No Other Land is the directorial debut of this Palestinian/Israeli collective who worked together from 2019 to 2023 to produce this deeply affecting documentary about the forced displacement of Basel Adra’s community in Masafer Yatta, a region of the occupied West Bank.

No Other Land won the Oscar for Best Documentary at the 97th Academy Awards. At the ceremony Yuval Abraham said “We made this film, Palestinians and Israelis, because together our voices are stronger”. The significance of this film is not just that it exposes the realities of Palestinian lives but also that it provides a small glimpse of how solidarity can be forged.

'No Other Land' yw ymddangosiad cyfarwyddol y grŵp Palestina/Israelaidd hwn a weithiodd gyda’i gilydd rhwng 2019 a 2023 i gynhyrchu’r rhaglen ddogfen hynod effaith hon am ddadleoli gorfodol cymuned Basel Adra yn Masafer Yatta, rhanbarth o’r Lan Orllewinol dan feddiant.

Enillodd No Other Land yr Oscar am y Rhaglen Ddogfen Orau yn 97ain Gwobrau'r Academi. Yn y seremoni dywedodd Yuval Abraham “Fe wnaethon ni’r ffilm hon, Palestiniaid ac Israeliaid, oherwydd gyda’n gilydd mae ein lleisiau yn gryfach”. Arwyddocâd y ffilm hon yw nid yn unig ei bod yn datgelu gwirioneddau bywydau Palestina ond hefyd ei bod yn rhoi cipolwg bach ar sut y gellir meithrin undod.

On a stormy night, fate brings two strangers together, unleashing a love with the power to end worlds. Meanwhile, in the realm of the gods, an epic battle ensues between their ruler Wotan and his rebellious daughter, Brünnhilde.

Cynefin and Alaw - Fishguard Folk Festival

Cynefin (pronounced ‘kuh-neh-vin’) is the brainchild of Welsh folk singer, researcher and cultural historian Owen Shiers.

The project’s acclaimed debut album Dilyn Afon (2020), marked the culmination of three years’ research mapping long forgotten and neglected folk songs of his native Ceredigion. The Guardian hailed Shiers as ‘a stunning new talent’ and Songlines dubbed it “beguiling…a distinct debut”. Nominations for Welsh Language Album of the Year 2020 and three nominations in the 2023 Wales Folk Awards followed.

The second album Shimli (2025), is rooted firmly in the customs and cultural vernacular of the area.

Drawing inspiration from living oral history and folk song-poet tradition. Owen says it’s: “a personal dispatch from the struggle to preserve a language, culture and way of life,” adding, “the album is a musical petition – a stake in the ground for the diverse and the disappearing in our age of homogenisation and mass amnesia.”

Award-winning Celtic Welsh folk outfit Alaw has a reputation for bringing together a trio of top musical talents. This new and exciting incarnation of Alaw has founding member Dylan Fowler on guitar, singer Nia Lynn and fiddle player Patrick Rimes.

The band’s sound has evolved with new material alongside fresh takes on Alaw’s classic repertoire. Soloist, composer and arranger, Dylan Fowler has collaborated with musicians across the world during 30 years on the professional music scene and has released two solo CDs on the Acoustic Music Records label.

Nia Lynn (Yr Hwntas) is a singer, folk and jazz specialist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. And Patrick Rimes (Calan, VRï) one of the most familiar faces on the Welsh music scene. An accomplished composer, and arranger, he is a trained viola player and can regularly be found playing traditional fiddle and pipes in folk line-ups performing internationally.

Mahin (Lily Farhadpour) is a lonely 70-year-old widow whose daughter lives thousands of miles away in Europe. She risks unwelcome interest from both neighbours and the morality police as she determines to shake up her mundane existence and revitalise her love life.  A chance encounter leads to an unforgettable evening in this charming, thought-provoking and quietly subversive drama from Iran.  

My Favourite Cake is a tragicomedy and romantic drama film co-written and directed by Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha, and starring Lily Farhadpour and Esmail Mehrabi.
