His debut book\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.russwilliams.org\/\">Where the Folk: A Welsh Folklore Road Trip<\/a>\u00a0looks at the history and origins of some of the country\u2019s most influential folktales.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When we think of fairies, we tend to think of pleasant, winged little darlings here to make our dreams come true with a wave of their sparkling magic wands. You\u2019d be forgiven for thinking they would make for rather laughable foes in any horror film, yet in Rabbit Trap, the latest feature film to bring Welsh folklore to the big screen, they are anything but. That is because the film draws inspiration from Wales\u2019 answer to the fairy myth; the Tylwyth Teg. And in Welsh fairy tales, people rarely live happily ever after.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-184903 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-50-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-50-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-50-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-50-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-50.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>This psychological horror, produced by Anglesey-based production company Mad as Birds, follows the story of married couple Darcy (played by Dev Patel) and Daphne (Rosy McEwen), who have relocated from London to a house in rural Wales, seemingly so that professional singer Daphne can focus on her new album. Darcy spends most of his days capturing natural audio clips for Daphne\u2019s new record and it is these field recordings which ultimately invite a malevolent force into their home, which arrives in the form of a nameless child (played by Merthyr Tydfil actor Jade Croot) who just won\u2019t go away. The film stays true to the lore of the Tylwyth Teg, blending different aspects together to portray these Welsh fairies in the way our ancestors would have imagined them; as powerful beings that should be avoided at all cost.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout Wales, Tylwyth Teg take many forms and their nature and motivations vary. Many locales have a story about a \u2018Lady of the Lake\u2019; beautiful women who would appear near ponds or lakes and marry a local mortal, an arrangement that inevitably ended in tragedy. Bodies of water were once believed to be places where the veil between our world and that of the fairies was at its thinnest and the film subtly references this. Other tales tell of how the Tylwyth Teg would kidnap human children and replace them with Plant Newid, Wales\u2019 answer to the Changeling, a piece of lore integral to the film\u2019s narrative. Our ancestors would also leave out gifts for the Tylwyth Teg (more often as a peace offering) or would adorn their homes with various charms believed to ward off those benevolent tricksters, something else that is represented well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sg-block-quote\">\n<p>Another important bit of lore integral to the plot of Rabbit Trap is the link between the Tylwyth Teg and music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>There are many tales of how the Tylwyth Teg used music to lure people into a trance, such as the story of poor Ned Puw, doomed to play his fiddle for all eternity in the gloomy depths of Tal Clegir Cave. As terrifying as they were, Welsh fairies loved a good party and the ruined state of Pennard Castle on the Gower Peninsula is testament to what happens when humans try to stop them from having a good time. The story goes that the tyrannical lord who once dwelled there denied entrance to a band of fairies who wanted to join his daughter\u2019s wedding party; they responded by conjuring up a sandstorm and engulfing the castle and all those within.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sg-block-quote\">\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first film to introduce Welsh folklore to the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-184902 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-201-300x190.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-201-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-201-768x486.jpg 768w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-201-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-201.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The classic 1985 animated dark fantasy The Black Cauldron borrows heavily from the Mabinogion and was based on a series of books called The Chronicles of Prydain (Prydain being the Welsh word for Britain), which reimagine Welsh mythology with a fresh narrative. The titular cauldron itself is inspired by the Pair Dadeni (Cauldron of Rebirth) from the Second Branch of the Mabinogion, which the Irish used to gain the upper hand in a war against the Welsh.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the more recent eco-horror film Gwledd\/The Feast (2017), in which the character Cadi is portrayed as a Nature Spirit, punishing the family for their desire to harm the land. The popular \u2018Lady of the Lake\u2019 tales I mentioned do indeed end in tragedy, but mostly due to the destructive nature of humans \u2013 sometimes one needs to look inward to find the real monster.