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 chwarae hefyd gyda nifer o artistiaid eraill blaengar. 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. Mae’r ddau wedi derbyn MBE am eu gwasanaeth i gerddoriaeth a gyda’i gilydd maent yn cynrychioli Cerddoriaeth Draddodiadol yr Alban ar ei gorau.

SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER Directed by Peter Doran

CARDIGAN THEATRE

AN EVENING OF ONE ACT PLAYS Long Autumn Long Autumn, appropriately named, is a retirement home for theatricals in the autumn of their lives, where euphemism reigns supreme together with a firm belief that elderly equals senile. Into their midst is flung Maisie May, a former music-hall star and too much of a burden for her strait-laced son and daughter-in-law, who do not find Maisie amusing. Initially, the evercheerful Maisie copes with the rigours of Long Autumn in her own inimitable style but she becomes increasingly depressed. Then, a breezy impresario arrives with big plans for Maisie.

Cartref preswyl yw Long Autumn yn gofalu am hen actorion, gyda’r Maisie May bywiog yn eu plith. Ond mae cyn-seren y theatr gerdd yn digalonni yno, nes i gynnig newydd ddod ger ei bron.

To Have And To Hold Shocked at her father’s sudden death, Susan has rushed from London where she is rehearsing a new play. As she and her mother, Margaret, return from arranging the funeral they are at loggerheads - as ever.

Even the arrival of kindly Aunt Lillian, Margaret’s younger sister, can’t melt Margaret’s hard exterior. But as Susan privately recalls childhood memories, a shocking truth begins to emerge. Cleverly interspersing thirty years past with the present, this is a family drama with reconciliation at its heart.

Mae To Have and To Hold yn ddrama sy’n troi o gwmpas marwolaeth sydyn tad Susan. Daw’r gorffennol a’r presennol ynghyd gydag atgofion a gwirionedd yn dod i’r wyneb.

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.

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.

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 Oliver Goldsmith’s classic social comedy.

Yn y ffars arloesol hon, gwelwn dau w^ r ifanc yn cael eu twyllo i feddwl mai tafarn yw plasty gwledig.Yr hyn sy’n dilyn yw cymysgedd chwerthinllyd o gamsyniadau, trachwant, hunaniaeth a thwpdra pur, y rysáit perffaith ar gyfer Mappa Mundi!

LONDON MOZART PLAYERS 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. It tells the tale of Dr Caligari and his sleepwalking friend Cesare, a carnival attraction who prophesizes someone’s death. 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.

“one of the most brilliantly accomplished new operas I have heard for many a year.” (The Times on Lynne Plowman’s Gwyneth and the Green Knight)

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.

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, which continues to dodge musical genres and puzzle the music industry.

SHOW OF HANDS Show of Hands recently appeared with Peter Gabriel and Jools Holland 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.

LE TRIO JOUBRAN Samir Joubran oud Wissam Joubran oud Adnan Joubran oud Yousef Hbeisch percussion Following their stunning UK premiere in Wales three years ago, we are thrilled to welcome back Le Trio Joubran.

These three young Palestinian brothers – Samir, Wissam and Adnan - are sons of a master oud craftsman from the Biblical city of Nazareth, and the world’s only oud trio.

They are joined by virtuoso percussionist Yousef Hbeisch whose artistic contribution brings a new depth and richness to their music.

With their skillful, heart-wrenching improvisations that evoke the landscape, culture and people of Palestine, the trio conjour up harmony and sweetness, depth and joy.

On stage, their eyes meet and their instruments unite to express that which the spoken word cannot. Between musical ecstasy and sumptuous silence, the trio carries its audience from elation to melancholy. Their overwhelming stage performances are both precise and overflowing with emotions that will take your breath away.

