Monico Movies legacy continues

After 10 very successful years, the ending in July of Monico Movies, Rhiwbina's own community cinema, was a sad occasion for the village, regular audience members and the crew themselves.

Previously, we reported on the generous donation of Monico Movies' equipment to Hwb Y Gors in Ammanford.

And now the Monico Movies team have further cemented the legacy of the local cinema by making a financial donation to Made in Wales, a Film Hub Wales project. Film Hub Wales' objective is to bring more films, to more people, in more places.

Made in Wales said: "This will support us in our efforts to promote films with Welsh connections and we are incredibly grateful. Thank you to the [Monico Movies] team for all you have done to support film in Wales over the years".

Film Hub Wales’ Made in Wales (MIW) project celebrates films with Welsh connections. It offers year-round activities in partnership with Welsh exhibitors, including a film catalogue, with information on over 1,000 shorts and feature films.

Audiences can keep up to date with news of upcoming Welsh releases and the latest interviews by following Made in Wales on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, the Made in Wales podcast, YouTube and Letterboxd.

MIW is made possible thanks to funding from Creative Wales and the support of BFI Film Audience Network (FAN), awarding National Lottery funding. BFI FAN offers support to exhibitors across the whole of the UK, to boost cultural programming and engage diverse audiences. In Wales, activity is led by Film Hub Wales, managed by Chapter.
