A made-in-Rhiwbina short film has been longlisted for the prestigious British Short Film Awards.
Annalium 8: Sssss was filmed in South Wales - including scenes in Rhiwbina - and was written and co-produced by Rhiwbina-born-and-raised Rob Lancey, and also produced by our own Andy Weltch of Weltch Media.
Directed by Andrew ‘Griff’ Griffin, the film stars Francesca Louise White and Minaii Baelfire. Francesca is an award-winning actress, most recently seen in the feature Ship of the Damned, now available on Sky Store, and Minaii holds the distinction of being the world’s first Black Young Elsa in a stage production of Frozen.
After gaining a string of accolades at home and abroad over the past year, the film has now been longlisted in the Welsh Short Film category at the British Short Film Awards.
As one of six films on the longlist, the producers are now waiting to hear if it makes the shortlist of nominees ahead of January’s ceremony in London.
Annalium 8: Sssss is set in a world where all animal life has seemingly been killed, until a lone scientist in hazmat gear finds a young girl, apparently unaffected and living in a forest.
You may have seen the film at Monico Movies last October or at another local screening, but if you missed it, you can now watch it online here.
