Description:
The recent Gŵyl Lên Llandeilo Lit Fest saw crowds return in record numbers to Llandeilo, in a literary bonanza for the Carmarthenshire town.<br/>With 1,350 tickets sold across three days, the annual event grew this year by two-thirds, drawing fans of the written and spoken word from across South and West Wales.<br/>Highlights included the festival's first dedicated children's event in the town’s newly refurbished Yr Hen Farchnad. Talks and workshops at Kids Fest at the Lit Fest were led by award-winning Wales-based children's authors like Children’s Laureate for Wales Alex Wharton and Jonny Duddle.<br/>Aardman Animations led popular model-making and animation workshops alongside an array of free creative activities for families.<br/>This year’s festival broke new ground by embarking on a schools’ programme that delivered writing, poetry, performance and illustration workshops for 320 children across five of Llandeilo's nearby primary schools.<br/>Dafydd Iwan, Kate Humble, John Devereux, Alun Ffred, Siôn Rowlands and an evening of urban myths and legends were the weekend's big crowd pleasers, with tales of hiraeth, sport, crime, politics and more.<br/>The festival's largest programme of Welsh-language sessions to date featured many of Wales' homegrown literary stars, including National Eisteddfod prize-winning poet Sioned Erin Hughes and writer and broadcaster Myfanwy Alexander.<br/>Gŵyl Lên Llandeilo Lit Fest founder and co-chair Christoph Fischer said: “It's just so brilliant to see Llandeilo's literature festival go from strength-to-strength as we draw more crowds to our small town each year. As well as hosting some of Wales' celebrated writers like Owen Sheers and Bethan Gwanas, we’re also seeing a growing appetite for discussions about civic issues that matter to people across our communities.”<br/>Gŵyl Lên Llandeilo Lit Fest is organised by volunteers, supported by Menter Dinefwr and funded by the Heart of Wales Line Community Grant Scheme and the Literature Wales’ Inspiring Communities Fund. The children’s programme received funding from Llandeilo Town Council, Carmarthenshire County Council’s Ten Towns Event Fund and the UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund.<br/>

_handling-the-undead-124-official-trailer-renate-reinsve-anders-danielsen-lie.webp "On a hot summer day in Oslo, the dead mysteriously awaken, and three families are thrown into chaos when their deceased loved ones come back to them. Who are they, and what do they want? A family is faced with the mother’s reawakening before they have even mourned her death after a car accident; an elderly woman gets the love of her life back the same day she has buried her; a grandfather rescues his grandchild from the gravesite in a desperate attempt to get his daughter out of her depression. Handling the Undead is a drama with elements of horror about three families, a story about grief and loss, but also about hope and understanding of what we can’t comprehend or control. Check out the trailer. <br/><br/>Handling The Undead stars Renate Reinsve, Anders Danielsen Lie, Bjørn Sundquis, Bente Børsum, Bahar Pars, and Inesa Dauksta. The script is John Ajvide Lindqvist in collaboration with Thea Hvistendahl. It is produced by Kristin Emblem & Guri Neby.<br/><br/>Handling The Undead, directed by Thea Hvistendahl, opens at the IFC Center in NY on May 31, and expands on June 7 to select cities.<br/>")
