Mae Cymru yn dathlu 130 mlynedd o sinema yn 2026. 

In 1896, the first known cinema screenings took place in Wales. Mae'r sgrin fawr wedi bod yn gartref i ffilmiau arloesol William Haggar ac Arthur Cheetham o'r 1900au cynnar, hyd at y ffilmiau diweddaraf fel Effi o Blaenau a Madfabulous.

We’re​ ​​​​​​​running celebratory activities throughout the year, including this series of video blogs from Wales’ ‘cinema treasures’. Experience a guided tour of some of Wales’ great cinemas, from the newly renovated, to time-honoured classics that keep the art of film alive in Wales.

Press/film exhibitors can contact us for downloadable versions.
