Welsh Film Preview Days

“Excellent to see a Welsh language film on release, and an exciting one too! Very pleased, and looking forward to screening it!” - Preview Day attendee

Film Hub Wales is committed to celebrating our heritage on screen. As part of our year round programme, we offer support to organisations across Wales to programme Welsh made, Welsh language or Welsh archive films.

Since 2013, Film Hub Wales has hosted twelve Welsh Film Preview Days – screenings of upcoming Welsh-made or Welsh-language film releases designed to support the wider programming and reach of Welsh film. The days include free screenings of the upcoming films, information packs and networking at different member venues across the country. 

Film Hub Wales then offers an underwriting service  if exhibitors decide to book. This might include minimum guarantees, marketing and/or a contribution towards event costs where talent is available.

We enjoy travelling round the country to see members and host the days at different sites. This is where we have been and what we have screened to date:
