Carmarthen Bay Film Festival has gone from strength to strength over the years, and will be returning for its fifth festival in May.
From their first festival in 2012, they went from 35 submissions to 208 in their 2015 festival. Not only have the submissions increased over the years but the number of film makers and festival patrons attending has as well.
They have had film makers flying in from LA, Miami, Germany, Italy, France and many parts of the UK. The number of festival partners has also grown with Stradey Park Hotel, RTS Wales, S4C, Sony, Pinnacle, Final Draft, University of Wales Valley Mill, Felin Foel Brewery and many more joining them this year, some for the second and third time.
The festival is now a BAFTA Cymru/Wales qualifying festival, which means that any film screened during the festival and made here in Wales is eligible to apply to be considered for a BAFTA Cymru award.
The 2016 festival which will be held at the famous 4-star Stradey Park Hotel in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, is already looking very promising with submissions flooding in again from all over the world!
