgiving land. Against the backdrop of the Second World War, the pair fall in love and along the way meet Nullah, a mixed race Aboriginal boy left orphaned by the inhumanity of Australian law, whose grandfather, the mystical King George, is played with awesome power by the renowned Aboriginal dancer and musician David Gulpilil. Jackman is the epitome of handsome, untamed individualism; Kidman tempers haughty stridency with a delicate comic playfulness. This multi-layered story depicts an Australia of the 1940s that is at once compellingly beautiful and breathtakingly cruel.

Wedi ei ffilmio yn ardal wyllt Gorllewin Awstralia, mae aristocrat Seisnig (Kidman) yn etifeddu fferm wartheg anferthol, ac yn ymuno â gyrrwr gwartheg (Jackman) i yrru’r anifeiliaid ar draws cefn gwlad creulon.

FAR NORTH (15 tbc) Asif Kapadia | UK | 2008 | 89’ DIGITAL | DIGIDOL Sean Bean and Michelle Yeoh star in this eerie fantasy filmed in a starkly beautiful corner of the planet. Saiva is a determined survivor who has been on the run in the Arctic Tundra for years, where she and her daughter have led an isolated existence, staying one step ahead of the army that destroyed her family and village.When a fugitive turns up, he quickly turns his romantic attention to Saiva’s emotionally-starved daughter. The snowscapes (and soundscapes) that frame this story are ravishing, and there are moments when Far North achieves the visionary, timeless quality of a folk tale.

MWLDAN 2

The Theatr Mwldan Film Festival celebrates its 15th anniversary in January 2009. Spread over two terrific weeks, the Festival is filled with 19 of the very best recent releases the world has to offer. If you have a passion for the big screen, now’s the time to indulge! There’s epic romance in Baz Luhrmann’s Australia, goofball comedy with a twist in the Coen brothers’ Burn After Reading, plus British comedy A Bunch of Amateurs which boasts a stunning cast of veteran actors.

Peter O'Toole excels in the eccentric comedy drama Dean Spanley, and there’s a strong international flavour, including Welsh Director Marc Evans’ Amnesty International-endorsed documentary In Prison My Whole Life.

Live events over the coming months include numerous Mwldan Co-productions.We welcome back: the full-blooded sound of Bellowhead; Catrin Finch & Cimarron, a stunning collaboration

between the iconic Welsh harpist and the virtuosic Colombian band; and Mappa Mundi, who stage the classic comedy of errors She Stoops to Conquer, directed by Peter Doran of the Torch Theatre.

We’re also really excited to be co-producing a 9-date tour of Wales in June by Billy Bragg, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Miners’ Strike.

Wed 18 Mer

There’s a packed programme of community shows, and a truly massive line-up of all the latest cinema releases. Oriel Mwldan’s programme continues as well with two exhibitions from Wales by Holly Davey and Osi Rhys Osmond.

MWLDAN 2

The Theatr Mwldan Film Festival celebrates its 15th anniversary in January 2009. Spread over two terrific weeks, the Festival is filled with 19 of the very best recent releases the world has to offer. If you have a passion for the big screen, now’s the time to indulge! There’s epic romance in Baz Luhrmann’s Australia, goofball comedy with a twist in the Coen brothers’ Burn After Reading, plus British comedy A Bunch of Amateurs which boasts a stunning cast of veteran actors.

Peter O'Toole excels in the eccentric comedy drama Dean Spanley, and there’s a strong international flavour, including Welsh Director Marc Evans’ Amnesty International-endorsed documentary In Prison My Whole Life.

Live events over the coming months include numerous Mwldan Co-productions.We welcome back: the full-blooded sound of Bellowhead; Catrin Finch & Cimarron, a stunning collaboration

between the iconic Welsh harpist and the virtuosic Colombian band; and Mappa Mundi, who stage the classic comedy of errors She Stoops to Conquer, directed by Peter Doran of the Torch Theatre.

We’re also really excited to be co-producing a 9-date tour of Wales in June by Billy Bragg, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Miners’ Strike.

Wed 18 Mer

There’s a packed programme of community shows, and a truly massive line-up of all the latest cinema releases. Oriel Mwldan’s programme continues as well with two exhibitions from Wales by Holly Davey and Osi Rhys Osmond.
