Ysbrydion

Synopsis

Ysbrydion (Spirits) is a film about the experience of growing up LGBTQ+ in rural Wales. The film was made for screening at the National Eisteddfod, an ancient poetry competition in Wales. While there have been two known LGBT poets to have won the Bardic chair over the centuries of the Eisteddfod, queer people are still not accepted or supported in much of rural Wales. This film tells some of their stories, history, and poetry.
