Annita Nitsaidou from WOW was able to attend the Independent Cinema Office\u2019s<\/a><\/span> training course in London with help from our training bursary.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This short course from BFI FAN, provided practical steps to help festivals and exhibitors build a sponsorship strategy that can effectively build new financial partnerships. This in-person day was the third part of this course, with the previous two sessions being online.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAttending the Independent Cinema Office\u2019s Developing your Sponsorship Strategy training has shifted how I think about sponsorship: away from \u2018help us fund things\u2019 and towards \u2018join us in making something meaningful happen.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Annita said that through the course she \u201clearned how to clearly articulate WOW\u2019s mission and audience impact in a way that resonates with external partners.\u201d The course provided Annita with structure and guidance when thinking about approaching sponsorship opportunities for WOW festival’s specific rural audience. She came out more confident and strategically minded and is already implementing a new way of thinking surrounding her pitch materials.<\/p>\n

The in-person day also provided Annita with an invaluable opportunity to network with other FAN members across the UK where she shared notes and honest ideas and feedback. Annita said \u201cOverall, I returned to work with a sharper, values-led sponsorship approach that feels both more confident and more accountable to our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over that period, FAN has funded over 1000 audience facing projects in over 1500 locations across the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Activity has included local and specialist film festivals, rural touring schemes, and a diverse range of projects delivered in communities across the UK, including the Cine North initiative which provides access to screen culture in 35 villages across Northern England, the <a href=\"https:\/\/abertoir.co.uk\/\">Abertoir Horror Festival<\/a> in Aberystwyth and the Rainbow Film Festival which screens films by and for the Bangladeshi communities of East London. The BFI FAN Hubs will also continue to provide a talent development offer for early career filmmaking talent in the English regions as part of BFI NETWORK, with details published in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>The 10 strategic partners renewed to manage BFI FAN activity in the nations and English regions are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Film London<\/strong> in London<\/li>\n<li><strong>Broadway in Nottingham<\/strong> in partnership with <strong>Flatpack<\/strong> <strong>in Birmingham<\/strong> in the Midlands<\/li>\n<li><strong>Showroom in Sheffield<\/strong> in partnership with <strong>HOME in Manchester<\/strong> in the North<\/li>\n<li><strong>Queen\u2019s Film Theatre<\/strong> <strong>in Belfast<\/strong> in Northern Ireland<\/li>\n<li><strong>Glasgow Film Theatre<\/strong> in Scotland<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Independent Cinema Office<\/strong> in the South East<\/li>\n<li><strong>Watershed<\/strong> <strong>in Bristol<\/strong> in the South West<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chapter in Cardiff<\/strong> in Wales<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>SPOTLIGHT programme will invest in newly identified culturally underserved areas to improve access to screenings of independent film.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Each BFI FAN hub will continue to deliver the <strong>SPOTLIGHT<\/strong> <strong>programme<\/strong> in newly identified areas across the UK, boosting audience choice and improving access to independent film where there is currently very limited public access to film screenings. The SPOTLIGHT areas set to receive support for 2026-2029 are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Film Hub London:<strong> Redbridge & Enfield<\/strong> (previous SPOTLIGHT area of Barking & Dagenham will also continue for a further year)<\/li>\n<li>Film Hub Midlands: <strong>Ashfield, Bolsover, Chesterfield and Mansfield<\/strong>, in partnership with Flatpack Festival<\/li>\n<li>Film Hub North: <strong>Hull<\/strong>, in partnership with Hull Independent Cinema, plus <strong>Blackburn with Darwen, Rochdale and Oldham<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Film Hub Northern Ireland: <strong>Derry\/Londonderry<\/strong> and surrounds, in partnership with Nerve