When I went to the site, I thought that it is an unique take on a film festival.

For those who can ********** "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" will be shown at Rhodius Park as part of the Movies in the Park series on June 21st. *********** http://www.indy.com/posts/8812

Thanks for the information. :) Unfortunately I can't go there for sure. But MAYBE this summer, in the little (bad quality :mrgreen: ) kind of "drivin'in" cinema we've got here in my city, I will be able to see "Fantastic 4, Rise Of The Silver Surfer". :clap: Not sure though.

Here's a scan of the South Wales Echo article (Saturday, pg. 4) about Ioan's support of the film festival: clickable

Thanks for the scan, Muvidlover. Nice to hear Ioan lent his support of a film festival in Wales, isn't it?

Hopefully, he will. It would make sense that he attended the event, given his support of it.

Thank you Muvidlover. :hug I love scans from newspapers like this one. Good job! Well I am SURE he will attend the event. But we'll have to wait a bit... it seems (end of november). :???: :mrgreen:

Thanks Muvidlover. I agree Frances, its nice to hear that he's continuing to support Welsh cultural events. Hopefully, his schedule will permit him to be there for a part of the festival.

Thanks Annee and Fran. great stories!!!!!

Hi, Really nice to hear of Boy-o's support for the film festival in his homeland. Have no doubts that he will attend,if not this year,then very soon thereafter. He's always spoken so fondly of his home country, it would seem natural for him to want to support such an event, if his schedule allows.

I'm afraid - apart from afew words at the Welsh Baftas - I have to reluctantly agree with you, Havoc :hmm: but I suppose he was missing it a lot in the early days; now that he's more settled in the US, maybe he doesn't feel the need to talk about it. Like many of us who live far away from where we grew up, I'm guessing it holds a special place in his heart, yet.

He has mentioned it several times just in the last few months. Off the top of my head besides the Film Festival: He got up early with other Welsh expatriates to watch Wales rugby win Six Nations and watched some of it with Sean Connery while in N.Y. He filmed the Congratulations videotape for the rugby team with Matthew Rhys and Ioan spoke in Welsh throughout the message. He flew back to Wales just about a month and a half ago to accept an award from the Welsh BAFTA's and it was commented that he inspired Welsh pride by giving his acceptance speech in Welsh (either the only or one of the few.) There may be others, but I don't have the time to look it up right now.

Blimey, you're right, GG! (heels forehead) How could I skip over that beatiful Welsh speech??????? Oh, the shame of it! (skulks away.)