9

All three brothers are virtuosos, but Wissam, aged 25 is exceptional as the first stringed instrument maker from the Arab World to graduate from the Antonio Stradivari Institute in Italy. Wissam personally crafted the three brother instruments played by the trio, bringing a total of six brothers to the stage! Together, they form a mesmerising musical unit with an intense connection, punctuating meditative melodies with fiery, percussive rhythms and contemplative, poignant silences.

Their repertoire, made up of original creations and magnificent improvisations, is rooted in their knowledge of traditional maqâms and their subtle interpretations. But they are also influenced by contemporary flamenco and jazz guitarists such as John McLaughlin.

Since being nominated for the 2004 Django d’Or awards, selected for Womex 2004 and Strictly Mundial 2005, the trio has been living a musical adventure taking them all over the world including Carnegie Hall in 2006, and the Jerusalem Festival and WOMAD in 2007. Please give this unique group a warm welcome on 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.

EVAN CHRISTOPHER’S DJANGO À LA CRÉOLE Evan Christopher clarinet David Blenkhorn guitar Dave Kelbie guitar Sebastien Girardot bass Evan Christopher - arguably the world’s current no.1 clarinetist - 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.

Inspired by Reinhardt’s collaborations with American musicians, which included New Orleans clarinetists on several occasions, the guitars and bass in this quartet work in tandem to weave syncopated rhythms on which the melodies of Christopher’s soaring, impassioned and elegant clarinet can float.

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

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.

BILLY BRAGG Twenty five years on, Billy Bragg arrives in Wales on a special 9-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.

WELSH WILDLIFE CENTRE | CANOLFAN NATUR CYMRU ILLYRIA

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM

By William Shakespeare One young couple are hopelessly in love, another are in denial, the Duke can’t wait to get his hands on his bride-to-be - and the fairy King and Queen hate each other’s guts. Deep in the forest Puck makes a careless mistake, and the consequences escalate into absolute uproar.

Amidst the mayhem a group of earnest but talentless workmen start rehearsing a play about a tragically doomed love affair; Shakespeare’s timeless comic masterpiece explores every colour in the spectrum of love, from arranged marriage to elopement, from infatuation to hatred, from chivalric devotion to raw sex.

Written in 1595 to celebrate a winter wedding, it is simply bursting with passion, laughter and the promise of summer. It’s fast, it’s fun and it’s spoken beautifully - Illyria are the only UK open-air touring company to have won 4 international awards, and have a justified reputation for being the best. Performed with a magical twist, Illyria’s production of this perennial Shakespeare favourite is passionate, poetic and very, very funny. Suitable for all ages 8+.

Mae campwaith comig anfarwol Shakespeare yn ymwneud â phob agwedd o gariad a serch - y da a’r drwg.

Mae Illyria yn grw^ p o 5 actor sy’n perfformio dramâu Shakespeare mewn modd gelfydd ac unigryw, ac mewn arddull ddilys oes Elisabeth. Peidiwch â cholli’r ffefryn doniol hwn sy’n addas i bawb dros 8 mlwydd oed.

THE MOWGLI STORIES A young man emerges from the jungle and leads a Forest Officer straight to where the man-eating tiger has hidden. He summons a wild buffalo at will, and even commands a horse some miles away to deliver its rider to him. How is he performing these incredible feats? He says he grew up in the jungle, speaks all the animals’ languages and learned their laws. But can this be true?

Mowgli’s REAL adventures, as told by Rudyard Kipling, are more extraordinary and a lot more exciting than any cartoon film! The values Kipling champions are those of responsibility, tolerance of one’s neighbours and the wisdom to live in harmony with one’s environment rather than exploiting it. Illyria use an ensemble chorus combining masks, puppetry and song to evoke the amazing world of Kipling’s jungle.

The show is funny, exciting and suitable for all ages 5+.

