Dal: Yma/Nawr (Still: Here/Now)

 BACK TO LIST

 

Brief synopsis:

 

Dal: Yma/Nawr (Still: Here/Now)

The film produced for S4C by TV company Fiction Factory, takes viewers on a 2,000-year odyssey through Europe's oldest surviving bardic tradition. It takes in everything from Aneirin's sixth century war reportage to today's modern poetry slams, along with subtle clues to the secrets of its survival.

 

The film features some of Wales' greatest performing talents. Sian Phillips, Ioan Gruffudd, Matthew Rhys and Rhys Ifans are among those reading poems while singer-songwriters Cerys Matthews and John Cale perform their own arrangements of two Welsh melodies. The film has a stirring musical score composed by Catatonia's Owen Powell and Bedwyr Humphries.
