Synopsis: Oscar-nominated film starring Huw Garmon in the title role. Poetry was Ellis Evans’ passion and his life’s ambition was to be chaired at a National Eisteddfod. He achieved this at the Birkenhead Eisteddfod of 1917. Unfortunately, he never knew of his success as he was fighting the Germans in the trenches of Ypres, where he died during his first day on the Western Front.

Cyfle arall i weld y ffilm a enwebwyd am Oscar gyda Huw Garmon yn y brif ran.Barddoniaeth oedd angerdd mawr bywyd Ellis Evans, a’i brif uchelgais oedd ennill cadair yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol. Llwyddodd i wneud hynny yn Eisteddfod Penbedw 1917. Yn anffodus, ni ddaeth i wybod am ei lwyddiant; roedd e’n ymladd yn erbyn yr Almaenwyr yn Ypres a bu farw ar ei ddiwrnod cyntaf ar y Ffrynt Gorllewinol. Dyma stori Ellis Evans, un o feirdd enwocaf Cymru.

Format: Digit Beta or DVD (please confirm with S4C).

Synopsis: In the summer of 1955, Alfred and Jakobine were crazy for adventure and each other. They married as impetuously as they decided to drive around the world in a beat up London taxicab. Their love, like their trip, was defined by passion, brushes with death and even stardom. Jakobine was certain they’d last forever—but without warning, Alfred left, breaking her heart. Forty years later, their son Niels takes up their story when, at 84, Alfred decides to restore that old wreck of a car and head across America to see Jakobine one more time. A trove of beautiful archival footage and emotional recollections guide Niels’ tender but pressing need to reconcile the man he never really knew and the love his mother never forgot. Thoroughly engaging, Alfred and Jakobine is a beautifully crafted love letter to four decades of heartache, two unforgettable characters and one extraordinary past.