Daw dyn ifanc allan o’r jyngl gan honni ei fod wedi ei fagu yno, yn siarad iaith pob anifail ac wedi dysgu am eu cyfreithiau. Gwna’r anifeiliaid yr hyn mae’n eu gorchymyn. Dyma gynhyrchiad newydd sbon, sy’n cynnwys mygydau, pypedwaith a chanu i ail-greu byd syfrdanol jyngl Kipling.Yn ddoniol, yn gyffrous ac yn addas i bawb dros 5 mlwydd oed.

Young D’Artagnan is desperate to join Athos, Porthos and Aramis as a Musketeer of the King’s Guard. But are his swashbuckling credentials sufficient? Find out as the fearless four rescue the Queen’s diamonds, restore her honour, survive the plots laid by the scheming Cardinal Richelieu, race the clock to save the hapless Mme Bonancieux and cross swords with one of the original and deadliest femmes fatales, Milady de Winter. Both thrilling and comic, the devilish intrigues, perilous fights and cliffhanging suspense set the pulse racing, despite the fact that the four central characters are either penniless gamblers or drunken reprobates - or both!

It’s All for One; One for All! as Illyria take on one of the greatest masterpieces of French comic literature!

This brand new production, specially adapted for Illyria, is sumptuously costumed, fast-moving, and suitable for all ages 8+.

Y tro ‘ma mae Illyria yn cyflwyno cynhyrchiad newydd sbon o un o gampweithiau mwyaf llenyddiaeth gomig Ffrainc. Mae’r straeon yn dilyn anturiaethau D’Artagnan ifanc wrth iddo geisio profi ei werth fel mysgedwr ac ymuno gyda’r gwrol Athos, Porthos ac Aramis. Gyda chleddyfa cyffrous, a gwisgoedd moethus, bydd cyflwyniad Illyria yn siw^ r o’ch plesio.

DANGEROUS OBSESSION A PLAY BY N.J. CRISP “…the plot has so many surprises that each new revelation…turned up like unexpected hidden cards in a poker game.”

London Evening Standard Cardigan Theatre present their annual summer play, a powerfully gripping suspense by N.J Crisp. On a sunny afternoon in the Home Counties Sally Driscoll is watering her plants in the conservatory of her luxurious home, clad only in a swimsuit. Peaceful enough – but suddenly a bespectacled, suited man, John Barrett, appears at the door. Is he selling double glazing? No – it would appear that the Barretts met the Driscolls in Torquay. Simple Barrett may appear, but simple he is not. After some exacting word-play, and the arrival of Mark Driscoll, it seems that Barrett is “dangerously obsessed” with pinning the blame for his wife’s accident on someone. Gradually the tale unfolds, revealing conflicting facets of the Driscolls’ lives. These Barrett strips away, until he exits, as suddenly as he entered, leaving behind shattered faith, broken trust and a marriage that will never heal.

Dyma gyflwyniad Cardigan Theatre am yr haf eleni, ac mae’n ddrama rymus bydd yn eich cadw ar flaen eich seddau! Mae John Barrett yn benderfynol o roi’r bai am ddamwain ei wraig ar rywun, ac mae’n edrych i gyfeiriad Mark Driscoll.Yn raddol mae’r stori’n datblygu gan adael dim ond ffydd ac ymddiriedaeth sydd wedi chwalu, a phriodas ni fydd byth yn adfer.

OYSTERBAND

MABON

MWLDAN 2

Once the bad boys of folk and rock, Oysterband have grown over the past five years into the role of godfathers of folk roots.

Influenced by all manner of music, culture and style, the heartbeat of the band is a deep-rooted love of the traditional music of Britain, a tradition that deals in integrity, passion, human experience and human emotion - songs that made you want to dance, laugh, cry, jump for joy – even start a fight! From their early days in the mid 80s, the Oysters have grabbed folk by the scruff of the neck and shaken furiously. This, alongside some vitriolic social commentaries from their own pens, got up quite a few noses and dented the veneer of sweetness and light which was strangling pop and rock at the time. At every turn since, they’ve steadfastly followed their own instincts, gloriously disregarding irrelevancies such as image, musical boundaries and media hype, and even collaborating with the high priestess of English folk song, June Tabor. Oyster trademarks - a folk ear for a great vocal tune, strong lyrics, wry politics, big dynamics, a sense of musical theatre and a deepdown musicality that can afford to take itself fairly lightly - have helped them to become one of the most irresistible bands of the last decade.

