Film School
Film School
A week-long filmmaking workshop led by industry professionals for young people (ages 12–18) to discover the myths, legends, and local history of Dolgellau—and bring them to life on screen.
We live in Tŷ Newyddion, a recently restored building in the heart of the town. Originally a music shop with guest rooms above it then became a newsagents and was famous regionally for the wide range of magazines it stocked.
Located on the ground floor of Tŷ Newyddion, Arloesi Dolgellau’s mission is to foster innovation, creativity, and collaboration within our community. Through our focus on knowledge-sharing, hands-on making, and entrepreneurial ventures, we aim to empower individuals to transform ideas into impactful actions. By providing accessible spaces, resources, and opportunities, we nurture local talent, promote sustainable solutions, and celebrate the rich cultural and technological potential of Dolgellau and its surrounding areas. Together, we are building a resilient, forward-thinking community that values learning, making, and meaningful connections.
