WARRIORS (12A) Barney Douglas, UK, 2015, 87’ Warriors is a documentary following a group of young Maasai who, in a remote region of Kenya, have remarkably formed a cricket team. They relate the sport to their traditional hunting techniques – the ball is the spear, the bat is the shield – and their flowing red robes in full flight are an awesome sight. The film follows the team as they pursue their dream of reaching England, the home of cricket and test themselves in the amateur Last Man Stands World Championship. But there is a darker heart to the story. The Maasai are male dominated, women have few rights – even to their own bodies – and girls as young as six have suffered Female Genital Mutilation and early marriages. Traditional practices such as these have also contributed to the spread of HIV/Aids, and now many believe the future of the Maasai is under serious threat. The Warriors cricket team are using their newfound unity on the field as an inspiration to those off it, attempting to educate and give young people a sense of belonging, support and, hope.
However, they face resistance from the elders of their community – well-respected and wise men who hold all Maasai traditional practices dear and carry great influence. They fear losing any of their traditions will herald the end of the Maasai. Can cricket really bring change to the region? Mae’r ffilm ddogfen ysbrydoledig hon yn dilyn grŵp o Maasai ifanc sydd wedi ffurfio tîm criced, ac sy’n breuddwydio am gyrraedd Lloegr, ond mae ‘na ochr dywyll i’r stori. Yn eu cymdeithas, caiff ei dominyddu gan ddynion, nid oes gan ferched lawer o hawliau; mae merched mor ifanc â chwech wedi dioddef anffurfio organau cenhedlu benywod a phriodasau cynnar. Mae’r criw yn defnyddio’u hundod newydd ar y cae i ysbrydoli eraill, gan geisio addysgu a rhoi ymdeimlad o berthyn, cefnogaeth a gobaith.

On an expedition of the uncharted American wilderness, legendary explorer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is brutally attacked by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team.

Ar alldaith i anialwch dieithr America, caiff y fforiwr enwog Hugh Glass ei ymosod arno’n ffyrnig gan arth a’i adael i farw gan aelodau ei dîm ei hun. Mewn cwest i oroesi, mae Glass yn dioddef galar ofnadwy yn ogystal a brad gan ei gyfaill mynwesol John Fitzgerald. Wedi ei arwain gan benderfyniad ystyfnig a chariad at ei deulu, rhaid iddo lywio gaeaf garw mewn ymgais ddiddiwedd i fyw ac i ddod o hyd i adferiad.

MR. CALZAGHE (15) Vaughan Sivell, UK, 2015, 91’ A beautifully directed documentary feature by Pembrokeshire-born filmmaker Vaughan Sivell, this film charts the extraordinary life and career of Welsh-Italian Boxer, Joe Calzaghe. From impoverished beginnings in industrial Wales and a childhood of gruelling training and horrendous bullying, Joe and his father Enzo took on the vicious world of boxing, beating the best fighters that America could throw at them and getting out with their lives, relationship and fortune intact.

A SYRIAN LOVE STORY (12A) Sean McAllister, UK, France, Lebanon, Syria, 2015, 76’ Sean McAllister’s documentary about a family of Syrian refugees in Europe would be compelling at any time. Now it is unmissable. McAllister filmed over 5 years to chart this incredible odyssey to political freedom for wife and husband Raghda and Amer. It is a journey of hope, dreams and despair, the revolution, their homeland and each other. When McAllister first met the family in 2009, Raghda was in prison leaving Amer to look after their 4 boys alone; but as the ‘Arab Spring’ swept the region, the family’s fate shifted irrevocably as an emerging cosmopolitan tourist destination fell into the hands of Islamic State.
Yn adnabyddus am ei bortreadau unigryw a phersonol, ffilmiodd y cyfarwyddwr Sean McAllister dros 5 mlynedd, i siartio’r hynt ryfeddol hwn i ryddid gwleidyddol i Raghda ac Amer. Mae’n siwrnai o obaith, breuddwydion ac anobaith, y chwyldro, eu mamwlad a’i gilydd. Pan gyfarfu McAllister â’r teulu’n gyntaf, roedd Raghda yn y carchar gydag Amer yn gofalu am eu pedwar bachgen ar ei phen ei hun; ond wrth i’r ‘Gwanwyn Arabaidd’ symud ar draws yr ardal, newidiodd tynged y teulu am byth.

THEY WILL HAVE TO KILL US FIRST: MALIAN MUSIC IN EXILE (15) Johanna Schwartz, USA, 2015, 100’ Mali is one of the most musically rich and diverse countries in Africa and music is one of the most important forms of communication in the country. But in 2012, Islamic extremist groups banned all music after they rose up to capture an area of Mali the size of the UK and France combined. This remarkable documentary follows musicians in Mali in the wake of the jihadist takeover and tells how, rather than lay down their instruments, Mali’s musicians fought back.
Mae Mali yn un o’r gwledydd mwyaf cyfoethog ac amrywiol cerddorol yn Affrica o ran cerddoriaeth, a cherddoriaeth yw un o’r ffurfiau mwyaf pwysig o gyfathrebu yn y wlad. Ond yn 2012, cafodd cerddoriaeth ei gwahardd gan grwpiau Islamaidd eithafol ar ôl iddynt gipio ardal enfawr o’r wlad. Mae’r ffilm ddogfen ryfeddol hon yn dilyn cerddorion Mali yn sgil y meddiant jihadaidd ac yn adrodd sut, yn hytrach na gosod eu hofferynnau i’r neilltu, gwnaeth cerddorion Mali ymladd yn ôl.