This outstanding Welsh 6 piece deliver melodic, exhilarating, and groove laden tunes that have earned them the well deserved tag - ‘celtic festival disguised as a band’!

EUROPEAN BALLET

CINDERELLA CLASSICAL BALLET IN 2 ACTS This magical and most enchanting of all fairy tales is presented by the successful and exceptionally popular European Ballet, a company of superb international dancers under the direction of a Principal Dancer of The Bolshoi Ballet, Stanislav Tchassov.

A wonderful blend of exquisite solos, pas de deux and grand ensembles complete the magical atmosphere of the ballet, all performed by a cast of exceptional dancers from Russia, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Bulgaria and the UK, many of whom are international competition winners.

QUIET CHAOS (15)

A superbly crafted tale of an Istanbul family drawn into a web of deceit, guilt and murder when the father agrees to take the rap for a hit-and-run for his politician employer, this noir-ish thriller is full of dark irony. Carrying off the Best Director award at Cannes 2008, it unfolds over a sweltering, energy-sapping summer. The story is surprisingly simple but brilliantly told, focusing on the inner worlds of its troubled characters, who are visited by the ghost of a dead child. Shot in high definition, its images have a haunting beauty and its meticulous soundscape is integral to the brooding, ominous atmosphere. A must-see. Stori wedi ei saernïo’n gelfydd am deulu o Istanbwl sy’n cael ei dynnu i we o dwyll, euogrwydd a llofruddiaeth pan mae’r tad yn cytuno i gymryd y bai dros ei gyflogwr, sy’n wleidydd, am ddamwain taro a ffoi yn y ffilm gyffro dywyll hon sy’n llawn eironi.

Antonello Grimaldi | Italy | YEAR | 111’ Writer-star Nanni Moretti builds a devastating portrait of a man mildly estranged from his daughter yet completely out of touch with his own humanity as Pietro, a top television executive whose wife dies in ironic circumstances. Paladini, riven with guilt about his wife’s death, abandons the office and decamps to a park bench directly opposite his daughter’s school. There, he encounters locals, strangers, friends and family, who force him to face some uncomfortable questions: How much did he really love his wife? How much did he know her? And how much does he know himself? The self-reflection is undercut by the quality of top-flight talent in supporting roles (including Roman Polanski as a company CEO) and a slew of immaculately crafted one-liners. Mae gwraig Pietro yn marw ac mae’n llawn euogrwydd. O ganlyniad mae’n troi ei gefn ar y swyddfa ac yn treulio ei amser ar fainc mewn parc sy’n gyferbyn ag ysgol ei ferch. Oddi yno, mae’n archwilio ei fywyd ac yn wynebu cwestiynau anghysurus hunan-adlewyrchol.

LA CASA DI DIO (U) Owain Lly^r | Cymru | 2008 | 52’ SUBTITLES | IS-DEITLAU As a result of the hugely popular screenings of La Casa Di Dio during the Mwldan Film Festival in January, and the tremendous response received from all those who attended, Director/Producer Owain Lly^ r uncovered enough new material to be able to finish his film. 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. Yn dilyn ildiad yr Eidalwyr yng Ngogledd Affrica, cafodd 1500 o Garcharorion Rhyfel eu cludo i Gymru i fyw yng Ngwersyll POW Camp 70 yn Henllan, yng Nghwm Teifi, ger Castell Newydd Emlyn.Yno, tu fewn i gaban ‘plasterboard’, adeiladodd yr Eidalwyr eglwys; mae La Casa di Dio yn adrodd hanes y crair mwyaf annhebygol ac unigryw hwnnw.

