30 years ago, West Wales became the centre of world news when the tanker, Sea Empress, struck rocks at the entrance of Milford Haven. While bad weather hampered the rescue, 72,000 tonnes of crude oil escaped.

This is the story of the disaster, and subsequent massive effort to clean Pembrokeshire’s beaches. There was also a Goodwick connection!

30 mlynedd yn ôl, daeth Gorllewin Cymru yn ganolbwynt newyddion y byd pan darodd y tancer, y Sea Empress, greigiau wrth fynedfa Aberdaugleddau. Er bod tywydd garw wedi rhwystro’r ymdrech i lanhau, dihangodd 72 mil tunnell o olew crai.

Dyma stori’r drychineb, a’r ymdrech enfawr ddilynol i lanhau traethau Sir Benfro. Roedd cysylltiad ag Wdig hefyd!

Woolf Works

The Royal Ballet

Virginia Woolf defied literary conventions to depict rich inner worlds – her heightened, startling and poignant reality.

Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor leads a luminous artistic team to evoke Woolf’s signature stream of consciousness writing style in this immense work that rejects traditional narrative structures. Woolf Works is a collage of themes from Mrs Dalloway, Orlando, The Waves and Woolf’s other writings.

Created in 2015 for The Royal Ballet, this Olivier-award winning ballet triptych captures the heart of Woolf’s uniquely artistic spirit.

Heriodd Virginia Woolf gonfensiynau llenyddol i ddarlunio bydoedd mewnol cyfoethog - rhai dwys, syfrdanol a thyner.

Mae'r Coreograffydd Preswyl Wayne McGregor yn arwain tîm artistig disglair i ar gyfer y gwaith aruthrol hwn sy'n gwrthod strwythurau naratif traddodiadol. Mae Woolf Works yn gasgliad o themâu o Mrs Dalloway, Orlando, The Waves a gweithiau eraill Woolf.

Wedi'i greu yn 2015 ar gyfer y Royal Ballet, mae'r triptych bale hwn, sydd wedi ennill gwobr Olivier, yn dal calon ysbryd artistig unigryw Woolf.

In the late 1980s, two down-on-their-luck musicians (Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson) form a joyous Neil Diamond tribute band.

Together, they experience soaring success and devastating heartbreak, proving it’s never too late to find love and follow your dreams.

Based on a true story.

Yn niwedd yr 1980au, mae dau gerddor anlwcus (Hugh Jackman a Kate Hudson) yn ffurfio band teyrnged i Neil Diamond.

Gyda'i gilydd, maent yn profi llwyddiant ysgubol a thorcalon dinistriol, gan brofi nad yw byth yn rhy hwyr i ddod o hyd i gariad a dilyn eich breuddwydion.

Yn seiliedig ar stori wir.

As part of WOW Around Wales, the year-round touring programme of WOW Film Festival that brings bold, socially engaged cinema to communities across Wales, we are proud to present The Voice of Hind Rajab, a powerful and urgent cinematic experience that transcends traditional documentary form.

Directed by Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania, The Voice of Hind Rajab bears witness to the killing of six-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab, who was trapped in a car under Israeli military fire in Gaza on January 29, 2024. Through the use of real emergency call recordings and carefully constructed re-enactments based on first-hand testimony and transcripts, the film reconstructs the hours during which Hind remained alive, alone, and pleading for help as Red Crescent dispatchers desperately tried to reach her.

This is a film that demands not only empathy, but attention; a testament to Palestinian lives, to resistance through truth-telling, and to cinema’s power to confront injustice and amplify silenced voices.

An introduction to The Voice of Hind Rajab will be given by Gordon Main (The London Recruits director and friend of the festival).

Languages: English, Arabic with English Subtitles

Fel rhan o WOW Rownd Cymru, rhaglen deithiol Gŵyl Ffilm WOW gydol y flwyddyn sy'n dod â sinema feiddgar, gymdeithasol i gymunedau ledled Cymru, rydym yn falch o gyflwyno The Voice of Hind Rajab, profiad sinematig pwerus sy'n mynd y tu hwnt i ffurf ffilm ddogfen draddodiadol.

Wedi'i gyfarwyddo gan wneuthurwr ffilmiau a enwebwyd am Wobr yr Academi, Kaouther Ben Hania, mae The Voice of Hind Rajab yn tystio i ladd merch chwech oed o Balesteina, Hind Rajab, a oedd yn teithio mewn car a dargedwyd gan filwyr Israel yn Gaza ar Ionawr 29, 2024. Clywir recordiadau galwadau brys go iawn ac eraill wedi eu hail-greu'n ofalus yn seiliedig ar dystiolaeth a thrawsgrifiadau uniongyrchol. Mae'r ffilm yn ail-greu'r oriau pan yr oedd Hind yn fyw, ar ei phen ei hun, ac yn erfyn am gymorth wrth i weithwyr y Cilgant Coch geisio'n daer ei chyrraedd.

Mae hon yn ffilm sy'n mynnu nid yn unig empathi, ond sylw; tystia i fywydau Palesteinaidd, i bwysigrwydd rhannu’r gwir, ac i bŵer sinema i wynebu anghyfiawnder ac i gynnig platform i leisiau tawel.

Bydd cyflwyniad i Llais Hind Rajab yn cael ei roi gan Gordon Main (cyfarwyddwr The London Recruits a ffrind y gwyl).
