Owen Sheers, author of the book Resistance talks with Supervising Art Director of the fim - Rosanna Westwood, about the making of the film. How it came to be made, the process of transferring a novel into a film script and how this is translated into the world of the art department. A truly local film, set, written and filmed in the Black Mountains just a few miles from Hay Castle.
It is 1944 and the D-Day Landings have failed; Germany has invaded and Britain is now under enemy occupation. In the Olchon Valley, a group of Welsh farmers’ wives wake up one morning to find their husbands have vanished. As they await the men’s return the women work together to keep things going, but as the winter sets in a patrol of German soldiers arrives, forcing the women to confront the fine line that lies between resistance and collaboration.
Starring: Andrea Riseborough, Tom Wlaschiha and Michael Sheen
‘A beautiful, elliptical war film with the haunting qualities of a ghost story. Riseborough is terrific and Gupta proves that he’s a talent to watch.’
Tickets are £15 for adults and £9 for under 18s
We also have a talk with Owen Sheers and Rosanna Westwood about the writing of the book and making of the film at 6pm
Tickets for both events are £17.50