Rwy’n edrych ymlaen at dod yn ôl i Theatr Mwldan, er mwyn cyflwyno’r fersiwn gorffenedig o’r ffilm, ac i ddiolch eto i bobl Ceredigion, a phawb fu’n gymorth tra fues i’n cwpla’r ffilm.

I am looking forward immensely to showing the completed film in Theatr Mwldan, and having the opportunity to thank the people of Ceredigion, and everyone who has helped to complete the film.

Diolch yn Fawr, Owain Lly^ r

DIGITAL | DIGIDOL

Shot in High Definition, Salute Petra is a wonderful tribute concert to the late Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti, performed at the world heritage site Petra, in Jordan.

Other performers included Andrea Griminelli, Zucchero, Jovanotti and Laura Pausini all supported by the Prague Philharmonia Orchestra.

MARLEY & ME (PG) David Frankel | USA | 2008 | 115’ The rituals of the dog-owning world are governed by stringent protocols, but short of causing actual bodily harm, Marley is on a mission to infringe them all. This family-orientated canine comedy from the director of The Devil Wears Prada stars Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston as the couple who acquire the world’s worst labrador. Marley is the sort of dog who will eat the answer machine and then go back and have the phone for desserts, so it’s no wonder he fails obedience school, traumatises the dogsitter and sparks outrage in owners of better trained pets!

GRAN TORINO (15) Clint Eastwood | USA | Australia | 2008 | 116’ Eastwood’s highest grossing movie to date stars the 78 year old as grizzled and unrepentantly rascist Korean War veteran Walt. Harbouring a simmering disgust towards mankind in general,Walt does not attempt to hide his disdain for an Asian family when they move in next door. However, he soon becomes a mentor and protector to their son Thao and his sister, revealing an underlying tenderness and humanity in his character, but putting him on a collision course with the local gang who have Thao in their sights. Played with a darkly comic dose of self parody, Eastwood’s swansong pokes fun at his most famous “Dirty Harry” screen persona, whilst Clint the actor does what he does best. Yn y ffilm lwyddiannus hon mae Eastwood yn chwarae rhan hiliwr diedifar a chyn filwr Rhyfel Corea, sef Walt. Nid yw’n ceisio cuddio ei ddirmyg pan mae teulu Hmong yn symud i fyw yn y ty^ drws nesaf iddo. Ond cyn hir mae’n dod yn fentor ac yn warchodwr i fab y teulu Thao, a’i chwaer, gan ddatgelu tynerwch a dynoliaeth yn ei gymeriad.

Shy, ten-year-old Will escapes the confines of a strict religious upbringing by re-enacting the macho exploits of Sly Stallone in the English countryside with Lee Carter, school terror and maker of bizarre home movies. Together the boys cheerfully set the screen on fire until Will’s smothering mum and her Plymouth Brethren threaten to pull the plug. A joyous spirit of mischief is ever-present and Director Jennings has an eye for brilliant visual gags too. The boys’ rapport feels totally authentic, so beyond the belly laughs and sunny 80s nostalgia, this is a portrait of friendship which is truly tender and moving. Tune in and let your inner child run amok. Wedi ei osod yn yr 80au, mae’r comedi dod i oed hwn yn dilyn hanes Will, crwt swil deng mlwydd oed, sy’n dianc cyfyngiadau ei fagwraeth grefyddol lym i ailberfformio stynts macho Sly Stallone yng nghefn gwlad Lloegr.

