WHAT’S ON OUR RADAR THIS MONTH.
FOOTBALL AND FILM JOIN
forces in Jack To A King – a
documentary based on the
successes and losses of Swansea
City Football Club over the past
decade. Directed by the BAFTA
award-winning Marc Evans, the
film follows the story of a group of
fans who helped to save the nearly
bankrupt club. It tells the tale of
how the club went from being sold
for £1 to making the £90 million
promotion to the Premier League.
You can catch a screening of the film
at Pontardawe Arts Centre on Wed
22 Oct and catch a post-show Q&A
with the film's executive producer
Mal Pope. Tickets: £3.

EVENT
THE FESTIVAL CONGRESS
•
For keen festival goers, helpers and staff the AIF (Association of Independent Festivals) has
created the brand spanking new Festival Congress: a two-day festival conference which
includes panels, exhibitions and parties that will be celebrating the thriving independent
festival scene. With an awards party that will be thanking all those that work to keep the
Festival Season thriving, it’s a great opportunity for teams to come together to celebrate
with a three-course meal, music, entertainment and an afterparty. The event will run
alongside the Dim Swn festival, which takes place on Sat 18 Oct, so there'll be discounted
tickets if you decide to attend both events. Inspiring speakers