SICARIO (15)
Denis Villeneuve, USA, 2015, 121’ Sicario is a brilliant action thriller with the perfect mix of cerebral and visceral thrills. In Mexico, Sicario means hitman; and in the lawless border area stretching between the U.S. and Mexico, an idealistic FBI agent (Emily Blunt) is enlisted by an elite government task force official (Josh Brolin) to aid in the escalating war against drugs. Led by an enigmatic consultant with a questionable past (Benicio Del Toro), the team sets out on a clandestine journey forcing Kate to question everything that she believes in order to survive.
Ym Mecsico, mae Sicario yn golygu asasin; ac yn yr ardal ffiniol afreolus sy’n ymestyn rhwng yr Unol Daleithiau a Mecsico, caiff asiant FBI delfrydyddol ei ymrestru gan swyddog elit tasglu’r Llywodraeth i helpu yn y rhyfel cynyddol yn erbyn cyffuriau. Wedi ei arwain gan ymgynghorydd enigmatig a chanddo orffennol amheus, mae’r tîm yn cychwyn ar siwrnai gyfrinachol sy’n gorfodi Kate i gwestiynu pob dim mae’n credu ynddo er mwyn goroesi.

DOCTOR ZHIVAGO (12A) David Lean, USA, Italy, UK, 1965, 188’ This brand new digital restoration of David Lean’s classic epic Doctor Zhivago marks the film’s 50th anniversary. Brilliantly photographed, sweepingly romantic and based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Boris Pasternak, the film is an exploration of the Russian Revolution as seen from the point of view of the intellectual, introspective title character (played by Omar Sharif).

TAXI TEHRAN (12A) Jafar Panahi, Iran, 2015, 82’
“Jafar Panahi’s joy ride… Again thumbing his nose at the regime that has banned him, the courageous Iranian director makes his latest film in a taxi rigged with three hidden cameras”. Jonathan Romney - The Guardian
Internationally acclaimed and sometimes banned director Jafar Panahi (This is Not a Film) goes undercover driving a yellow cab through the vibrant streets of Tehran, picking up many different passengers in a single day. Each man, woman and child candidly express their own views of the world, while being interviewed by the curious and gracious driver/director. His camera, placed on the dashboard of his mobile film studio, captures a spirited slice of Iranian society while brilliantly redefining the borders of comedy, drama and cinema.
Mae’r cyfarwyddwyr rhyngwladol clodfawr Jafar Panahi yn dieithrio ei hun fel gyrrwr tacsi melyn yn Nheran, gan gasglu nifer o wahanol deithwyr mewn dydd. Mae pob dyn, menyw a phlentyn yn mynegi ei farn ar y byd mewn modd agored, tra’n cael ei gyfweld gan yrrwr/cyfarwyddwr chwilfrydig a hynaws.

TELL SPRING NOT TO COME THIS YEAR (15) Saeed Taji Farouky, Michael McEvoy, UK, Afghanistan, 2015, 85’ This fascinating documentary was filmed entirely embedded in one unit of the Afghan National Army (ANA). It’s an intimate and humanist film, told from a largely unheard and misrepresented perspective that gives viewers a unique insight into the legacy of NATO’s war and the future of the country. Without a foreign soldier in sight and no narrative but their own, this is the war in Afghanistan, through the eyes of the Afghans who live it.
“This powerful, beautifully shot documentary tracks the intense, grim lives of the Afghan national army as they fight the Taliban alone after the US departed”. Peter Bradshaw - The Guardian

HE NAMED ME MALALA (PG) Davis Guggenheim, USA, 2015, 87’ He Named Me Malala is a portrait of Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai, who was targeted by the Taliban and severely wounded by a gunshot when returning home on her school bus in Pakistan’s Swat Valley. The then 15-year-old (she turned 18 this past July) was singled out, along with her father, for advocating for girls’ education, and the attack on her sparked an outcry from supporters around the world. She miraculously survived and is now a leading campaigner for girls’ education globally as co-founder of the Malala Fund. Documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim shows us how Malala, her father Zia and her family are committed to fighting for education for all girls worldwide. The film gives us a glimpse into this extraordinary young girl’s life – from her close relationship with her father who inspired her love for education, to her impassioned speeches at the UN, to her everyday life with her parents and brothers. The film is produced by Walter Parkes, Laurie MacDonald and Davis Guggenheim. The filmmaking team includes editors Greg Finton, Brian Johnson and Brad Fuller; director of photography Erich Roland; music by Thomas Newman; and supervising sound editor Skip Lievsay.
