Wales hosts International Political Video Festival

Wales hosts International Political Video Festival

On November 26 comedian Mark Thomas kicks off a week long festival of
award winning documentaries, eye-witness reports from Palestine and
political music.

Hosted in Swansea, BEYONDTV is an annual international video festival
attracting filmmakers from Croatia, Middle East and Cameroon.

This year BEYONDTV will host a discussion and short video reports
about the recent blockade of a nuclear weapon base in Scotland.

A documentary about the rise of Ecovillages in Wales and England will
be screened. A stand up comedian will show clips from a new film
exploring the anniversary of the introduction of lesbian civil
partnerships

Hosted in the very heart of Swansea Marina, BEYONDTV promises to be
an entertaining week with all proceeds going to support the charity
work of undercurrents.

Festival coordinator De Murphy said today
“BeyondTv is incredibly inspiring every year as it is a chance to
see films and hear viewpoints we never or rarely see on television.
This is the seventh annual festival. It will be a wonderful
opportunity for networking or simply making new friends.”