Centre<\/li>\n<li>Film Hub Scotland: <strong>Fife & Clackmannanshire<\/strong>, in partnership with OnFife<\/li>\n<li>Film Hub South East: <strong>Luton<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Film Hub South West: <strong>Cornwall with a focus on the East, North and Camborne<\/strong>, in partnership with Creative Kernow<\/li>\n<li>Film Hub Wales: <strong>South West Wales<\/strong>, in partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowfilmfestival.com\/\">WOW Wales on World Film Festival<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This hyper-local approach to audience development was initiated in 2023 and creates new opportunities for communities to enjoy access to screen culture where previously there was little or none. The programme has facilitated the development of several new community cinemas, including Sinema Llangoed on The Isle of Anglesey\/ Ynys M\u00f4n, and supported the launch of new festivals, such as the Peterborough Bengali Film Festival. The recent PictureEast and Elgin Film Festivals showcased the work of Spotlight partners in Newham, Barking & Dagenham, and Moray Firth respectively and are intended to provide a future legacy for audiences.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to delivering SPOTLIGHT, FAN will continue to <strong>invest in local exhibitors<\/strong> and deliver <strong>professional development opportunities<\/strong> to its members. Over \u00a33.3m of National Lottery funding has been ringfenced over 3 years for Hubs to support a wide range of audience facing exhibition activity across the UK and many of these opportunities are now open via individual Hub websites. FAN will also be offering courses on marketing, audience development, programming, and technical skills to support skills development across the FAN membership. The second edition of the UK-wide exhibitor conference, <strong>BFI FAN CON<\/strong>, will take place at Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle, from 7-9 September, aimed at connecting the full spectrum of film exhibitors – from small community cinemas and touring collectives to large multi-screen independent cinemas and landmark film festivals. Offering networking opportunities and panel discussions with sector experts, the conference provides an opportunity to discover fresh ideas for reaching and engaging audiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben Luxford, Director of UK Audiences at the BFI, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"sg-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cWith the 20% increase in investment in audiences for 2026-2029, we are committed to building cinema audiences and securing a sustainable, vibrant future for the sector. Our UK-wide audience development strategy is three-fold to ensure maximum public benefit: The BFI Film Audience Network to deliver funding and leadership at a local level; the BFI Audience Projects Fund to enable events of national scale; and ESCAPES which ensures there is a regular, accessible offer for the public that also helps us respond to our industry\u2019s need to grow new audiences for independent film. As always this funding is delivered in partnership with organisations committed to audience development across the UK and we\u2019re continually grateful to them for their continued energy and engagement. See you at the cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Continuing to support this UK-wide structure also responds to a consistent message heard throughout the extensive consultation with public and industry undertaken to develop the strategy: that every part of the country has a different set of needs, opportunities and challenges around screen culture, and local organisations are best placed to respond to these. Further UK-wide partners will be announced in the coming weeks, as recipients of National Lottery funding to support skills and education activity which will complement this work. Alongside BFI FAN, support of the exhibition and distribution sector is available via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bfi.org.uk\/get-funding-support\/bring-film-wider-audience\/bfi-national-lottery-audience-projects-fund\">BFI National Lottery Audience Projects Fund<\/a> which is currently open for applications.<\/p>\n<p>A collaboration of ten leading venues or film organisations representing the UK nations and regions, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bfi-fan.org.uk\/\"><strong>BFI Film Audience Network<\/strong><\/a> supports a stronger and more connected approach to growing audiences for UK and international film on the big screen.

