We’re proud to announce the four filmmakers who are creating Welsh language films for AmCam2 – the second edition of Am’s digital film festival!
Thanks to Arts Council of Wales for the support.
The films are coming soon – but in the meantime, get to know Gwenno, Hannah, Lauren and Lily:
Gwenno Llwyd Till
Gwenno Llwyd Till is a filmmaker and artist from Nant Gwynant, North Wales. She specialises in analogue photography, social documentary, and nostalgic narrative short films. Through Archif – The Welsh Artists Archive, an ongoing social documentary photography project, she aims to highlight the stories of underrepresented artists in North Wales. By sharing photographic essays, interviews, and short films, Archif not only celebrates the region’s vibrant creativity but also fosters connections within the arts community, making the arts feel more inclusive and accessible.
Hannah Mefin
I live in Bethesda, North Wales, where I’m raising my two girls. I came to art later in life, outside of formal education, through curiosity and the need to make sense of things.
My work is grounded in everyday life and the connections that shape us — family, care, community, and the land around me. I’m interested in the unseen work that holds things together, and how care and daily life create stories worth sharing.
Lauren Heckler
Lauren is a filmmaker and producer from Wales, based between London and Llansteffan. A recent graduate from MA Screendance at the London Contemporary Dance School, her filmmaking and directing style is guided by choreographic thinking. She is fascinated by themes of personal, community and planetary health and aims to create works that welcome audiences’ curiosity and questioning.
With a background in visual art, Lauren has screened and exhibited work across the UK and internationally including at The Place London, WOW Pakistan, The Glynn Vivian Gallery and Exeter Dance International Film Festival. Her dance film ‘Hype’ recently received two Honourable Mentions at the West Lothian Film Festival 2025.
Lily Tiger T Wells
Lily is an artist-filmmaker from West Wales. Her practice is a research driven exploration of places and people, situated between community engagement and documentary filmmaking. Her work spans across sculpture, ceramics, photography and analogue filmmaking, with a key thematic interest in folk traditions and ecological practices. Recent creative residencies include ‘Natur am Byth!’, a species recovery and social engagement program with Pen Llŷn a’r Sarnau and Marine Conservation Society, and an artist residency at The National Botanic Gardens of Wales.
Her first short documentary, She Sells Shellfish, was showcased at BAFTA-qualifying festivals and prestigious institutions including Bertha Dochouse, the Saatchi Gallery and the National Library of Wales, and secured an international online platform with Girls in Film and Aeon Magazine. She received support from the BFI’s Made of Truth Grant for her upcoming short film, Tŷ Unnos, which is due to be completed in September 2025.