\u00a0 Then there\u2019s The Green Knight (2021), which also stars Dev Patel. Loosely based on the epic 14th-century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, it features St. Winifred\u2019s Well (there\u2019s no shortage of holy wells here in Wales) and Cewri (Welsh giants).<\/p>\n<p>References in other films are less obvious and may surprise you, such as Studio Ghibli\u2019s Howl\u2019s Moving Castle (2004). Hayao Miyazaki, one of the studio\u2019s founders, grew an affinity for Wales after falling in love with the landscape, language and architecture following a visit here and he based much of the animation on the sights he had seen here. The titular wizard Howl even speaks a bit of Welsh. The film was based on a book by Diana Wynn Jones, which tells the story of a Welshman who becomes a wizard after visiting a magical land.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sg-block-quote\">\n<p>Rabbit Trap does a great job of bringing the scarier aspects of Welsh folklore to the big screen and proves that stories about Tylwyth Teg aren\u2019t just for children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-185002 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-315-300x192.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-315-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-315-768x491.jpg 768w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-315-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RABBITTRAP_STILLS-315.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Hopefully it will encourage other filmmakers to look to Welsh folklore for inspiration, as there is certainly no shortage of stories to choose from. One of my personal favourites is the tragic tale of doomed lovers Rhys and Meinir, which concerns an old wedding tradition of a game of bridal hide-and-seek that goes terribly wrong. There\u2019s also the legend of Cantref Gwaelod, the \u2018Welsh Atlantis\u2019 that was lost to the sea somewhere off Cardigan Bay thanks to the intoxicated gatekeeper, Seithenyn.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s a whole pantheon of terrifying Welsh monsters, such as the banshee-like Gwrach-y-Rhibyn, a monstrous hag who would appear out of the mist and drain the blood of her victims; the goblin-like Coblynau who terrorised Welsh miners and even followed them to Welsh settlements in America; and the demonic black mastiff Y Gwyllgi with its glowing red eyes, who attacked those foolish enough to travel along lonely country lanes at night. But filmmakers shouldn\u2019t feel restricted to folk horror; just think of the epic fantasies we could adapt from the tales of the Mabinogion; stories of quarrelling dynasties, dragons and powerful wizards.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sg-block-quote\">\n<p>The Welsh have always been great storytellers; hopefully this is the start of a new trend that will allow us to share them with the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/en\/films\/rabbit-trap\/\">Rabbit Trap<\/a> is coming to cinemas across the UK from January 30, 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The film has various connections to Wales including production company Mad as Birds and Merthyr Tydfil actor Jade Croot.

She currently works as a Production Manager overseeing post-production for commercials, and is developing her own slate of short films.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To say that Wales has a connection to music would be an understatement. Music is woven into the history and culture of the Land of Song, from the tradition of choral singing, to the Eisteddfod; to arguably our most famous export, Tom Jones. This influence made its impact on me from the earliest age: we didn\u2019t recite the Lord\u2019s prayer at primary school, we sang it.<\/p>\n<p>When I moved to Sheffield for university, I was struck by the feeling that South Wales and Yorkshire were kindred spirits: both full of towns and cities reimagining themselves in the shadow of 20th-century industrialisation; both regions shaped by a working-class resilience, intertwined with creative energy. With a 2022 study finding that there are now half as many professional creatives from working-class backgrounds in the UK than there were during the 60s and 70s however, it is clear significant inequalities still exist in terms of turning that artistic energy into sustainable careers.<\/p>\n<p>Director Kim Hopkins touches upon some of these themes in her new documentary&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"sg-block-quote\">\n<p><em>Still Pushing Pineapples<\/em>, a film that will resonate with anyone who has spent time in a Welsh working man\u2019s club or a rundown Blackpool ballroom. The film opens on a dark stage; at its centre, a man dressed as a pineapple. It\u2019s an absurd, oddly melancholic image which acts as the perfect precursor to the sweet, funny, poignant film that follows. The distant voice of a <em>Tops of the Pops<\/em> presenter echoes through the film, \u201c\u2026 have you ever wondered who\u2019s in that fruit?