What films are spoken in welsh?

While there are many films set in Wales and featuring Welsh characters, there are relatively few films *entirely* spoken in Welsh. Here are some notable examples:

Feature Films:

* Hedd Wyn (1992): A critically acclaimed film about a young Welsh poet killed in World War I.

* The Phantom of the Opera (1925): While this silent film is primarily known for its English version, it was originally filmed in Welsh.

* The Last Dragonslayer (1984): A fantasy film featuring a fair amount of Welsh dialogue.

* The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006): This Oscar-winning Irish film features some Welsh dialogue.

* Y Mabinogi (2007): A fantasy film based on Welsh mythology.

* The Rite (2011): A horror film set in Wales with some Welsh dialogue.

* Yr Anrheithwyr (The Raiders, 2013): A Welsh-language action film.

Note: This is not an exhaustive list, and new Welsh-language films are being made all the time. You can find more information about Welsh-language films on the website of S4C, the Welsh-language television channel.

Also, keep in mind:

* While the number of films entirely in Welsh is relatively small, many films set in Wales feature some Welsh dialogue or characters.

* The Welsh film industry is growing, and there is a increasing demand for films in the Welsh language.

If you are interested in watching Welsh-language films, you can often find them online through streaming services or on DVD. S4C also has a dedicated website for its films, which you can access at [https://www.s4c.cymru/](https://www.s4c.cymru/).
