The Celynen Film Festival
8th August 2026

Returning for its THIRD year!

WELSH FILMS/SHORTS/MUSIC VIDEOS ONLY
Your submission must either be directed by, staring or written by someone Welsh. Films can be spoken in both Welsh & English.

Only a selection of submissions will be chosen to be shown during the event, but all winning submissions will be posted on our website, where the audience will be encouraged to watch. Promotion to social media links and additional content will be printed onto the festival programme.

To submit your project, it is always better to get in early, as that is our lowest submission fee. Starting at £15 per entry. The submission fee will increase the closer we get to the film festival.

The festival will be free to attend and will last over 3 hours on the 8th August. We will begin the evening with a 30-minute viewing of a collection of stellar submissions in the Newbridge Memo Theatre. We will then proceed to make our way down into the Ballroom where we will be greeted by some live music and a bar, where refreshments will be available, and guests can mingle. At 8pm, after a short introduction, we will begin the award ceremony. We encourage all nominated projects to be able to attend, as it will be a wonderful night to network with fellow creatives. After the awards, we will wrap up the night with some more live entertainment.