The next year is also gearing up to be exciting, kicking off with the January release of the beautiful H is for Hawk, alongside the true story of the 5th Marquess of Anglesey, Henry Paget, in Madfabulous and the first Welsh-language feature film Effi o Blaenau co-funded by Creative Wales and S4C, which is currently finalising a festival run. Creative Wales is committed to giving this growing sector the vital support it needs to continue to thrive, through funding and connecting creatives within the industry with programmes to ensure Welsh films are given a platform to be enjoyed by audiences within Wales and around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Also due in 2026 are various place-based films that give audiences insight into life in Wales. We have not one but three titles centred around Ynys M\u00f4n (Anglesey). Firstly, On the Sea, which follows Jack and his family as they hand rake the mussel beds. In this remote, rural community where life revolves around Church and fishery, Jack falls in love with itinerant deckhand Daniel. We also have the highly anticipated Madfabulous from North Wales production company Mad as Birds. The film depicts the life of the wonderfully eccentric 5th Marquess Henry Cyril Paget. Filmed on location on Ynys M\u00f4n, as well as Caernarfon and Pwllheli, the film stars Welsh actor Callum Scott Howells alongside Rupert Everett and Siobh\u00e1n McSweeney. It\u2019s directed by Ynys M\u00f4n\u2019s own Celyn Jones. Finally, Ynys M\u00f4n-shot thriller Black Church Bay from Welsh\/Irish director Rhys Marc Jones, starring Welsh actor Tom Cullen. A respected teacher\u2019s life unravels in a remote coastal village, when the sixth form student he\u2019s in a secret relationship with, disappears.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Actor and Director Celyn Jones, who was involved in all three productions, celebrates this moment for Ynys M\u00f4n on screen:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"sg-block-quote\">\n<p>Three films – all Anglesey-based and all different and all intended for the big screen. From Helen Walsh’s gorgeous and moving drama (On the Sea) about love in all its forbidden and celebrated shapes, to the scale, beauty, emotion and heartbreak of my love letter to home (Madfabulous) and the darkly tragic and vital script of Black Church Bay. It\u2019s about moments where people come together to make something. It\u2019s about the human connection in the endeavour of filmmaking. It\u2019s a viable industry that has places for all who want in and we have a seat at that table… Anglesey has a seat! That’s why I will never stop cheering and hustling and making work that has Ynys M\u00f4n written through the centre like a stick of rock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Heading over to Blaenau Ffestiniog, we meet Effi o Blaenau. Featuring Leisa Gwenllian in the title role and directed by Marc Evans (Mr Burton), this is a big screen adaptation of Gary Owen\u2019s modern Welsh classic play Iphigenia in Splott. Grappling with her weekly loop of unemployment, clubbing and hangovers, Effi has a chance encounter in a Llandudno nightclub with injured soldier Lee, briefly opening a door to something better. For a moment, Effi glimpses a life she never imagined. The reality that follows is far tougher.<\/p>\n<p>For the environmental horror fans out there, we have Welsh director Craig Roberts\u2019 highly anticipated The Scurry. Filmed at Dragon Studios in Bridgend, starring Rhys Ifans and Ella Purnell, it\u2019s the story of two pest controllers who encounter an avalanche of deranged squirrels, wreaking revenge on the staff and visitors at an eco-country park. For those who like their frightful films more melodic, there\u2019s Stuffed, an original new musical-horror-romance shot in South Wales starring Jodie Comer as a brooding taxidermist whose secret ambition is to stuff a human specimen. On a more mythical Welsh folklore horror front, we have Rabbit Trap, released on January 30th. Set in the 1970s, it follows a married couple (Dev Patel and Rosy McEwen) who relocate to an isolated Welsh cabin where they accidentally disturb a\u202fTylwyth Teg\u202ffairy ring and are visited by a mysterious child who appears to have ill intentions for them.<\/p>\n<p>For a family-orientated cinema trip, Out There promises to be a feel-good, comedy, sci-fi as 16-year-old amateur astronomer Maz spots a UFO over her sleepy Welsh seaside town. Dragging along her sceptical best friend Cari, as well as Michael Sheen\u2019s unhinged ufologist, Maz uncovers a truth she\u2019s not prepared to face. Learning to Breathe Underwater is a new comedy drama, co-produced by Cardiff-based One Wave Films (Still Pushing Pineapples), about eight-year-old daydreamer Leo who lives with his eccentric artist father. Leo\u2019s life is suddenly changed overnight however by the arrival of Anya, a spirited Bulgarian au pair.