Did you know
- TriviaChosen by the British Academy of Film and Television to represent the UK in the "Best Foreign Language Film" category at the 2003 Oscars only after the AMPAA took the highly unusual step of rejecting the UK's initial entry The Warrior (2001) because, although the latter film had a British-born director (of Indian ancestry) and was co-produced by three British companies, the film did not qualify as British since "Hindi was not a language indigenous to the U.K."
Featured review
Eldra and the Welsh Gypsy musical tradition
I saw Eldra at Welsh Heritage Week in 2005, which was held in Golden, Colorado that year. We had the delightful experience of not only viewing the film, but an opportunity to listen to the beautiful music (and bad jokes) of Robin Huw Bowen. Bowen is the premier player of the triple harp in the world today.
Bowen studied with Eldra Roberts Jarman and he has carried into the modern world the traditional music that she knew and preserved. Eldra was from a very musical family of Gypsies/Romany in North Wales. Her grandfather, aunts, and 9 of 10 uncles were prize- winning professional harpists.
My experience of the film is that it captures the sweetness of first love, and also exposes racial and religious prejudice that is both local and universal.
Eldra won at the previous year's Moondance International Film Festival in Boulder, Colorado.
