Ffilm fer (7 munud) sydd wedi cael ei chreu fel ymateb i lyfr gan artist sy'n dwyn y teitl In Debatable Lands. Prif bwnc y llyfr ydy'r ffin rhwng yr Alban a Lloegr, gyda diddordeb neilltuol mewn cyfres o gerddi sydd yn cael eu galw'n 'border ballads'. Mae'r ffilm yn cwestiynu'r syniad o gartref fel man heddwch tra bod hunaniaethau gwahanol yn bodoli yn eich bywyd personol a gwleidyddol. Cymysgedd o gweithrediad byw ac animeiddio gyda diolch i Sean Vicary a Paul Steffan Jones. Cynhaliwyd y gwaith gan Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru.
This short film (7mins) was made in response to an artist's book entitled In Debatable Lands. The book takes as its primary subject matter the borderland between England and Scotland with special recourse to the songs of this area known as the border ballads. The film questions the idea of 'home' as a place of peace given the existence of conflicting identities in one's personal and political life. A mixture of live action and animation with thanks to Sean Vicary and Paul Steffan Jones. This project was supported by the Arts Council of Wales.
