Mark Griffiths: Hollow Mountain

  • YMa 28 Taff Street Pontypridd, Wales, CF37 4TR United Kingdom (map)

Hollow Mountain, by Mark Griffiths follows the lives of several people impacted by the expansion of the Craig Yr Hesg quarry, near the Glyncoch housing estate in Pontypridd.

The film explores the effects of quarry blasting, silica dust, and the steady loss of green space surrounding the community of Glyncoch. It raises urgent questions about harmful decisions made by those in power, and the lasting consequences for both the fragile landscape and the people living in its shadow.

Alongside the film:

  • A photographic exhibition will document the people involved in the campaign.

  • A live performance by voice artist Fiona Cullen, who has written and composed a powerful song in response to the injustice faced by the community.

Programme:
5:00 – 5:45 pm | Arrival & Networking reception & bar
6:10 pm | Welcome & Introduction (with guest speakers)
6:25 pm | Hollow Mountain Screening
7:20 pm | Q&A Session

Come and be part of an evening of film, photography, and performance that gives voice to a community too often overlooked.
