0:00:410:00:44

-Talking of nations,

-just over 100 years ago...

0:00:450:00:48

-..Welshman D W Griffith directed

-the film, The Birth of a Nation.

0:00:480:00:52

-We'll hear about a new film

0:00:520:00:55

0:00:550:00:59

0:01:330:01:38

0:01:380:01:41

-Thank you.

0:01:410:01:44

-It's going to be a busy year

-for you and all the members.

0:01:440:01:50

-It's going to be very busy.

0:01:500:01:53

-But first, we're off to Machynlleth.

0:01:530:01:56

-Gerallt has been hearing about

-the traditions the Basque Country...

0:01:560:02:00

-..and its minority language.

0:02:010:02:03

-It has been a day full of variety,

-Gerallt.

0:02:030:02:06

-Yes, indeed, Mari.

0:02:070:02:22

-I have been to meet a few talented

-people.

0:02:230:02:26

-Before we talk about

-the Basque artwork...

0:02:310:02:34

-..what effect has

-this part of Spain had on you?

0:02:350:02:38

-I went to the Basque Country

-in Northern Spain in September.

0:02:380:02:43

-I stayed in the lovely region of

-San Sebastian, a marvellous city.

0:02:430:02:49

-I was also able to travel

-into the countryside for a day...

0:02:500:02:55

-..to the Lecunberri region.

0:02:560:02:59

-They speak the Basque language there

-as they do in San Sebastian.

0:02:590:03:03

-The language makes it

-a very special place.

0:03:040:03:08

-It's busy here at Ysgol Bro Hyddgen

-as the students enjoy themselves.

0:03:080:03:12

-What is the Basque inspiration

-behind the artwork?

0:03:130:03:16

-In the rural areas of the Basque

-country there are many farmhouses.

0:03:170:03:22

-They have three or four floors.

0:03:220:03:25

-On the top level...

0:03:250:03:26

-..they hang a frame on the ceiling

-and hang all kinds of things on it.

0:03:270:03:31

-Chairs, teapots,

-all kinds of things.

0:03:310:03:34

-Here in the art room, they are

-making bits and pieces to hang up.

0:03:350:03:43

-Before Christmas, we didn't know

-much about the Basque Country.

0:03:430:03:48

-I hadn't heard of it.

0:03:480:03:51

-It seems that the Basque Country

-is very similar to Wales.

0:03:510:03:55

-One thing I've created is a frying

-pan with eggs and bacon in it!

0:03:550:04:00

-I like this piece

-because it stands out.

0:04:000:04:04

-I love food,

-especially fish and chips.

0:04:050:04:09

-I've made a basket

-with fish, chips and onion rings.

0:04:090:04:14

-It has been a good experience for

-the children and the department...

0:04:150:04:19

-..to work with Luned.

0:04:190:04:22

-The Basque element is something

-completely different.

0:04:220:04:26

-I think everyone's

-enjoyed themselves.

0:04:260:04:30

-In the Tannery in Machynlleth...

0:04:370:04:40

-..you can see work by Juan Gorriti,

-a prominent Basque artist.

0:04:400:04:44

-Luned Rhys Parri knows

-and admires his work.

0:04:440:04:49

-He is a great and prolific artist.

0:04:530:04:56

-He's produced all kinds of art,

-including paintings and sculptures.

0:04:570:05:01

-He likes to paint these objects

-a certain blue colour...

0:05:010:05:10

-..which is called Gorriti Blue.

0:05:100:05:16

-We're very fortunate

-that Gorriti's work...

0:05:200:05:24

-..has been brought here from the

-Basque Country in Northern Spain.

0:05:240:05:29

-We can see it here in all its glory.

0:05:290:05:33

-Meic Llewellyn, the co-ordinator

-of this event, joins me.

0:05:390:06:04

-When did the connection start?

0:06:040:06:07

-The connection started

-about 20 years ago.

0:06:070:06:11

-It's since bands from Wales started

-visiting the area.

-It has been a nice experience.

0:07:290:07:33

-We are far from each other.

0:07:330:07:38

-in our culture.

0:07:380:07:41

-We are quite similar.

0:07:410:07:57

0:11:290:11:37

0:11:370:11:41

-There is also a glass daffodil.

0:11:410:11:44

-That is 25.

0:11:440:11:53

0:13:480:13:52

-After the break, two films,

-two centuries but the same title.

0:13:520:13:56

-I'll have the story of this new film

-and another with the same title...

0:13:560:14:01

-..which came out in 1915 and is one

-of the most contentious films ever.

0:14:010:14:06

-A Welsh American

-was responsible for it.

0:14:060:14:08

-We'll also go behind the scenes of

-a popular West End musical, Aladdin.

0:14:090:14:13

-We'll be guided by a busy member

-of the orchestra, Nerys Richards.

0:14:130:14:17

-See you in a few minutes.

0:14:180:14:19

-.

0:14:270:14:27

-Subtitles

0:14:340:14:36

-Welcome back.

0:14:400:14:41

-We're off to the cinema

-straight away...

0:14:410:14:44

-..where the film The Birth of

-a Nation is showing at the moment.

0:14:440:14:48

-A film with the same title

-was released over 100 years ago.

0:14:480:14:51

-Whilst the new one has been praised,

-the original was very contentious.

0:14:520:14:56

-It was produced and directed

-by a Welsh American...

0:14:560:15:01

-..and Rhodri has the story.

0:15:010:15:03

-The Lord has spoken to me.

0:15:040:15:05

-Visions of what's to come.

0:15:050:15:07

-The rise of good against evil.

0:15:070:15:09

-What are we going to do?

0:15:090:15:10

-What are we going to do?

-

-We'll fight.

