The Passing (2015)

Yr Ymadawiad

When two young lovers crash their car into a ravine in the remote mountains of Wales, they are plunged into a lost world. Dragged from the river by a mysterious figure, they are taken to a ramshackle farm, a place untouched by time. As events unfold we learn the explosive truth about the young couple’s past. More unsettling still, we discover the ghostly truth about Stanley, and the tragedy of the valley he once called home.

Interesting facts

The Passing is a 2015 Welsh drama film directed by Gareth Bryn and written by Ed Talfan. It had its UK premiere on 10 March 2016 at the Wales One World (WOW) Film Festival in Aberystwyth, with a general release date of 8 April 2016.

Production

Talfan originally imagined the film to be without dialogue, but later conceded some talking would be required (though the first ten minutes of the film are without dialogue). The film was shot near Tregaron in West Wales. The film crew were based for four weeks in a disused school building without any mobile phone reception, which Bryn says instilled a necessary "siege mentality".

Back to back versions were recorded in Welsh and in English. Much of the film was recorded using hand held cameras and natural lighting.
