Anda UnionThe brilliant nine-piece band Anda Union from Inner Mongolia first toured the UK in 2013 and stole the show everywhere. The band members all grew up in families ‘with the music’, several of whom still live in the traditional Mongolian way, and came together at music college in Hohhot, their capital city. There they were able to integrate traditional forms - like the now-famous throat singing - into creating a sound uniquely and mysteriously Mongolian but with a strong appeal to a western sensibility. A rare opportunity to hear live the music of Mongolia.

“Anda Union are brilliant, I rate their gig at Lakeside as one of my highlights over the years, it was amazing. We’d love to have them back” NOTTINGHAM LAKESIDE ARTS CENTRE

“I would love to have them back - they were fantastic!” HALIFAX SQUARE CHAPEL

“The feedback for Anda Union has been truly wonderful. We would be delighted to welcome them back to the hall again.” BRISTOL ST GEORGE’S

Torch Theatre Company

GravIn October 2007 Ray Gravell, a man who for many embodied what it is to be Welsh, passed away after succumbing to complications resulting from contracting diabetes. He was 56 years old.

Known to millions for his legendary exploits on the rugby field, ‘Grav’ was and is so much more than that. An actor, a cultural icon, a father, a husband, a man with a life packed full of stories that deserve to be heard once more.

The Torch Theatre Company presents Gareth Bale as ‘Grav’ in a play written by Owen Thomas that celebrates the man and the legend. With the blessing of Mari, Ray’s widow, and contributions from his Welsh and British Lions team mates, this one man show will explore the life of a man who was as fascinating away from the rugby field as he was on it.

Directed by the Torch Theatre’s Artistic Director Peter Doran, ‘Grav’ will remind the world once more of a unique life well lived and of a man who did so much more than eat soft centres.

Tentacle Tribe & Karol Cysewski

Pixelated Squid and the UniverseWeird science meets hip-hop in a dance double bill that is out of this world…

In an evening of dance, comedy and extremes this double bill takes audiences on a journey from the bottom of the sea to the far reaches of the universe.

Swedish/Canadian B-boy and B-girl duo Emmanuelle Lê Phan and Elon Höglund aka Tentacle Tribe, bring their production Nobody Likes a Pixelated Squid to Wales in a performance inspired by creatures of land and sea. These dynamic street-dancers have sold out all over the world and their celebrated creature feature makes one half of this thrilling, fun and enlightening evening of dance.

The Wonder of the Universe from Wales’ Karol Cysewski is another kettle of fish (a pre-historic fish) offering a humorous and stimulating interpretation of the documentary of the same title. Three geeks and a celebrity scientist (voice over by Brian Cox) take an imaginative look at the origins of the universe.

Both performances will make you think, laugh and look at the world in a different way. From tiny creatures of the sea and sky, some downright fishy things that make us human, to all the wonders of the universe.

Mr & Mrs Clark

Smash It Up!Performers: Gareth Clark, Steven George Jones, Marega PalserChoreography: Catherine Bennett Design: Becky Kemp-Davies

In your hometown a symbol of equality, justice and freedom has been destroyed; a piece of art that stood for everything you know to be right. Its destruction makes way for a privately guarded shopping centre.

In collaboration with Newport art activists Bosch and with the guidance of artist Andre Stitt, Mr and Mrs Clark developed a timeline of performances in public spaces that now make up a theatre show. They call it Smash It Up.

Short-listed for the Amnesty Freedom of Expression Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Smash It Up is a destructive plea for some cultural conservationism. It is a challenging demand for equality, for hope and for greater creative freedom and beyond all for an understanding and nurturing of the creative imagination.

The Glass MenagerieBy Tennessee Williams“When you look at a piece of delicately spun glass you think of two things: how beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken.” TENNESSEE WILLIAMS

An absent father, a domineering mother, a daughter lost in a world of her own and a son intent on leaving – a family struggling to survive on hopes and dreams.

Abandoned by her husband, Amanda Wingfield lives for her children and wants only what’s best for them. Her son, Tom, longs to escape from his domineering mother but stays for the sake of his sister, Laura. Desperate to find a husband for her shy and withdrawn daughter, Amanda enlists Tom’s help. But will the arrival of the long-awaited “gentleman caller” fulfil or shatter the family’s fragile dreams?

Theatr Pena’s imaginative new production promises to bring something fresh to this timeless American classic by one of the greatest 20th century playwrights.

