Tanau'r Lloer (Fires of the Moon) Tanau'r Lloer (Fires of the Moon)

Director: Chris Forster

Year: 2025

A guilt-ridden writer, haunted by the past, embarks on a melancholic train journey home. Memories of a tumultuous adolescence resurface, forcing him to confront a dark secret that led to his mother's confinement in an asylum. Through fragmented recollections and lyrical confrontations, he navigates a path towards redemption and artistic awakening.<br /> This film is a Welsh-language "operatic film", a genre-bending exploration of grief, memory, and the power of artistic creation. Drawing inspiration from Wales' literary cornerstone, 'Un Nos Ola Leuad', this introspective drama is a fever dream woven from personal trauma and artistic expression. <br /> Score composed by Gareth Glyn, performed by the Welsh National Opera orchestra<br /> In Welsh with English subtitles
