TANAU'R LLOER

FIRES OF THE MOON

Ar ôl première y byd llwyddianus iawn yn ystod yr Ŵyl Ffilm Rhyngwladol Caeredin, mae ffilm opera Tanau’r Lloer yn cael ei lansio yng Nghymru efo dangosiadau cydamserol ar 14eg o fis Tachwedd ym Mhontio Bangor a Chapter Caerdydd.

After a very successful world première at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, the opera film Tanau’r Lloer (Fires of the Moon) is being launched in Wales with simultaneous showings on 14th November in Pontio Bangor and Chapter Cardiff. 

As a writer takes a train journey home at night, he is forced to confront the memory of events which led to his mother’s institutionalisation decades before.
This gorgeous black-and-white Welsh language film with music by renowned composer Gareth Glyn is inspired by the literary classic ‘Un Nos Ola Leuad’, performed by the Welsh National Opera Orchestra.
A unique blend of opera and cinema, this is a rich and beautifully performed exploration of the troubled creative mind.

This is a uniquely special film, recalling the hallucinatory fervour of Powell & Pressburger. Unmissable.
