Llandovery Cinema to host Welsh language LGBTQ+ film event
The event, in collaboration with Cardiff's Iris Prize, will take place at Rhys Prichard Memorial Hall on Friday, June 21. Attendees will be treated to complimentary tea, coffee, and rainbow cake from 6pm, with the film screenings commencing at 7pm. The line-up features a selection of Welsh language films that delve into themes of identity, community, and queer experiences, showcasing the talent of Welsh filmmakers and bringing attention to underrepresented voices in national cinema. The programme includes personal narratives and experimental works, reflecting the richness of queer life and culture in Wales today. One highlight is 'Teth', an S4C-commissioned film by writer-actor Leo Drayton that impressed audiences at this year's BFI Flare in London. "There are lots of depressing trans films out there so it's nice to have this kind of representation," said Leo about his film. "It's helpful to have this perspective out there so trans people watching know it's not all doom and gloom." Film coordinator Ella Peel said: "It was important that the films had both Welshness and queerness at their core to demonstrate that both identities hold equal importance and how beautifully diverse Cymru is." The event will close with a live Q&A session with director and animator Efa Blosse-Mason, who will discuss her film and themes of rural pride with LGBTQ+ artists. Tickets for the event cost £5 and can be purchased at LYCC on Market Square, Llandovery, at the door (subject to availability), or online at Ticket Source.

There will also be soft play sessions at Duncan Edwards and Halesowen leisure centre, as well as £1 football sessions at The Dell Stadium. A wide range of pre-bookable and walk-in sessions including craft, circus skills, board games, Lego workshops and Easter egg hunts are taking place at thirteen borough libraries and the Holidays, Activities, and Food (HAF) programme, a Department for Education funded initiative designed to support children who receive benefits-related free school meals, is also offering an array of activities. Families can enjoy a fantastic line up of live entertainment at Dudley Town Hall this Easter - young pop fans will enjoy 'Sweet and Sour - The Ultimate Tribute to Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo' on Friday April 18, and musical theatre lovers looking to defy gravity can enjoy 'Wicked' sing-along screening events on Friday, April 25.

Councillor David Stanley, Cabinet Member for Children's Services, said: 'This Easter we're offering a wide range of activities for children and young people, including sport, free swimming, crafting and live entertainment. 'Parents should ensure they pre-book sessions where possible and we ask families to be aware that free swimming is always very popular with spaces on a first-come, first-served basis.' People who have not previously registered for free swimming are being asked to do so at in advance of their swim.