0:15:100:15:12

-The Birth of a Nation

-tells the story of Nat Turner...

0:15:120:15:16

-..in the Southern States of America

-in the 1830s.

0:15:170:15:20

-He was a black man

-who had learnt to read.

0:15:200:15:23

-Despite being a slave,

-he preached around the estates.

0:15:230:15:28

-In a way, he kept

-the slaves under control...

0:15:280:15:31

-..on behalf of their

-white masters.

0:15:320:15:35

-When he saw what went on at the

-farms, he started a revolution.

0:15:350:15:40

-I pray you sing a new song.

0:15:400:15:45

-It's a true story and a labour

-of love for the director and star...

0:15:450:15:49

-..Nate Parker.

0:15:490:15:51

-Parker wanted to take the title

-of the famous film from 1915...

0:15:510:15:58

-..and retell the story

-on behalf of black Americans.

0:15:580:16:03

-If the new film gives

-the proper context to the story...

0:16:030:16:08

-..the original romanticizes

-some of the most controversial...

0:16:080:16:13

-..and loathsome characters

-in American history.

0:16:140:16:17

-Many people know that there are

-problems with the original film.

0:16:180:16:24

-It basically praises

-the Ku Klux Klan.

0:16:240:16:28

-It's the American Civil War from

-the standpoint of the white man.

0:16:280:16:33

-Were the slaves

-thinking about revolution...

0:16:330:16:37

-..or even about taking power.

0:16:370:16:42

-A kind of hysteria grows and

-the answer is the Ku Klux Klan.

0:16:420:16:52

-That sounds racist

-because the film is racist.

0:16:520:16:57

-There is no doubt about it.

0:16:570:17:00

-The film was based on a famous

-novel, The Clansman.

0:17:000:17:03

-It was made by a Welsh American.

0:17:030:17:05

-D W Griffith, or David Llewellyn

-Wark Griffith, was definitely Welsh!

0:17:060:17:10

-His forefathers came from Wales

-but he was born in Kentucky.

0:17:110:17:16

-D W Griffith had a Welsh heritage

-but his father was very imaginative.

0:17:160:17:28

-One of his stories

-was about the family's history.

0:17:280:17:32

-He claimed that they came

-from a long line of Welsh kings.

0:17:320:17:38

-D W Griffith's father

-was quite a character.

0:17:390:17:43

-He was known as

-"Roaring" Jake Griffith.

0:17:430:17:47

-He was a Confederate Colonel

-during the American Civil War.

0:17:470:17:52

-I think there's a similarity between

-those Southerners and the Welsh.

0:17:520:17:59

-They are still going on

-about the South rising again.

0:17:590:18:03

-They still feel apart from America,

-their own nation.

0:18:040:18:07

-When it was released,

-the film was counted as a classic.

0:18:070:18:11

-Griffith was the father of cinema

-for generations of Americans.

0:18:110:18:17

-It's difficult for us to watch

-The Birth of a Nation today...

0:18:170:18:22

-..because of its racist element.

0:18:220:18:25

-However, if we can somehow

-see past that, and it's not easy...

0:18:250:18:29

-..then it's a terrific film.

0:18:290:18:31

-Made in 1915, it's over three hours

-long and has huge, expensive sets.

0:18:320:18:39

-It also has a cast of thousands and

-D W Griffith's use of the camera.

0:18:390:18:46

-Before D W Griffith, there were

-no close-ups or montages.

0:18:460:18:51

-On the other hand,

-the story extols the Klan.

0:18:510:18:55

-To appreciate the new film,

-you have to watch the old one.

0:18:550:19:01

-An ironic use of words maybe,

-but you can't whitewash history.

0:19:020:19:05

-You have to see the weaknesses

-in D W Griffith's film...

0:19:060:19:10

-..in order to appreciate

-Nate Parker's film even more.

0:19:100:19:14

-Despite the racism

-in the original film...

0:19:150:19:19

-..without it, we wouldn't have

-Nate Parker's film to applaud.

0:19:190:19:24

-Rebel!

0:19:240:19:27

-You waiting on something?

0:19:270:19:30

-You waiting on us.

0:19:300:19:33

-# We will rise #

0:19:330:19:37

-That film certainly

-looks worth seeing.

0:19:370:19:39

-We're off to London now, to the West

-End, the land of musical theatre.

0:19:400:19:44

-Nerys Richards from Newport,

-Pembrokeshire, knows the place well.

0:19:440:19:49

-She's in the orchestra

-for the magical musical, Aladdin.

0:19:490:19:53

-Daf Wyn took up a few minutes of

-her busy schedule for a quick chat.

0:19:530:19:57

-How does it feel to be playing in

-such a big show at in the West End?

0:20:040:20:08

-We are right in the centre,

-in Soho on Old Compton Street.

0:20:090:20:13

-I sometime think I'd like

-to work somewhere a bit quieter.

0:20:140:20:18

-Every night, I travel in on the Tube

-with my cello.

0:20:190:20:22

-It often doesn't feel like coming

-to work because I love it so much.

0:20:230:20:27

-The music is great.

0:20:270:20:30

-My part on the cello is good.

0:20:300:20:33

-I play it almost every night

-so I have to like it!

0:20:340:20:37

-I also have a couple of solos.

0:20:370:20:40

-It's very interesting.

0:20:400:20:44

-The film is very magical.

0:20:450:20:49

-Does that come across on stage?

0:20:500:20:51

-Does that come across on stage?

-

-Definitely.

0:20:510:20:53

-We feel it in the pit because

-the music is quite magical too?

0:20:530:20:57

-On this side are violin 1, violin 2

-and me on the cello over here.

0:21:010:21:09

-There's a grand piano over here.

0:21:090:21:13

-A double bass and a keyboard.
