Tune
for The Blood at
the Festival of British Cinema 2012
Sunday September 23, 2pm at Talgarth Town Hall
We are thrilled to be part of the 4th Festival of British Cinema which is extending its reach to Talgarth in Wales, where we will be screening Tune for the Blood. We are hoping that some Wales YFC members might come along and contribute to the discussion!
This is what the Festival Organisers say:
'This year the festival has adopted the slogan BIGGER,
BOLDER, BETTER and to this end has added new venues at
the Talgarth Town Hall and the fabulous new Booths Cinema in
Brook Street, Hay on Wye as well as returning to the Hay Parish
Hall.
It promises to be an exciting festival this year covering
everything from 'Tune of the Blood', a moving documentary
about the life of young Herefordshire farmers, to 'The Music
Lovers', a tribute to the late and great Ken Russell. '

Meanwhile, last night we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening at a screening which was part of the Abergavenny Food Festival Fringe. Christine Hope and Ben Pritchard joined me in an interesting Q&A session with a lovely audience. It was moderated by Dave Phillips who was also the projectionist. Big thanks to both Dave and Carol Phillips who organised the screening and did the marketing legwork. They are part of a team who run the Abergavenny Film Society and to find out more about the film society, click HERE.

Our new purchase and hiring facility is really easy to use. Just go to the Buy the DVD or Organise Your Own Screening pages follow the simple steps. You can also contact us if you would like to have the film-maker or 'cast' come along for a Q&A or a discussion.
We've had great feedback from audiences who have welcomed the chance to engage with the young farmers in the film. They come with a hands-on experience of working the land, dealing with the 'business' of farming, engaging with new technology and social media, and working as rural entrepreneurs as well as bringing their passion and eloquence to any discussion. If you would like to add a Q&A or discussion to your screening, get in touch with us.

Dairy Crisis as farmgate price for milk is cut
2012-07-19 00:00:00
Tune for the Blood features a young dairy farmer, Jono Rogers, who is now just completing the building of his new milking parlour. In the film,  ![]() he explains some of the challenges facing small traditional family run dairy farms and the difficult decisions that go into making a major investment such as the construction of a new parlour. Like many other family run dairy businesses, he loves his animals and is passionate about building his pedigree herd. If we want to keep these traditional farms, we need to support our dairy farmers. Don't buy your milk at Morrisons, Asda and the Co-op. Put pressure on local shops and supermarkets to charge a fair price for milk.
Support for the farmers is growing. Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall are calling for better treatment of dairy farmers. For more information about the dairy crisis, check our facebook page for links where you can find out about what is happening in the dairy industry and how you can show your support.