<\/p>\n<p>For documentary lovers, 2026 promises fascinating factual stories from two prominent Welsh producers. Smoking Shores, from Truth Department\u2019s Dewi Gregory and executive producer Michael Sheen, explores one of the UK\u2019s last great steelworks in Port Talbot via a group of local surfers, raising themes of deindustrialisation, decarbonisation and mental health, as well as our symbiotic relationship to nature. Meanwhile, Welsh producer Rob Alexander follows disabled actor\/writer David Proud in Proud. He longs for a family, but the fertility techniques he needs to access are designed to engineer \u201chealthy children\u201d and screen out disabled people like him.\u202fWhat does this mean for people like David, potentially facing their own \u2018extinction?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>With even more titles to come, such as a punk exploration of the psyche in the thrilling Mission, to a battle against evil for a new mother in Unspeakable, there\u2019s plenty to choose from.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hana Lewis, Head of Film Hub Wales explains why Film Hub Wales\u2019 Made in Wales project supports releases such as these:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"sg-block-quote\">\n<p>We know that it\u2019s important to Welsh cinemas and their audiences to be able to connect with stories that reflect their lives, their communities and their language, as well as films from Welsh storytellers that bring the international world to their doorsteps in Wales. Our aim is to help those stories to reach people, ideally in a collective cinema setting, ensuring that once a film is made, it\u2019s also seen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Film Hub Wales\u2019 Made in Wales (MIW) project celebrates films with Welsh connections.

United by their emotion driven plots, vivid visual language and self-conscious audience manipulation, these films are designed to make you break down in tears, cause a scene, fall in love, feel something. Presented by the BFI at BFI Southbank and BFI IMAX and by the BFI Film Audience Network (BFI FAN) using funds from the National Lottery at cinemas and venues across the UK, TOO MUCH will take place from <strong>October- December 2025<\/strong> via programmes of special events, talks and screenings. TOO MUCH will also be available UK-wide online via a curated collection of films available to stream on demand on BFI Player.<\/p>\n<p>The season will explore the world of melodrama through the ages, with films ranging from cult classics to lesser-known international gems. Melodrama is steeped in contradiction. Swooningly romantic, people fall in love at first sight, sacrifice their lives in acts of devotion, find one another across space and time. Simultaneously they are grounded in the trappings of reality: rigid class boundaries, threat of punishment, and fear of scandal loom at every corner. The characters in these films are culturally diverse, from different generations and social backgrounds, but endlessly human and relatable. Their stories shed light on injustice and oppression.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_182783\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-182783\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-182783 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Melodrama-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Image credit All That Heaven Allows.

Dir – Douglas Sirk. Courtesy of Park Circus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Whilst expansive in its reach and impact across all genres of cinema, melodrama has long been associated with its rare embrace of women\u2019s inner lives and concerns. This expansive drama is employed to express longing, rage and desire in characters facing motherhood, infidelity, exploitation and scandal. The legacy of early \u2018women\u2019s pictures\u2019, created for female audiences with their favourite female stars, echoes across generations and around the world. As in life, these women do not always triumph. Imperfectly feminist yet endlessly empathetic, their sensationalist struggles carry searing social commentary beneath the glossy veneer of attention-grabbing colours, lurid plotlines and sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>Accessible but ripe for dissection and reappraisal, while melodrama may lack the recognition of a genre like horror or action, TOO MUCH aims to illuminate melodrama as a key cinematic form, banish the stigma attached to the term, and spotlight how it has created masterpieces of world cinema.