Did you wander down to the pine woods behind the Walled Garden this
year? There, you could explore the narrative of a fake cowboy town
inside Welsh visual artist Kathyrn Ashill's new commission Gunsmoke
City. The work is based on a real Gunsmoke City in the Swansea
Valleys village of Seven Sisters - an unlikely setting for the
masculine idyll of the Wild West. Themes of the frontier and
escapism are pushed through the imagery in the film and the set.
Moving-image depicts Drag Kings playing the leading cowboy figures,
a tongue in cheek critique of the genre of the Western and gender
norms, and the work incorporates hand-painted animation. Gunsmoke
City is commissioned with thanks to GS Artists Swansea. Kathryn
chats to creative producer Cathy Boyce about bringing the work to
the festival site, and visual arts producer Lexi Stevens tells us
how she supports artists at Green Man. Acclaimed British
filmmaker Carol Morley (The Falling, Dreams of a Life) tells
Cinedrome curator Jason Solomons about her new film ‘Artist Typist
Pirate King’. This dark and funny road movie starring Kelly
Macdonald as Sandra and the wonderful Monica Dolan as overlooked
artist Audrey Amiss. Green Man Rising finalists and Cardiff
noise creators Hyll chat to comedian Jonny Williams. Calling their
sound "shambolic chaos", the Welsh language rock band formed around
2016. They've gained a reputation for their catchy melodies and
explosive, energetic live sets, leaving a trail of sweat, smashed
sticks, and scorched earth in their wake.
