The "Village Screen" has been developed by the London 2012 Creative programmers as a way of providing a new platform for emerging filmmakers to show their work.
Over 85 hours of film from across the UK regions and Nations will be shown over five days [Wednesday the 24th to Sunday 28th June] and will be a wonderful way of engaging large audiences with London 2012 and the Cultural Olympiad.
The seventeen films selected from Wales include animation, documentary and live action films made by young people aged 8-18, a range of student films, professional short films and some low budget features.
The Welsh films will be broadcast on a huge 25m2 double-sided screen at the "meeting point" [one of the busiest junctions on site] on Saturday, ensuring every one of the 350,000 people at the festival will have the films in view.

Wales Creative Programmer, Gwyn L Williams said,
"This is a wonderful opportunity for young film makers from all over the UK and a great example of how the Cultural Olympiad is beginning to grab the imagination of young people.
Film 15 has done a fantastic job in compiling 17 Welsh made films which will be shown at one of the greatest festivals in the world."
