New S4C Contract

The Festivals Company has been awarded a contract to distribute the new S4C feature film Cwcw, marking the first theatrical tour of an S4C feature since the Oscar nominated Solomon & Gaenor in 1999.

The contract will involve the company co-ordinating a theatrical tour in cinemas throughout Wales, a number of education events and the opening night premiere.

"We’re very excited to be working on this project. S4C have a great track record for supporting film in Wales and have a number of Oscar nominations to add weight to this fact," said Berwyn Rowlands

Cwcw is written and directed by Delyth Jones is the story of Jane Jones a Cardiff scriptwriter for the successful soap series "Meddyg Teulu" (Family Doctor). Approaching 40, Jane is on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
