Exploring how the Welsh people experience and maintain connections to their shared past and culture through narratives about place, this documentary features people across Cymru (Wales, U.K) sharing stories about the places and lands that hold significance for them.
Donkey Skin
In this lovingly crafted, wildly eccentric adaptation of a classic French fairy tale, Jacques Demy casts Catherine Deneuve as a princess who must go into hiding as a scullery maid in order to fend off an unwanted marriage proposal—from her own father, the king.
THE DOLL (Church of Film)
THE DOLL is a striking, frightening psychological thriller that recalls Hitchcock’s Psycho and presages Polanski’s Repulsion.

My Heart Is That Eternal Rose
Directed by Patrick Tam, Wong Kar-Wai’s mentor and a key figure of the Hong Kong new wave, shot by venerated co-cinematographers Christopher Doyle and David Chung, and with music by Danny Chung (Happy Together), this pulpy 80s classic looks and sounds as lush as ever in this lavish 2K restoration.
Three Promises
While the Israeli army retaliates against the Second Intifada in the West Bank in the early 2000s, a mother films her family's daily life. Now, her son revisits this past, delivering a heart-breaking portrait of the anguish of parents who are forced to choose between their children’s physical safety and the emotional upheaval of leaving home.
The Wicker Man (1973)
A puritan police sergeant arrives in a Scottish island village in search of a missing girl, who the pagan locals claim never existed.