<\/p>\n<p>From the early days of cinema and the evolution of the \u2018women\u2019s pictures\u2019 of the 1930s and female film stars such as Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck and Claudette Colbert, cult classics and underseen gems, through to work from some of contemporary cinema\u2019s biggest names such as Todd Haynes FAR FROM HEAVEN (2002), Pedro Almod\u00f3var VOLVER (2006), Lars von Trier BREAKING THE WAVES (1996) as well as masterpieces of world cinema. The season will feature screenings of 7 TH HEAVEN (1927, Frank Borzage), IMITATION OF LIFE (1934, John M. Stahl), STELLA DALLAS (1937, King Vidor), NOW VOYAGER (1942, Irving Rapper) BRIEF ENCOUNTER (1945, David Lean), THE LIFE OF OHARU (1952, Kenji Mizoguchi) \u00c9L (1953, Luis Bu\u00f1uel), JOHNNY GUITAR (1954, Nicholas Ray), LOLA MONTES (1955, Max Oph\u00fcls), STELLA (1955, Michael Cacoyannis) THE CLOUD-CAPPED STAR (1960, Ritwik Ghatak) THE ARCH (1968, T\u2019ang Tsu Shuen), THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT (1972, Rainer Werner Fassbinder), THE SILENCES OF THE PALACE (1994, Moufida Tatli) and many more.<\/p>\n<p>A centrepiece of TOO MUCH will be Douglas Sirk\u2019s colourful, high-octane love story ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS (1955) which will return to cinemas UK-wide on 24 October, courtesy of Park Circus. Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson entrance as the star-crossed lovers at the centre of Sirk\u2019s transgressive, saturated portrait of 1950s Eisenhower-era Americana, class friction and moral values.<\/p>\n<p>Ruby McGuigan, BFI Programme Development Manager and TOO MUCH BFI Southbank season curator, said:<\/p>\n<div class=\"sg-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cA story\u2019s emotional heart is what brings us back to it time and time again and allows it to translate across generations and cultures. Melodrama \u2013 an embrace of emotion above all \u2013 is the lifeblood of great cinema, across decades and geographic borders. Melodrama has always revelled in the squashing of emotions too volatile for everyday life, and the inevitable explosion under pressure. As a young woman discovering these films, I felt understood. Perhaps I wasn\u2019t insane, or \u2018too much\u2019. Perhaps life is just overwhelming sometimes. In recent years we\u2019ve finally seeing women\u2019s emotional worlds take centre stage in literature, music and television \u2013 there\u2019s a legacy of this in cinema which I believe is often overlooked. I\u2019m so excited to share and discuss with audiences how these films make us feel today, and how these bold stories of melodrama\u2019s heroines have driven some of world cinema\u2019s timeless masterpieces. Don\u2019t forget to pack your tissues.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The season will be programmed around key themes, Love featuring star-crossed lovers, sacrificial acts of devotion, connections across space and time and melodrama as romance incarnate, Obsession brimming with tales of unrequited love, impossible desires and toxic jealousy, Duty stories of maternal sacrifice, marital constraints and dreams denied simmering beneath the serene surface of family life. Defiance showcasing rebellion in all its forms, both righteous and frivolous, regardless of the consequences, Scandal featuring tales of melodrama\u2019s tragic heroines, who fall victim to its judgmental gaze. Melodrama\u2019s most expressionistic, sumptuous films will also screen at BFI IMAX.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The full UK-wide line-up of screenings, events and touring programmes will be announced soon via <a href=\"http:\/\/bfi.org.uk\/too-much\">bfi.org.uk\/too-much<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_183986\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-183986\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-183986 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Volver-2006-Images-Courtesy-of-Park-Circus-Pathe-2-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Volver-2006-Images-Courtesy-of-Park-Circus-Pathe-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Volver-2006-Images-Courtesy-of-Park-Circus-Pathe-2-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Volver-2006-Images-Courtesy-of-Park-Circus-Pathe-2-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Volver-2006-Images-Courtesy-of-Park-Circus-Pathe-2.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-183986\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volver 2006 – Images Courtesy of Park Circus + Pathe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>BFI Southbank will play host to a major season from 20 October \u2013 30 December, focusing on the strong cross cultural appeal of melodrama, including titles from Greece, Egypt, China, Hong Kong, Japan, India, Tunisia, Italy, Spain, Germany, Denmark, Mexico, Argentina, Russia curated under the five thematic pillars of Love, Obsession, Duty, Defiance and Scandal.

