Year by year the role of the Arts Centre continuesto develop and expand. The artistic programmeincluding the performing arts, literature, the visualarts and crafts, music and community arts is nowthe most comprehensive of any theatre or artscentre in Wales and with few parallels eventhroughout the UK.Through our CCAT Wales / Ireland culturalexchange programme we are building strong linksfor future cultural cooperation.The economic impact of the Arts Centre has beenrecognised through research and study as makinga significant contribution to the business profile ofthe region and to high quality employment,especially important in an area of below averageeconomic indicators and declining traditionalemployment patterns.These significant achievements will be used as aspringboard in developing the next exciting phaseof the Arts Centre's growth. This will encompasstheatre production and touring, a programme toencourage new writing talent in Mid and WestWales, a major New Media initiative and animaginative, major building development to providestudios and office spaces for arts organisations andartists, who will contribute, together with the ArtsCentre, to creating a vibrant cultural life for Wales.

Pob blwyddyn mae gwaith Canolfan y Celfyddydauyn parhau i ddatblygu ac ehangu. Rhaglen artistig yGanolfan bellach yw'r fwyaf cynhwysfawr mewnunrhyw theatr neu ganolfan yng Nghymru, gangynnwys y celfyddydau perfformio, llenyddiaeth, ycelfyddydau a chrefftau gweledol, cerddoriaeth a'rcelfyddydau cymunedol.

Trwy ein rhaglen cyfnewid diwylliannol sef CCATCymru / Iwerddon 'rydym yn adeiladu dolennau cyswlltcryf ar gyfer cydweithrediad diwylliannol yn y dyfodol.

It gives me great pleasure to introduce the Annualreport of the Aberystwyth Arts Centre. The centreplays an important role in the life and work of theUniversity and the region. It provides a uniquecontribution to cultural life in the area anddemonstrates the excellent relationship which existsbetween the University and the local community.The Arts Centre building is in itself a landmark butmore important is the wealth of activity which takesplace within it. This report describes the excitingprogramme and illustrates the wide range ofdevelopments which are underway. The visitor baseincreases steadily and the various aspects of theCentre's work demonstrate the commitment of thestaff and their innovative approach to facilitatingparticipation in the Arts.I am confident that the Arts Centre will continue toplay an essential role in the life of the University ofWales, Aberystwyth and to stimulate activities whichare both attractive and of high quality. I look forwardto its continued success and development.

Film is one of the major art forms of the 20th and 21stcentury and as such forms an important part of the artisticprogramming of the Centre. During the year we havescreened a wide ranging programme of film including classicsof cinema history, the best of UK and world cinema and haveencompassed work from small scale independent film makersto major Hollywood productions.

One of the main successes of the 2004/5 season was thecontinued growth of WOW! Wales One World Festival, which wasorganised by the Arts Centre in conjunction with Taliesin ArtsCentre with David Gillam as Co-ordinator. The festival’s aim is topromote film from primarily third world countries, which are oftenunder represented in general UK film programmes. The premiereof the festival was at the Arts Centre and the majority of filmsprogrammed here sold out and were very well received, with anassociated education programme for local schools. The films thenwent on to tour venues around Wales.

Ffresh, the Student Moving Image Festival for Wales, took placein Aberystwyth with over 500 students from throughout Walesshowcasing their work and taking part in discussions, workshopsand masterclasses. The festival was organised by Sgrin,Aberystwyth Arts Centre and NAHEMI.

Ffilm yw un o brif ffurfiau celf yr 20fed a’r unfed ganrif arhugain ac felly mae’n rhan bwysig o raglen artistig yGanolfan. Yn ystod y flwyddyn ‘rydym wedi sgrinioamrywiaeth helaeth o ffilmiau gan gynnwys clasuron yn hanesy sinema a’r gorau o sinema Prydain a’r byd. ‘Rydym wedicynnwys gwaith gan wneuthurwyr ffilm bach annibynnol ynogystal â phrif gynyrchiadau Hollywood.

Un o brif lwyddiannau 2004/5 oedd tyfiant cyson yr Wyl FfilmiauCymru a’r Byd sef WOW! a drefnwyd gan y Ganolfan mewncydweithrediad â Chanolfan Gelf Taliesin gyda David Gillam ynGydlynydd. Prif amcan yr wyl yw i hyrwyddo ffilm yn bennaf owledydd y trydydd byd sydd fel arfer yn cael eu gadael allan oraglennu ffilm ym Mhrydain. Cafwyd derbyniad brwd i’r rhan fwyafo’r ffilmiau a ddangoswyd yn y Ganolfan a chafwyd yn ogystalraglen addysgiadol gysylltiedig ar gyfer ysgolion lleol. Wedyn aethy ffilmiau ar daith i wahanol leoliadau yng Nghymru.

Cynhaliwyd Ffresh, Gwyl Delweddau Symudol Flynyddol Cymru argyfer Myfyrwyr, yn Aberystwyth gyda thros 500 o fyfyrwyr o bobran o Gymru yn dangos eu gwaith ac yn cymryd rhan mewntrafodaethau, gweithdai a dosbarthiadau meistr. Trefnwyd yr wylgan Sgrin, Canolfan y Celfyddydau a NAHEMI.
