Saving the Cinema, Capturing Communities, Translating a Classic and a Cardiff Comeback Album

Gary Raymond and guest critics review the Welsh arts and popular culture scene. This month - film, photography, Welsh dystopian fiction in translation and a comeback album.

Gary Raymond and guest critics review the Welsh arts and popular culture scene. This month Gary is joined by academic Daniel G Williams and critic and writer Caragh Medlicott.

The panel explore feelgood film Save the Cinema, the Sky movie starring Samantha Morton as Liz Evans, the community champion who saved the Lyric Theatre in her home town of Carmarthen...with a little help from Steven Spielberg.

They give their views on Manon Steffan Ros' new English translation of her multi award-winning dystopian Young Adult novel The Blue Book of Nebo and discuss The Village - David Wilson's striking photographic portrait of a year in the life of the community of Llangwm in Pembrokeshire.

And Gary and guests hear 2001 - the comeback album from Cardiff band The Vanities which puts a new spin on the sounds of the 80s and 90s.
