-Hello, and welcome to Llanelli for

-Wednesday's live edition of Heno.

-I hope you've had a great day.

-We've got a little bit

-of everything tonight.

-Huw is in Cardiff

-but he isn't talking about fashion!

-No, I don't have any fashion advice,

-but there is champagne.

-Where you see champagne, you'll find

-a stylish group of people.

-Everyone has come together for the

-opening of The Iris Prize Festival.

-The festival is celebrating

-its tenth anniversary this year.

-We look forward to Wales' rugby

-league game over the weekend...

-..and look back 21 years

-to their last historic victory.

-This week, we're meeting

-the six finalists...

-..in the 2016

-Bryn Terfel Scholarship.

-Tonight it's the turn

-of Steffan Rhys Hughes.

-My guest joins me to discuss

-Breast Cancer Awareness Month...

-..and hopes to turn Wales pink.

-Heulwen Haf,

-welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-I don't have any champagne for you.

-I'd rather be with him.

-Thank you, Heulwen.

-We'll chat later in the programme.

-On Saturday, S4C broadcasts

-the Wales v Serbia match...

-..in the Rugby League

-World Cup qualifier.

-The match is being played

-at Stebonheath Park in Llanelli.

-Wales is the European Champion and

-aims to qualify for the World Cup...

-..in Australia and Papua New Guinea

-next year.

-It's the first national game to be

-broadcast since the 1995 World Cup.

-That was a historic year

-for rugby league in Wales...

-..and Wales reached the semi-finals

-only to be beaten by England...

-..in front of 50,000 fans

-at Old Trafford.

-Owain Gwynedd looks forward to

-the game and reminisces about 1995.

-On Saturday, Wales' rugby league

-team play Serbia...

-..in their first 2017 World Cup

-qualifying match.

-Today, I'm at Sardis Road

-in Pontypridd...

-..to meet former Wales

-international, Geraint Davies.

-Geraint won 11 caps for Wales

-between 2008 and 2011...

-..scoring one try.

-The lad from Llanelli has fond

-memories of playing Serbia.

-We played Serbia away in 2009.

-It was a tough game out there.

-They were a big side despite

-lacking experience at that time.

-We went to Belgrade and learnt a bit

-about the country's history...

-..and about the war.

-It was a tough match...

-..but unfortunately,

-despite scoring 88 points...

-..I didn't score a try!

-It just so happens that Saturday's

-game is exactly 21 years...

-..since Wales' unforgettable victory

-at the 1995 Rugby League World Cup.

-The match against Western Samoa

-was a huge game.

-The winners would play England

-in the World Cup semi-final.

-We had beaten France and this game

-was down at the Vetch in Swansea.

-The crowd was incredible

-and there was a superb atmosphere.

-The game was very physical.

-People still come up to me...

-..and tell me they've never seen

-such a physically tough match.

-We won and that's probably

-the biggest game ever in Wales...

-..and why people remember it.

-Everybody recognizes that team.

-Jonathan Davies, Kevin Ellis,

-John Devereux and Alan Bateman.

-Also, Dai Young and Scott Quinnell.

-Will Wales beat Serbia on Saturday?

-I think it will be tough with Serbia

-strong for the first 20 minutes.

-I think Wales' skill and experience

-will win the day.

-My head and heart

-says Wales on the weekend.

-I think it will be tough.

-Both of those teams have

-Australian-based players.

-Wales also have a lot of injuries...

-..and some players will tend

-to pull out after a long season.

-Geraint won't be

-on the pitch on Saturday.

-He'll be in the commentator's box.

-I had a career-ending injury

-whilst playing out in France.

-It's disappointing but everyone's

-career comes to an end one day.

-I'm glad I can stay in the game.

-I still have many friends

-in the game.

-I'll be supporting Wales

-on the weekend.

-You're doing more than that -

-you're commentating on S4C!

-Are you looking forward

-to commentating?

-Yes, and it's in Llanelli

-and I'm a local lad.

-I'm looking forward to my first game

-down in Stebonheath...

-..home of the Raiders.

-I'm sure it will be a good game.

-Enjoy the job

-and thank you very much.

-You're welcome.

-Good luck to Wales.

-The programme starts at 2.45pm

-on Saturday with kick-off at 3.00pm.

-There's Welsh commentary and English

-commentary via the red button.

-My studio guest tonight

-is the delightful, Heulwen Haf.

-Heulwen joins me to discuss

-Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

-It's close to your heart.

-This is very close to my heart

-and to my chest.

-So many have suffered

-from breast cancer.

-This is an important month.

-I would like to tell you about

-Claire Smart.

-She has helped to raise 150,000.

-The money will go towards

-a special unit in Cwm Taf...

-..for women and men

-who suffer from breast cancer.

-This will enable people

-to be seen sooner.

-It will be a specialist unit.

-It will be a special unit and it

-will turn the heads of others.

-It can be very frightening.

-The treatment you receive following

-the diagnosis is also important.

-Some of us want to do a lot.

-We all deal with it differently.

-Many can't deal with the diagnosis.

-The pink campaign ahs been going for

-a while.

-The purchasing of pink items

-have happened for many years.

-Eight years ago,

-I had breast cancer.

-I've seen a big change

-over recent years.

-People are more open about it.

-People are happier

-to share their stories.

-I understand those who don't want to

-share their stories.

-It's down to the individual.

-It goes through all ages.

-Well done to all of those who have

-shared their stories.

-It's also about celebration.

-It is a month to raise awareness

-and to celebrate.

