Llandovery Sheep Festival & Llandovery Community Cinema Present:
“Notes from Sheepland”
A Special Screening in Celebration of All Things Woolly!
Llandovery Sheep Festival and Llandovery Community Cinema are delighted to announce the next film in its 2025 environmental series, with a special screening of Notes from Sheepland on Saturday 13th September at the Rhys Prichard Memorial Hall.
This heartwarming and thought-provoking documentary follows the lipstick, always swearing, no nonsense, artist and shepherd, Orla Barry. Through her fields in rural Ireland, her digital diaries, and the pedigree sheep she cares for, we discover how the art is in the doing.
Film Ireland calls Notes from Sheepland “one of the most mesmerising pieces of film I have seen in some time... completely spellbinding”.
Yet, while the film invites audiences on a journey through the pastoral beauty of sheep farming and its ties to sustainable living, it does not shy away from the harsh realities of the industry and the financial hardships faced by farmers all over the UK.
Evening Schedule:
5:30 PM – Doors Open
6:00 PM – Shared Community Meal - bring a plate and drinks to share.
7:00 PM – Screening of Notes from Sheepland, followed by a special post-film discussion
with local experts in the field (pun intended)
The event promises an engaging and communal evening, bringing together film, food, and
conversation in celebration of our rural heritage and environmental consciousness. That’s why we have partnered with the much-loved Llandovery Sheep Festival, to kick off a sheep-themed September. www.llandoverysheepfestival.com
This screening of Notes from Sheepland is made possible with support from the National Lottery Community Fund / Awards for All.
The screening also forms part of a year-long initiative funded by Ffilm Cymru, enabling Llandovery Community Cinema to showcase environmentally themed films and Welsh language films throughout 2025. Notes from Sheepland continues the cinema’s mission to
spark dialogue and connection around local and global ecological issues.
Join us for an evening of blending culture, sustainability and community spirit all under one roof.
Tickets are just £5 and can be purchased on the door (subject to availability), in person at the LYCC (Market Square, Llandovery) or online via the link below: www.bit.ly/notesfromsheepland

Mae’r ffilm ddogfen wresog a chynhyrfus hon yn dilyn yr artist a’r bugail Orla Barry –un sy’n lliwgar, di-flewyn-ar-dafod, ac yn swynol o onest. Drwy’i chaeau yng nghefn gwlad Iwerddon,ei dyddiaduron digidol, a’r defaid bonheddig y mae’n gofalu amdanynt, cawn ein harwaini ddarganfod sut mae’r celfyddyd yn y gweithredu ei hun.
Dywedodd Film Ireland fod Notes from Sheepland yn “un o’r darnau mwyaf hudolus o ffilmrydw i wedi’u gweld ers amser maith... cwbl swynol.”Ond er bod y ffilm yn gwahodd cynulleidfaoedd ar daith drwy brydferthwch bugeilio a’igysylltiadau â byw’n gynaliadwy, nid yw’n osgoi’r realiti chwerw o fewn y diwydiant na’r calediariannol sy’n wynebu ffermwyr ledled y DU.