The Glass Menagerie is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Services, Inc. on behalf of The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee. Supported by the Welsh Government and the Arts Council of Wales through the National Performing Arts Touring Scheme

Under Milk Wood (15)Dir: Kevin Allen UK 2014 1hr 27mins Rhys Ifans, Charlotte Church, Gareth Edwards, Sharon Morgan

Kevin Allen’s Under Milk Wood is the first cinema production of Dylan Thomas’ brilliant, haunting radio play since Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s 1972 film.

Adapted by T. James Jones, with a screenplay written by Murray Lachlan Young, Michael Breen and Kevin Allen, Dan y Wenallt veers away from the traditional, literal reflection of Thomas’ original work and instead explores some of the more visceral elements of the funny, filthily fluid and magical dreamscape of the work whilst staying faithful to Dylan Thomas’s original text.

The Welsh language version of this film is the UK submission Best Foreign Language Film for the 2016 Academy Awards.

National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales preserves and celebrates the sound and moving image heritage of Wales, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Its film collection reflects every aspect of the nation’s social, cultural and working life across the 20th century.

Hector (15)Dir: Jake Gavin UK 2015 1hr 27mins Peter Mullan, Keith Allen, Natalie Gavin, Sharon Rooney

An authentic account of homelessness within contemporary Britain, Hec McAdam is at once a powerful character study and an insight into the lives of those on the margins. The film takes a warm but unflinching look at the realities of homelessness on the move, through a tale of alienation and heartwarming reconciliation.

Peter Mullan’s masterful performance brings us face to face with the stark reality that the only difference between you, me, and a man like Hec McAdam, is a mere twist of fate.“Photographer-turned-director Jake Gavin brings maturity and warmth to his debut feature.” EYEFORFILM

As the approaching war brings the modern world to bear on the rural community, Chris must endure against the hardships of rural Scottish life and draw strength from this ancient land.“Deyn, in the best role of her burgeoning career, has the right mix of tenderness and tenacity to make Chris feel real in a world that often doesn’t.” THE GUARDIAN

Taxi Tehran (12A)Dir: Jafar Panahi Iran 2015 1hr 22mins, with subtitles

The film is mostly set and entirely shot from inside a car: a taxi of sorts, with the director, Panahi playing himself as an affable amateur cabbie. After giving rides around Tehran to a motley array of passengers, he finally collects his niece, a sassy youngster making a little movie herself for school. Cue a discussion of how film should represent reality (or not). Despite its concern with ethics, aesthetics and politics, the film oozes disarming charm and mischievous wit, slyly reminding us that cinema, for better or worse, always trades in illusion.“... Panahi has made a work of invention and brio that remains visually lively throughout, despite its formal restrictions.” THE GUARDIAN

TUESDAY 2 February 5pm & 7.30pm

Brooklyn (12A)Dir: John Crowley Ireland/UK/Canada 2015 1hr 51mins Saoirse Ronan, Domhnall Gleeson, Julie Walters

An Irish immigrant lands in 1950s New York, where she quickly falls into a new romance with a tough Italian plumber. When her past catches up with her, however, she must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within.“A robust romantic drama, rich in history and full of emotion, “Brooklyn” fills a niche in which the studios once specialized..” VARIETY

“With her luminous lead performance, Saoirse Ronan is the heart and point of this film.” THE GUARDIAN

Joy defies genre to tell a story of family, loyalty, and love.

Ice and the Sky (U)Dir: Luc Jacquet France 2015 1hr 29mins French with subtitles

Ice and the Sky is a documentary film by Luc Jacquet about the work of Claude Lorius, who began studying Antarctic ice in 1957, and, in 1965, was the first scientist to be concerned about global warming.“Ice and the Sky ends with a direct challenge to the viewer: “Now that you know, what are you going to do?” What, indeed. This is a powerful testament, and one that ought to have a considerable impact.” THE GUARDIAN


WEDNESDAY 2 March 4.30 & 7.30pm

Carol (15)Dir: Todd Haynes UK/USA/France 2015 1hr 59mins Rooney Mara, Cate Blanchett, Kyle Chandler, Sarah Paulson

Based on Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Price of Salt, Carol follows two women from very different backgrounds who find themselves in an unexpected love affair in 1950s New York. As conventional norms of the time challenge their undeniable attraction, an honest story emerges to reveal the resilience of the heart in the face of change. “...a creamily sensuous, richly observed piece of work, handsomely detailed and furnished: the clothes, the hair, the automobiles, the train carriages, the record players, the lipstick and the cigarettes are all superbly presented. The combination of all this is intoxicating in itself.” THE GUARDIAN

TUESDAY 1 March 7.30pm

In the Heart of the Sea 3D (12A) Dir: Ron Howard USA 2015 2hrs 2mins Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, Cillian Murphy, Brendan Gleeson

In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story. The film reveals the encounter’s harrowing aftermath, as the ship’s surviving crew is pushed to their limits, as their captain searches for direction on the open sea and his first mate still seeks to bring the great whale down.

