Dyddiau Du

A bi-monthly political screening connects audiences to local political groups through the medium of cinema

Dyddiau Du, Capitol Cardiff

We invite you to take your seat, not as individual spectator, but rather as participant in a collective act of cinematic interpretation and appropriation.Volume OneThe first edition features films from the late 20th century that explore Welsh working-class histories. After the screening, we will be holding an open discussion alongside the Welsh Underground Network to explore what we can learn from these histories, how they help us to think a Welshsocialist future and what place cultural interventions, like cinema, might play in such a society.Women of the RhonddaAn early film of what would become London Women's Film Group, a feminist film production and exhibition collective, Women of the Rhondda marks the Women's Liberation Movement's radical reframing of cultural-political discourses. Using oral history to uncover the role of women in Welsh working-class history, the film is a powerful document of the everyday experiences of mining strikes oft-ignored by male-centric images of the working-class.So That You Can LiveFollowing the Butts family across five years in the South Wales valleys, this first feature from agit-prop collective Cinema Action offers a more reflective, historically attuned focus to their earlier sloganistic shorts. Combining original texts from Raymond Williams, observational footage and inspired montage, the film interrogates the ghostly working class histories of physical space and fractured nationhood as reflected in the family unit across a period of devastating de-industrialisation.Ffugia dy Farwolaeth, Cymera SeddCyfres o sgriniadau gwleidyddol deufisol yw Ffugia dy Farwolaeth, Cymera Sedd, sy’n anelu at cysylltu cynulleidfeydd i grwpiau gwleidyddol lleol trwy gyfrwng y sinema.Fydd y sgriniadau yn ffocysu ar ffilmiau hanesyddol a chyfoes sydd wedi eu ymylu o canonau swyddogol, a fy’n darparu gweledigaeth newydd o sinema yn dod o grwpiau cymdeithasol orthrymedig wedi eu dadfeddiannu yn sinemategol.Rydym yn eich gwahodd i chymryd sedd, nid fel gwyliwr, ond fel cyfranogwr mewn cydweithred o dehongli a neilltuo sinematig.Cyfrol UnMae’r rhifyn cyntaf yn cynnwus ffilmiau o’r 20fed Ganrif hwyr sy’n archwilio hanesion dosbarth-gweithiol Cymreig. Ar ol y sgriniad, fyddwn yn cynnal trafodaeth agored yng nghyd a Welsh Underground Network i archwilio beth rydyn yn gally dysgu o’r hanesion yma, sut y maent yn ein helpu i ddychmygu dyfodol sosialaidd Cymraeg, a sut fath o rhan sydd gan ymyriadau diwylliannol, fel sinema, i’w chwarae mewn cymdeithas o’r fath.Women of the RhonddaFfilm cynnar o be bu’n dod i’w alw’n London Women’s Film Group, cydweithfa ffeminydd cynyrchiad ac arddangosiad ffilmiau, mae Women of the Rhondda yn nodi ail-fframio radicalaidd o disgwrsiau diwylliannol-gwleidyddol y Mudiad Rhyddid Merched. Trwy ddefnydd o hanes llafar i ddadorchuddio rhan merched yn hanes dosbarth-gweithiol Cymru, mae’r ffilm yn dogfen pwerus o profiadau dyddiol o’r streiciau mwyngloddio sy’n cael ei anwybyddu’n rhy aml gan darluniau gwryw-ganolog o’r dosbarth-gweithiol.So That You Can LiveYn dilyn y teulu Butts ar draws pum mlynedd yng nghymoedd De Cymru, mae’r ffilm nodwedd hon gan cydweithfa agit-prop Cinema Action yn cynnig ffocws fwy adfyfyriol, hanesyddol i’w ffilmiau fer arwyddeiriol cynnar. Yn cyfuno testynau gwreiddiol gan Raymond Williams, darnau o ffilm arsylwadol, a montage ysbrydoledig, mae’r ffilm yn ymchwilio’r hanesion dosbarth-gweithiol ysbrydol o gofod ffisegol a chenedligrwydd doredig fel yr adwelyrchir mewn uned teulol dros cyfnod dinistriol o ddad-ddiwydiannu.
