<div>Tyskennow Kernow is a feature-length DVD of short films made in Cornwall and about Cornwall. Some are even in the Cornish language – but do have English subtitles. Tyskennow means ‘sheaf’ in Cornish, an accurate description for the miscellany 10 films on the 104 minute DVD.
The selection has something for all the family to sit back and enjoy.There are slingers and threshers, troubled chefs, a tempting devil, a Cornish-speaking rabbit, nine hundred flags, two riotous old ladies telling dirty jokes, a plea for the liberation of Cornwall, and a piece of archive newsreel from 1964. The selection includes the winner of last year’s Govynn Kernewek award, and there’s first-ever Cornish language animation for pre-school children. Please see below for the full list of films included on the DVD.
The DVD has been produced by Denzil Monk and Bethany Sagar-Fenton for awen productions, a community interest company based in Cornwall, specialising in film and media production with a strong social agenda. They are selling the DVD, in order to raise funds for the Cornish Language Film Production Govynn Kernewek Award, which is presented at the Cornwall Film Festival.There are plans to produce a similar DVD annually, so this particular compilation is the start of a series – helping to support the future of film making in Cornwall, and reducing dependence on grant funding.
Tyskennow Kernow can be purchased direct on line from www.awen.org.uk for £12.99 + P&P, or at selected stores throughout Cornwall for £14.99. 95% of profits will go towards the Govynn Kernewek award, and 5% to the South West Film and Television Archive.