-We want to turn Cwm Taf pink

-on Friday.

-Claire Smart

-had this wonderful idea.

-Everyone will be wearing pink.

-The police, schools, the mayor,

-business and shops...

-..will turn Cwm Taf pink.

-We hope to raise 30,000 on Friday.

-It has helped me to help others.

-We cheer people up.

-I don't carry the pressure

-of cancer on my shoulders.

-We had an ultimate ladies lunch

-recently...

-..and we managed to raise 16,000 in

-the one dinner.

-I sold myself in the auction.

-Someone else encouraged me to do it.

-Hywel James was the auctioneer.

-I was worried that nobody

-would pay money for me.

-This lady chose to pay 250

-to have afternoon tea with me.

-People are so generous.

-She paid for a table of ten of us to

-have afternoon tea.

-Thank you, Heulwen.

-Yesterday, many schools across Wales

-celebrated T Llew Jones Day.

-Pupils from Ysgol T Llew Jones

-in Llandysul marked the day...

-..by dressing as their favourite

-character of the famous author.

-Thanks to Rhian Lloyd

-for sending us their photographs.

-After the break...

-..Huw is at the opening night

-of the tenth Iris Prize Festival.

-We also meet Steffan Rhys Hughes...

-..another competitor in the Bryn

-Terfel Scholarship this weekend.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-The Iris Prize Festival is an

-established event in the calendar...

-..that celebrates lesbian, gay,

-bisexual and transgender films.

-It's the only short film prize

-that allows the winner...

-..to make a new film in the UK

-with the prize package of 30,000.

-The festival is ten years old

-and Huw is at the opening night.

-Hello and welcome to Cardiff.

-It promises to be a good evening as

-we're going to see many great films.

-Bethan Marlow has written one

-of the Welsh films.

-Yes, it's the only one shown

-tonight...

-..and is part of the Straeon Iris

-scheme which is launched this year.

-Tell us more about the film.

-It's a love story, which I hope

-everyone will be able to relate to.

-It's a real story

-in a surreal world.

-The couple face a

-terrible situation.

-When you wrote this did you think

-of it for a gay couple...

-..or is it just a love story

-which is relatable to all?

-The festival is open to all.

-Yes and I believe that is why the

-festival is so successful.

-It was a competition and

-I wanted to write a love story...

-..which was specific for two women.

-I hope the story is relatable to

-all as it's about the relationship.

-Are you excited to see any of

-the films in particular?

-I can't wait to see the collection

-of British Shorts.

-Berwyn Rowlands discussed the

-festival and the exhibition earlier.

-Let's find out a bit more

-about the Iris Prize Festival.

-The Iris Prize Festival

-started in 2007...

-to the original concept.

-There are hundreds, maybe thousands,

-of film festivals across the world.

-We didn't want to add to

-that long list.

-Our idea was to share stories on

-the big screen and produce films.

-That's why, every year, we award

-one film with the Iris Prize.

-That prize of 30,000 helps the

-filmmaker to make a new short film.

-We've made eight short films to date

-and some have been very successful.

-One film won an award

-at the Sundance Film Festival.

-To celebrate our tenth year...

-..we focused on the work

-of the photographer, Jon Pountney.

-Jon has been with us

-from the very start.

-Jon has recorded

-all of the festivals...

-..but more importantly,

-all the short films too.

-We've got a collection

-of Jon's favourite photographs.

-The collection tours in 2017 with

-the help of the British Council.

-Adrian Naik has also made a film of

-the collection of photographs...

-..of the short films.

-There's a film of the photographs

-of the films.

-It sounds complicated

-but it's not.

-That film is shown every night

-during the festival at 6.30pm.

-We've had ten years

-and hope to have another ten years.

-We don't take anything for granted.

-I admit it's been a success

-but we've taken it very seriously.

-We have a lot of fun but still

-raise questions about what we do.

-Consulting the audience about the

-Iris Prize Festival is important.

-We want to make the festival in

-Cardiff a pleasurable experience.

-We've already heard of the

-developments over the past 10 years.

-Many people are a part

-of the festival these days.

-Malan Wilkinson is a part

-of the panel.

-Welcome, Malan.

-Welcome, Malan.

-

-Thank you, Huw.

-Tell us about your role.

-I'm on the international panel and

-I've admired the festival from afar.

-It sounds easy,

-but I doubt it will be.

-We have to choose one main prize

-winner and a recommended selection.

-What do the winners

-get from the festival?

-It's a fantastic experience

-and a great platform.

-Wales appreciates

-The Iris Prize Festival.

-It's a great experience to be a part

-of a festival like this.

-The festival has developed so much

-over the past few years.

-It has been promoted

-by BAFTA to the A list...

-..and was chosen as a top 50 film

-festival by Movie Make Magazine.

-It has been quite the challenge...

-..when you remember that the

-festival started with an individual.

-The Iris Prize Festival

-has developed incredibly.

-I'm grateful to be a part of it.

-I hope you enjoy viewing

-the 30 films.

-I can't wait to see the two

-films being shown later.

-Back to you in the studio.

-Thank you, Huw.

-On Sunday, the Stiwt Theatre

-at Rhosllanerchrugog will be full...

-not wrath nor anger #

-My program is one that I enjoy

-and has some unexpected elements.

-I hope to surprise a few people

-but that they enjoy it too.

-It would be an honour...

-..to put the winner of the

-Bryn Terfel Scholarship on my CV.

-# Despite burying the wounds

-for many years

-# The scars are still felt #

-Good luck to Steffan.
