Film Festivals

​St Elvan's has been host venue for a wide range of community film festivals and events

Founded at St Elvan's in 2022, Cynon Valley Film Festival ran from October 14-16 2022 and was repeated on October 11th & 12th 2023

The Snowman Live was founded in December 2022 and continues to be held annually as part of our Christmas celebrations

The inaugural "Haggarfest" festival of silent film will take place on Saturday October 19th, and thereafter run at St Elvan's each October. Celebrating Aberdare's rich film heritage this new annual celebration focuses on the pioneering work of Aberdare's own William Haggar, together with other silent movie pioneers, and celebrates Wales and Cynon Valley's place in history at the cutting edge of early filmmaking

The festival will feature presentations and talks, and the performance of live music with early silent film screenings