STATE OF PLAY (tbc)

Joel Hopkins | UK | USA | 2009 | 93’

Kevin Macdonald | USA | UK | 2009 | 125’ tbc Acclaimed director Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland) transfers the BBC’s hit drama from Whitehall to Washington in this blistering political thriller. Russell Crowe plays D.C. investigative journalist Cal McCaffrey, whose ruthless editor, played by a delightfully steely Helen Mirren, has assigned him to investigate the brutal murder of the research assistant to his old friend, rising political star Congressman Stephen Collins (Ben Affleck). McCaffrey’s street smarts lead him to untangle a mystery of murder and collusion among some of the nation’s most promising political and corporate figures. Mae’r ffilm gyffro wleidyddol hon, a seiliwyd ar ddrama wreiddiol y BBC, wedi ei gosod yn Washington. Gyda Russell Crowe fel newyddiadurwr a Helen Mirren fel ei olygydd craff, mae llofruddiaeth cynorthwy-ydd ymchwil yn arwain at ddirgelwch a chydgynllwyn ymhlith rhai o ffigyrau mwyaf dylanwadol y genedl. Mae’n darganfod pan fo arian mawr yn y fantol, does neb na dim yn ddiogel.

In one of the best romantic comedies of the decade Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson star as an unlikely pair who unexpectedly transform one another’s lives.

New Yorker Harvey Shine arrives in London only to learn his daughter has chosen to have her stepfather walk her down the aisle instead of him. Devastated, he leaves the wedding early but misses his plane and gets fired from his job. Drowning his sorrows at the airport bar, Harvey strikes up a conversation with Kate, a slightly prickly, 40something employee of the Office of National Statistics. Their growing connection proves that it’s never too late to change your life. Un o gomedïau rhamantaidd gorau’r degawd gyda’r sêr Dustin Hoffman ac Emma Thompson. Mae bywyd Harvey Shine yn mynd o ddrwg i waeth, mae’n darganfod bod ei ferch am i’w llys-dad ei cherdded ar hyd yr eil yn ei phriodas, mae’n colli ei awyren, ac o ganlyniad ei swydd.Ym mar y maes awyr mae’n cyfarfod â Kate ac mae’r hyn sy’n datblygu rhyngddynt yn profi nid yw hi byth yn rhy hwyr i newid eich bywyd.

CORALINE (PG) Henry Selick | USA | 2009 | 100’ The visionary director of The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach, meets the extraordinary imagination of best-selling author Neil Gaiman, to create an other-worldy adventure fairytale steeped in classic storytelling, combining cutting edge stop frame animation and the old fashioned art of moviemaking magic. Coraline finds a secret door in her new house and stumbles upon a parallel world and an alternate version of her own life. But when her fantastical adventure turns dangerous, she must rely on her resourcefulness, determination and bravery to get back home. A triumph of craftsmanship and the imagination for the whole family to enjoy. Yn stori dylwyth teg arallfydol wedi ei seilio ar waith yr awdur Neil Gaiman, dyma grefftwaith a dychymyg ar eu gorau. Mae Coraline yn darganfod drws yn ei chartref newydd ac yn dod ar draws byd paralel a fersiwn arall o’i bywyd ei hun, ond mae’r antur yn troi’n beryglus. Dewch â’r teulu cyfan i ddarganfod beth â ddaw ohoni!

GHOSTS OF GIRLFRIENDS PAST (tbc) Mark Waters | USA | 2009 | tbc’ Celebrity photographer Connor Mead (Matthew McConaughey) loves freedom, fun and women...in that order. A committed bachelor who thinks nothing of breaking up with multiple women on a conference call, Connor’s mockery of romance proves a real buzzkill for his kid brother, Paul, on the eve of his wedding. Michael Douglas is the sleazy dead uncle who announces that Connor is to be visited by the ghosts of his former jilted girlfriends, who take him on a revealing and hilarious odyssey through his failed relationships - past, present and future. They attempt to find out what turned Connor into such an insensitive jerk and whether there is still hope for him to find true love...

