Made in Wales - Film Hub Wales | Canolfan Ffilm Cymru

More People, More Places, More Films

We offer a range of activities each year to enable more people to watch more films with Welsh connections. This includes two open calls annually for larger projects, along with a pitch pot, which is open all year for smaller or one-off events.

If you want to develop audiences for Welsh features or shorts at your cinema, Made in Wales could support you. Read our guidelines below to find out how.

We believe that it’s important to celebrate Wales, from emerging talent to pioneering filmmakers, locations to languages, histories and untold narratives.

Since 2013, we’ve supported over 235 films with Welsh connections. We offer a range of activities from preview days to online screeners and a growing catalogue of bookable titles.

We also work with wider Welsh screen organisations to boost profile for Welsh film collectively, reaching new audiences.

In late 2019, we commissioned Wavehill (with support from Clwstwr, Pontio Arts and Innovation Centre and Bangor University) to explore the potential for a Made in Wales brand – read the full report here.
