Wales has a long association with the film and TV industry, but this extends far beyond simply providing a backdrop for iconic films and television shows. Its growing list of credits in cult and blockbuster productions is about more than place and landscape, it’s about culture and innovation within a thriving industry.
In Film and TV Places of Wales Celyn Jones and Frances Turpin zoom in on Wales’ cultural and artistic links to cinema. Through stunning location shots and behind-the-scenes content, they explore TV favourites, Hollywood epics and homegrown classics from Wales’ varied on-screen history.
