Ffilmic in Llanfyllin

Over one hour we were transported to corners of the old Soviet Union and then halfway across the globe to a California which Hollywood has never shown us. Most shocking, and memorable, was the mismatch between the images of black-and-white Las Vegas and the gentle West Coast voice of the narrator, and the story she told of the horrific and seldom told repercussion of the testing of atom bombs in the desert, close by. Individually the films showed personal (and unique) views of distant but part-familiar places in our times. Refreshing and stimulating – in Mid Wales.