Mae Connor Mead yn hoff o ryddid, joio a merched, yn y drefn honno. Mae’n ddibriod ac yn ystyried rhamant fel ffolineb, sy’n lladd ar yr awyrgylch llon ar noswyl briodas Paul, ei frawd. Mae Michael Douglas yn ymddangos ar y foment hon fel ysbryd hen ewythr gan ddatgan y bydd ysbrydion cyn-gariadon yn ymweld ag ef a’i dywys ar siwrnai i ddarganfod pam yn gymwys mae’n trin merched fel y mae...ac i weld os oes unrhyw obaith iddo.

Larry Charles | USA | 2008 | 101’

THE AGE OF STUPID (12A)

Ever since Carter first wore his Christian faith on his presidential sleeve there has been a virulent strain of political religiosity at the White House. This funny, irreverent and provocative documentary from political comedian Bill Maher and Larry Charles, director of Borat, sets out to challenge that with its vicious attack on religious ideas, beliefs, and claims that are patently absurd, comical, or ridiculous. Maher doesn’t let anyone off the hook, whether they worship God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha or marijuana. His argument - that in a society afraid to challenge its dogmas, religion is downright dangerous - encourages people to engage their brains while choking back tears of laughter. For Religulous does not take itself all that seriously and, like Borat, its principal achievement is to make Americans look really, really dumb. Mae’r ffilm ddogfen hon yn ymosod ar gydsyniadau, credau a honiadau crefyddol yn America sy’n amlwg yn abswrd, comig neu yn chwerthinllyd. Nid yw’n ffilm sy’n cymryd ei hun o ddifrif, ac mae’n taclo pawb, addolwyr Iesu, Duw, Allah, Buddha ...a mariwana. Ei bwynt yw bod crefydd mewn cymdeithas sy’n ofn ymdrin â’i chredoau, yn beth peryglus tu hwnt, ac mae’n llwyddo hefyd i wneud Americanwyr i edrych yn wirion dros ben.

LA SCALA: LA TRAVIATA (U) Music: Giuseppe Verdi | Conductor: Lorin Maazel | Directed: Liliana Cavani | Designer: Dante Ferretti | Costumes: Gabriella Pescucci | Italy | 2007 | 133’ + interval DIGITAL | DIGIDOL Based on a novel by Alexandre Dumas, La Traviata is one of Verdi’s most celebrated works. Courtesan Violetta Valery meets a new admirer, Alfredo Germont, who confesses his love. Trouble brews when Alfredo’s father demands that she renounce his son since the scandal of Alfredo’s affair with her has threatened his daughter’s engagement. This 2007 production at La Scala sees Angela Gheorghiu in her celebrated debut as Violetta. Praised by Bloomberg for having “mastered the role” and “acting her socks off,” Gheorghiu leads an all-star cast which includes Ramón Vargas and Roberto Frontali. With the brilliant conductor Lorin Maazel on the podium, La Traviata is directed by Liliana Cavani. Wedi ei seilio ar nofel gan Alexandre Dumas, mae La Traviata yn un o gampweithiau mwyaf enwog Verdi. Opera am garwriaeth ydyw rhwng Violetta Valery, putain llys, ac Alfredo Germont, ei hedmygydd newydd.

Ond nid yw’r berthynas yn cael blodeuo a chyn hir mae Violetta ar ei gwely angau gyda’r diciâu, ac Alfred yn erfyn am faddeuant. Gyda chast dawnus, sy’n cynnwys Angela Gheorghiu fel Violetta. www.more2screen.com

This, the first successful dramatisation of climate change to reach the big screen, stars Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite (In The Name of the Father, Brassed Off) as a man living alone in the devasted world of 2055. Asking “Why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance?”, he pulls together clips of news and documentary from 2008 showing what went wrong and why. This tender, funny and wise film strips away every excuse you have for not doing anything about climate change. Its issues are never over-simplified and individual human concerns are not trivialised. Director Franny Armstrong’s (McLibel ) powerful and unforgettable film urges everyone to take action before it’s too late. Mae hon yn ffilm nerthol, doniol a doeth - ac mae’n fythgofiadwy.