A cowboy working the rodeos of Brazil, Iremar knows there’s more to life than his daily routine of bulls, dust and macho posturing. What he really likes doing is making glamorous dresses for his boss Galega. Beautifully shot to capture the rhythms of Iremar’s life, Neon Bull overflows with vitality and sly humour. This beguiling, visually ravishing tale of sequins and sawdust, upends conventional thinking about masculinity, sexuality, class and creativity.Winner Venice Horizons Award - Special Jury Prize Venice Film Festival 2015

Lamb (PG)Dir: Yared Zeleke Ethiopia/France/Germany/Norway/Qatar 2015 1hr 34mins, Amharic with English subtitles Rediat Amare, Kidist Siyum, Welela Assefa

Set in the fabulous Ethiopian Highlands this delightful film gives us a multi-layered portrait of village life amongst subsistence farmers. It’s the story of young Ephraim who is left with his tyrannical Uncle while his father looks for work. Alone in an unfamiliar world, Ephraim’s constant companion is his pet sheep, apparently destined for the pot. Simply told through the eyes of the boy, there’s rather more going on than initially appears. This charming story about growing up in a land where everyone is short of food has an undeniable ring of authenticity.“Yared Zeleke’s sharp eye for the culture of his homeland is showcased in this tremendous ethnographic debut” THE GUARDIAN

Tanna (12A)Dir: Bentley Dean, Martin Butler Australia/Vanuatu 2015 1hr 44mins, Nauvhal with English subtitles The Yakel tribe

Set against the rain forest and stark volcanic slopes of the Pacific Island paradise of Vanuatu, this is a Romeo & Juliet tale of how two young lovers challenge their cultural tradition of arranged marriages in the name of love. Performed by an extraordinary cast from the Yakel tribe. This visually ravishing film tells the story of Wawu, a young woman who has fallen in love with her chief’s grandson, Dain. When her family forbids their marriage they run away, causing further trouble as an inter-tribal war threatens.

WEDNESDAY 16 March 6pm

The Pearl Button (tbc)Dir: Patricio Guzman Chile/France/Spain 2015 1hr 44mins, Spanish with English subtitles Gabriela Paterito, Cristina Calderon, Gabriela Salazar

Delighting in the beauty of Patagonia’s volcanoes, mountains and glaciers, this extraordinary film will give you much to ponder. In the same lyrical vein as his wonderful Nostalgia for The Light, Guzman ruminates on astronomy, water, memory, and much else besides. Via a pearl button he links Allende’s atrocities to the story of Jimmy Button, a native Amerindian taken to Europe in the 19th century. Guzman explores Chile’s tortured history through many poignant interviews. Nobody else really makes films like this that express deeply humanist, spiritual ideas so effortlessly.Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Script at Berlin International Film Festival 2015

As Mick crafts what may be his final screenplay, Fred is given the opportunity to perform for the Queen.

In 1947, Dalton Trumbo was Hollywood’s top screenwriter until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs. Trumbo recounts how Dalton used words and wit to win two Academy Awards and expose the absurdity and injustice under the blacklist, which entangled everyone from gossip columnist Hedda Hopper to John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger.“The great Bryan Cranston sinks his teeth into the title role and chews the scenery with such gusto I half-expected him to spit out a chunk of period-piece furniture ..” CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

2 Paint Wales

Janet Weeks Bligh and Tony Douglas-JonesBoth members of the Royal Watercolour Society of Wales, Janet Weeks Bligh and Tony Douglas-Jones have been painting all their lives. For Janet, local Welsh images and Celtic culture inspire paintings of natural form and space with colour playing a vital part. Tony has worked in watercolour for the last twenty years attempting to capture the shifting effects of light and atmosphere on the sea and sky. Recent work has focussed on Port Talbot where the massive steelworks is always changing, wreathed in clouds of steam and smoke enveloping the structures creating movement and mystery.
