Dischromatics Sponsors Media Academy Wales Welcome

A special screening of the new feature documentary Separado took place at Cineworld Cinema in Cardiff as part of the Media Academy Wales Welcome Event for representative students from Media Academy's twenty-six courses for a single night of inspiration as well as networking. The film Separado, which was co-directed by Dylan Goch and Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals fame, features Gryff's quest to go to Patagonia to find his 'long lost' uncle, the poncho wearing Rene Griffiths. The film is described in various ways from 'Star Trek meets Buena Vista', a 'Psychedelic Folktale' to a 'Postmodern Pseudo Documentary'. In 1974 Rene reached Wales becoming an overnight sensation using his Welsh love songs accompanied by South American Flamenco, something unheard of at that time. Separado tells account of Gryff's ancestral family who were torn apart after a horse race in 1880 which brought about the unexplained death of a distant relative of Gryff's forebears. Following this incident a part of the family moved to Patagonia in South America where they settled and made their house. There was already a Welsh settlement in Patagonia at a place known as Bahia Blanca. The Argentine Government had agreed to this is a significant settlement which was first occupied by 200 Welsh immigrants in 1865. At the time it suited the Argentinean Government, who were in dispute light and portable Chilean Government this land and he's talking about Welsh settlement insert them in control of a massive tract of domain. In the film, Rhys travels to Patagonia via Brazil and Southern Argentina as part of his 'solo' South American Tour. However, this is not really typical tour along with the documentary is accomplish typical road movie. Naturally, bearing in mind the family connections to Patagonia and Rene Griffiths you will find a certain amount of self-indulgence but this adds interest towards the film rather than detract from the situation.