Well, we\u2019re glad you asked! The great thing about them is that they\u2019re usually run by volunteers who love film. So, if you do too, you\u2019re going to meet a lot of likeminded people and hopefully make some friends while you\u2019re at it. They often have top facilities, from screen to sound, to make your experience the best it can be.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\" data-contrast=\"auto\">Take Dinas Powys Community Cinema in Murchfield for example. They screen on the second Saturday of every month and have invested regularly in their facilities from a <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\" data-contrast=\"auto\">fixed retractable screen, to ceiling-mounted projector, new control box with two Blu-ray\/DVD players, acoustic ceiling panels to eliminate the echo, blackout blinds, and an improved speaker system!

Akulah Agbami from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shebasoulensemble.org\/\">Sheba Soul Ensemble<\/a> wanted to attend the 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sff.org.au\/\">Sydney Film Festival<\/a> to explore films and open new dialogues and awarenesses with indigenous Australian and Maori women film-makers whose films aren’t very accessible outside of Australia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sg-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cGeographical barriers are clear as many of these filmmakers (travelling to SXSW from all over the world) will not have considered submitting their work to a Welsh (or perhaps even a European) festival previously, therefore meeting someone such as myself, to explain the benefits can set them at ease.\u201d – Rob<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1097782200?badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe>Working on behalf of FOCUS Festival, Rob felt his time at SXSW was extremely valuable to grow his network as well as speaking to filmmakers to \u201cconvince them of the benefits of submitting their work to a Welsh festival.\u201d<span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"> Attending the premier of Timestalker also gave Rob an insight into the appetite for Welsh film overseas, providing ideas on how to connect with international audiences. Rob feels his attendance at SXSW resulted in a marked increase in US submissions to FOCUS Wales 2025. “Additionally I managed to meet with key people at the festival to kickstart conversations around how to continue the work and increase ties further.”<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_183694\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-183694\" style=\"width: 149px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-183694 \" src=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250604_185012-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"149\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250604_185012-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250604_185012-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250604_185012-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/20250604_185012-rotated.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 149px) 100vw, 149px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-183694\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sydney Film Festival Screening<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #212529; font-size: 1rem; font-weight: 400; text-align: left;\">Akulah, who is the Director at Sheba Soul Ensemble, who have hosted intimate and inclusive events to celebrate Black women’s film history on screen, wanted to find out how to source films from indigenous Australian and Maori women film-makers.\u00a0 Akulah noted that no First Nations people attended any of the screenings and found the event still has some work to do to represent this community. With this in mind, she still came away incredibly inspired, and delighted to access several brilliant films by Black women directors, managing to watch 11 films and one short with one animation that she hopes to bring to Wales that will appeal to 16-25s and an older queer audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sg-block-quote\">\n<p>“The first time I had the \u2018banquet buffet\u2019 film festival experience was whilst working in Sydney for a year after university… But so many things I had forgotten.

Now these come in different shapes and sizes. Some are mixed arts centres offering multi-disciplinary programmes, others are full time independent or commercial cinemas that specialise in film and some have occasional programmes.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019ve not even got to the community screens yet; there are many more of these to mention (and we\u2019ll come back to that in our next blog) but today we\u2019re expressly talking theatrical.<\/p>\n<p>So, where to begin. Let\u2019s start by explaining that it\u2019s our job at Film Hub Wales to support Welsh cinemas to bring the best UK independent and international films to Welsh communities year-round. We fund, train and advise film exhibitors, offering support where needed. We know a film won\u2019t be seen just because it\u2019s good enough and that\u2019s where cinemas come in. Their job is to think about the audience. Who would enjoy this film, how can they be reached and what impact could the film have on local people.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sg-block-quote\">\n<p>Welsh cinemas are known for being at the heart of their communities, their eclectic buildings and rich histories. They generally offer much more than movies alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37510\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37510\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-37510 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Magic-Lantern-Covid-32-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37510\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Magic Lantern Cinema<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Take the Magic Lantern Cinema in Tywyn, Mid-West Wales, for instance. Having first screened a silent news reel in 1900 as the town\u2019s Assembly Room, the building has evolved into a much-loved, unique, full-time cinema with house band, secret garden, and cocktail bar. Not only that – they also lead events in the rural community such as opening on Christmas day for local people living alone and create employment opportunities for young people in the town (we\u2019re told their team love it so much, they often don\u2019t want to leave!).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3063\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3063\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3063 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/CellB-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Film Hub Wales Member - CellB\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/CellB-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/CellB-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/CellB.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3063\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CellB<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On to the North West of Wales, if you find yourself in Blaenau Ffestiniog, you have to pay a visit to CellB.

