WOW Wales One World Film Festival were very early adopters of the F-Rating: this looks great!

🌱Ecosinema 2025: Lost for Words + Director's Q&A 🎬

We are over the moon to present 'Lost for Words,' a poetic, tender documentary inspired by the work of much-loved Wales based artist and illustrator Jackie Morris. Jackie’s book has touched so many lives here in Wales and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier to see her magic brought to life on the big screen.

Even more exciting: after the film, we’ll be joined by the film's director, Hannah Papacek Harper, for a live Q&A.

This is a rare chance to hear directly from the filmmaker about how the project came together; how children, elders, artists, and scientists all shaped this tapestry of wonder, and how Jackie’s vision helped inspire it.

📅 Thursday 9 October, 7.15pm

🌱 Ecosinema 2025: Lost for Words + Holi ac Ateb gyda’r Cyfarwyddwr 🎬

Rydym wrth ein bodd yn cyflwyno 'Lost for Words,' rhaglen ddogfen farddonol, dyner wedi'i hysbrydoli gan waith yr artist a'r darlunydd poblogaidd Jackie Morris. Mae llyfr Jackie wedi cyffwrdd â chymaint o fywydau yma yng Nghymru a thu hwnt, ac ni allem fod yn hapusach o weld ei hud yn dod yn fyw ar y sgrin fawr.

Hyd yn oed yn fwy cyffrous: ar ôl y ffilm, byddwn ni’n cael ymuno â chyfarwyddwr y ffilm, Hannah Papacek Harper, ar gyfer sesiwn holi ac ateb fyw.

Dyma gyfle prin i glywed yn uniongyrchol gan y ffilmwraig am sut ddaeth y prosiect at ei gilydd; sut y bu plant, hynafgwyr, artistiaid a gwyddonwyr i gyd yn siapio’r gwe pryfwaith rhyfeddol hwn, a sut y bu gweledigaeth Jackie yn ysbrydoliaeth iddo.

"My new film LOLLIPOP has no speaking roles for men - here’s why" (see below)

Really love this.

Watched An Army of Women last night at Watershed to a sold out audience Hosted by Reclaim The Frame with a Q&A with the film’s director Julie Lunde Lillesæter, CEO of SARSAS Lorri Weaving and Melanie Iredale.

This doc tells the story of a group of women in Austin, Texas, who filed a class-action lawsuit against the police and district attorney’s office who systematically failed to investigate or prosecute r**e and sexual assault cases.

The women are magnificent and the film focuses on them and not their assaults or assailants. I think it’s the first trauma informed film I’ve watched about violence against women.

It’s uplifting & inspirational and you may only be able to see it in the cinema so DO go and watch it on the big screen if you can.

Telling. Quantity of male versus female dialogue in best picture films of recent decades

Louder for those at the back: the endemic sexism in the film industry is not about profit or prowess, it’s about power. That is all.

The study found there hasn't been notable improvement over the past five years in gender-balanced hiring. Strikingly, films with gender-balanced teams tend to have lower budgets.
