Smashed

We worked in partnership with Bridgend Youth Offending Team in 2004 as part of our GAP 24/7 Project , running arts and media workshops for young people on ISSP and reparation orders. In this project we worked with Gareth, exploring issues around crime and drugs, making a self portrait collage and a short film drama called 'Smashed - the highs and lows'.

Family Album

In 2004 we worked on a new women's media project which was launched on International Women's Day 2005 at the National Museum and Galleries of Wales in Cardiff. Our Film Department worked with several women to produce new women's films exploring women's lives and issues for women living in Wales today, including cultural identity, sexuality, relationships, community and society. The project received much acclaim, women contributors were interviewed for a programme on BBC Radio Wales, and the films and exhibition were viewed by over 3,000 people at The National Museum in Cardiff. Family Album showreel of women's films available to purchase in early 2006.

Creative Journeys

In 2004-5 we worked in partnership with MIND in the Vale of Glamorgan, in Barry, Penarth and Llantwit Major, on an exciting mixed artform project called 'Creative Journeys'. Our Film Department facilitated group members to use film to creatively explore and express their lives. This film shows a range of short films using different artforms (photography, movement, animation, film, words and pictures) made by adults in the Vale of Glamorgan, in partnership with MIND in the Vale, and facilitated by Neil Williams, Tim Smith, Ali Jones and June Campbell, Valley and Vale Community Arts. Created as part of our 'Arts, Minds and Souls' which we are developing for the future.