Led by Gwallgofiaid, a not-for-profit social enterprise that provides creative training for young people, the site has a hostel, regular gigs and a wood fired pizza oven..<\/p>\n<p>Over in the North East of Wales, we have to mention the impressive renovations at Theatr Clwyd, known as the largest touring theatre provider in Wales. You\u2019ll want to hang out and take in the panoramic views of the town from their new glass-front building, visit their restaurant run by acclaimed chef Bryn Williams and of course, watch a film in their purpose-built cinema opening from July 2025.<\/p>\n<p>We could keep going with this all day… If you\u2019re in South Wales a cinema you can\u2019t miss is The Savoy Theatre in Monmouth.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21433\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21433\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21433\" src=\"https:\/\/filmhubwales.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Credit-David-Broadbent-Photography-3-300x203.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Credit-David-Broadbent-Photography-3-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Credit-David-Broadbent-Photography-3-1024x694.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Credit-David-Broadbent-Photography-3-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/canolfanffilmcymru.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Credit-David-Broadbent-Photography-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21433\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Savoy Theatre, Monmouth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The oldest working theatre site in Wales, this beautiful grade 2 listed building looks like the cinema that dreams are made of..

Rhiwbina Community Cinema – a not for profit, volunteer led cinema – was born. It was named Monico Movies as a tribute to the much missed local cinema \u2018The Monico\u2019 which opened in Rhiwbina in 1936 and closed in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>Monico Movies started from scratch with no equipment. However, screening films was initially made possible through the loan of equipment from Film Hub Wales and, after the first year as a community cinema group, funding was secured from the Big Lottery to buy a projector and screen.<\/p>\n<p>Monico Movies hosted its first screening, The Grand Budapest Hotel, in October 2015 at Canolfan Beulah. Since then, shows have been held on the 2nd Saturday of each month for ten years. More than 200 films have been screened, attracting a loyal audience, with up to 80 people attending<br \/>\neach month. Five local shops – Serenade, Victoria Fearn Gallery, Ginger Whites, Deri Stores and the Honey Pot \u2013 have also supported Monico Movies, by selling tickets. This continued support by the audience and ticket outlets has ensured the community cinema\u2019s ongoing success.<\/p>\n<p>In volunteering to plan and host an annual film programme, the dedicated crew have contributed time and skills, including web and poster design, social media publicity, film research, administration and projection. The volunteer group curated a varied programme across a range of different film genres. These included world cinema, independent films, old favourites, forgotten classics and new releases. One memorable highlight was screening Buster Keaton\u2019s silent movie, The General, with live piano accompaniment. Monico Movies has also been proud to showcase local film makers.<\/p>\n<p>Monico Movies revived the tradition of a regular, local cinema experience for the community in Rhiwbina. Having achieved the milestone of 10 years, the group members have decided the time is right to retire – to hang up the film reels, put away the usherette\u2019s tray and dim the lights one last time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The final Monico Movies show will take place at 7.30pm on Saturday 12th July 2025, when the Welsh made film \u2018Mr Burton\u2019, about the early life of actor Richard Burton, will be screened and the audience of Monico Movies will celebrate their love of cinema one last time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact:<a href=\"mailto:harleyjones@me.com\"> Harley Jones<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 10 hugely successful years, the final curtain will soon fall on much loved community cinema Monico Movies.