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">The man \u2018forever trapped\u2019 inside that pineapple is Dene Michael, one of the former lead vocalists of Black Lace, famous for their 80s novelty records, all of which take second billing to their greatest hit <em>Agadoo<\/em> (\u201cPush pineapple, shake the tree\u201d), (in)famously dubbed \u201cthe worst record of all time.\u201d Now, forty years from the song\u2019s release, Dene finds himself at a perpetual fork in the road: to keep the money coming in from nostalgic club nights where audiences pay to hear him sing the song he\u2019s reported to have sung 45,000 times; or to follow his heart and break free of his legacy, creating a new audience for his own music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-184701 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SPP-web3-300x158.png\" alt=\"Still Pushing Pineapples\" width=\"394\" height=\"208\" \/><\/span>The film is an odyssey of nostalgia; a journey through the sweeping cultural changes that have taken place over four decades, as Dene ferries himself, his 89-year-old mother Anne and his new love Hayley, from once-grand nightclubs in fading seaside towns, to Benidorm, home-away-from-home for many of his life-long fans.<\/p>\n<p>When not on the road, Dene lives a relatively modest existence. A small terraced home in Leeds with splashes of past glamour, most notably the Bentley parked outside. It is a stark reminder of how, for ordinary working-class people, there is no safety net or inheritance to help cushion the fall from stardom. Without that buffer, we see Dene\u2019s constant slog. He tells Hayley he\u2019s got \u201ca little bit of money coming in\u201d: a Christmas lights switch-on; three holiday-season gigs. At one point Hayley tells Dene she\u2019s had no electricity all week. When Dene\u2019s home-made single This Is The Moment fails to chart, it is easy to understand the allure <em>Agadoo<\/em> still has over him.<\/p>\n<p>Nostalgia is a word synonymous with rosy-hued warmth. For Dene however, it\u2019s a double-edged sword, offering him his livelihood but making re-invention almost impossible. What does it do to a person when you are forced to continually play your greatest hits, with nothing from the last thirty years of your life included? What does it mean to grow older and feel as though you still have so much to give but not the opportunities to give it? When Dene\u2019s manager asks him to shave his beard off before a gig, Dene complies without question, frustrating Hayley who continually encourages him to be himself; to live in the present. A fresh-faced Dene Michael \u2013 the one they saw on TV in 1986 \u2013 is what the audience want however. At times it feels as though he has no choice.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-184699 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SPP-web-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Still Pushing Pineapples\" width=\"371\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SPP-web-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SPP-web-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SPP-web-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SPP-web-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It would be understandable that some bitterness might take hold but no matter what hard knocks Dene experiences, he approaches the world with charm, a sense of humour and a warmth that lights up the screen. Supported by the determined Hayley in what becomes a sweet love story, and his gorgeous mum Anne who has an infectiously joyful presence, they become a delightful trio to watch. As much as it may rain, their sunshine shines through.<\/p>\n<p><em>Still Pushing Pineapples<\/em> is a film about legacy and shaping your own destiny. It doesn\u2019t shy away from the sometimes harsh realities of Dene\u2019s life but it\u2019s ultimately a hopeful story about resilience and a deep love of music. As much as he lacked control over his career, Dene has still experienced extraordinary highs.<em> Agadoo<\/em> may be the albatross around his neck, but it turns out, despite the diminishing returns, it is also the safety net that many working-class artists don\u2019t have.<\/p>\n<p>The highs and lows of Dene\u2019s story highlights how vital it is that we continue to create opportunities to support young working-class artists. It is essential, not only to ensure long-lasting careers, but to ensure long-lasting careers on artists\u2019 own terms.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Still-Pushing-Pineapples-Article-Bethan-Tanner.pdf\"><strong>Download full article here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/en\/films\/still-pushing-pineapples\/\"><em>Still Pushing Pineapples<\/em><\/a> is coming to cinemas from November 28, 2025. <\/strong><strong>It received funding from Ffilm Cymru and was co-produced by Welsh producer Nan Davies at One Wave Films.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>This article was commissioned by Film Hub Wales as part of its Made in Wales project, which celebrates films with Welsh connections, thanks to funding from Creative Wales and the National Lottery via the BFI.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published in Buzz Magazine Bethan Tanner worked on Still Pushing Pineapples through the Ffilm Cymru Trainee Producer scheme.
