Roll out the red carpet, practice that award winning speech – it’s time for the Care to Co-operate Film Festival

Candid Co-operatives Caught on Camera

‘Care to Co-operate Studios’ and celebrities of the co-operative universe (well, Wales), have exclusively co-operated to bring you co-operatives on camera.

After many months behind a lens, we are happy to say “that’s a wrap!” Here’s what made the final cut…

Our Premiere

Building a Co-operative Care Sector for Wales

Co-operatives across Wales are creating a sustainable care and support in our communities – and we need to shout about it! Featuring an all-star cast from Cartrefi Cymru Co-operative, Cwtch Together and Vision 21.

The Critics Choice

A film festival wouldn’t be one without more to see, so check out this star-studded line up of cinematic co-operators…

◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

Our star of the north is ‘Flintshire DO IT’. The co-operative creates new community services – different from traditional and prescriptive – that are fun and inclusive. As Mark (supporting role and Co-Director) says it’s all about co-production… “We’ve created a community band, we’ve run community cinema schemes – it’s whatever people are interested in.”

Representing our capital city of Cardiff is ‘Cwtch Together’. A co-operative of parents and carers that runs a Saturday play scheme for children with learning disabilities, their siblings and families.

Behind the scenes, we caught up with Sarah (featured actor and Secretary) – “We get ideas from what the children want to do, and that is the reason for messy play today. It is all child-led activities.”

◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

Local legends of Neath Port Talbot, ‘Me, Myself and I’, complete our film festival line up. The co-operative provides support for people living with memory loss.

We asked Anita (lead heroine and founding member) about Care to Co-operate… “We’ve worked together in partnership. Every time I have a question they’re there to guide us. I honestly don’t know where we be without them.”

Gosodwch y carped coch, ymarfer yr araith derbyn gwobr – mae amser Gŵyl Ffilm Cydweithredu i Ofalu

Dal Cydweithredwyr ar Gamera

Mae ‘Stiwdios Cydweithredu i Ofalu’ ac enwogion y bydysawd cydweithredol (wel, Cymru), wedi cydweithredu’n arbennig i ddod â chwmnïau cydweithredol i chi ar gamera.

Ar ôl misoedd lawer y tu ôl i lens, rydym yn falch o ddweud “dyna’r diwedd!” Dyma beth wnaeth gyrraedd y ffilm derfynol…

◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

Ein Premiere

Creu sector gofal cydweithredol i Gymru

Mae cwmnïau cydweithredol ar hyd a lled Cymru yn creu gofal a chymorth cynaliadwy yn ein cymunedau – ac mae angen i ni floeddio ynghylch hynny! Mae’n cynnwys cast o sêr o Gydweithfa Cartrefi Cymru, Cwtch Together a Vision 21.

Dewis y Beirniaid

Ni fyddai gŵyl ffilmiau yn un gwerth chweil heb fwy i’w weld, felly edrychwch ar y llu o gydweithredwyr sy’n sêr sinematig…

◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

Ein seren o’r gogledd yw ‘Flintshire DO IT’. Mae’r cwmni cydweithredol yn creu gwasanaethau cymunedol newydd – yn wahanol i rai traddodiadol a rhagnodol – sy’n hwyl ac yn gynhwysol.

Fel y dywed Mark (rôl gefnogol a Chyd-gyfarwyddwr) mae’n ymwneud â chyd- gynhyrchu… “Rydym wedi creu band cymunedol, rydym wedi rhedeg cynlluniau sinema cymunedol – beth bynnag mae gan bobl ddiddordeb ynddo.”

◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

Mae ‘Cwtch Together’ yn cynrychioli Caerdydd, ein prifddinas. Mae’n gwmni cydweithredol o rieni a gofalwyr sy’n rhedeg cynllun chwarae Sadwrn i blant ag anableddau dysgu, eu brodyr a’u chwiorydd a’u teuluoedd.

Y tu ôl i’r llenni, cawsom air gyda Sarah (prif actor ac Ysgrifennydd) – “Rydym yn cael syniadau o’r hyn y mae’r plant eisiau ei wneud, a dyna’r rheswm dros gynnal gweithgaredd llanast llon heddiw. Gweithgareddau a arweinir gan y plant ydyn nhw i gyd.”

◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊

Arwyr lleol Castell-nedd Port Talbot, ‘Me, Myself and I’, yw’r criw olaf yn ein gŵyl ffilm.

Mae’r cwmni cydweithredol yn darparu cefnogaeth i bobl sy’n colli’u cof. Gofynnwyd i Anita ( prif arwres ac aelod gwreiddiol) am Cydweithredu i Ofalu… “Rydym wedi cydweithio mewn partneriaeth. Bob tro mae gen i gwestiwn maen nhw yno i’n harwain ni. Wn i ddim ble fyddem ni hebddyn nhw.”

Eisiau gwylio mwy? Yna edrychwch ar ein sianel YouTube!
