blodeuwedd  

The Morgan's farm is in the southwest region of the Brecon
Beacons National Park, and is the location of this film.
Through conversations with Ieuan and Ray Morgan the
Welsh Cob arose as a metaphor for and symbol of their lives.
The film features Blodeuwedd, one of their prizewinning
breeding mares.

Blodeuwedd is a film made to speak back, in an eloquent
daring, visual and even humourous way, to the powers that be
and the agencies that measure and regulate our landscape and
to the tourism campaign that presented Wales as a theme park !
It is proposed as a way to generate greater democracy,
perhaps even to promote peoples' involvement in politics
and to enable government to listen back to individuals and
interest groups.

Blodeuwedd is intended above all, to create a narrative that
speaks of lives lived here in this landscape known as Wales.
