Here&#8217;s my illustrated story of the day&#8230; L to R: Annette Mees, Dai Evans (holding the new-technology version of a teaspoon) and Bonnie Shaw. DS4 &#8211; 17 June 2009, Aberystwyth Arts Centre Huw Davies showed intergenerational stories based around old silent colour footage of farming in north-east Wales. And announced he&#8217;s secured \u00a3200k funding for a feature film mixing old and new footage, with the new being shot by 150 especially-trained film-makers\/digital storytellers in Rhyl. Annette\u00a0 Mees described how playing Big Ball Bingo and listening to community-members&#8217; stories helped to bring people together in Shoreditch, London. Cadwyd is Welsh for &#8216;kept&#8217; or &#8216;for safekeeping&#8217; and Rhian Cadwaladr and Gwion Llwyd shared stories about a Llanberis Slate Mine, at the foot of Snowdon. I had lunch with digital Storyteller and photographer Dai Evans and his son Huw. Three generations of Dai&#8217;s family have made digital stories. Bonnie Shaw said she&#8217;s invented the Snap-Shot-City photo-challenge format as part of a plan to hatch the best-ever party. Video Nation&#8217;s Melanie Lindsell and Alyson Fielding showed footage from Everest,\u00a0 a WWI Memorial Rap from Newport and a kitchen-sink monologue from Cwm Gwendraeth, as well as inviting contributions to the soon-to-be-launched Video Nation Network website. The day was well hosted by DSCymru&#8217;s Esko Reinikainen, who launched a new online space for digital storytellers in Wales and beyond on the Ning network.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll put a link to this blog post from that site. \u00a0 To close the festival, Rhian Cadwaladr, Dai Evans and Alan Thomas handed the archive of BBC Capture Wales \/ Cipolwg ar Gymru stories over to the National Library of Wales&#8217;s Screen and Sound Archive where they&#8217;ll be available to view for generations to come. This post has been about DS4. Here are links if you&#8217;d like to read about 2008&#8217;s DS3 or DS2 in 2007. Unfortunately, the website of &#8216;DS1&#8217; &#8211; the first International Conference of Digital Storytelling at BBC Wales 28-30 November 2003 is no longer live. So, will there be a DS5? That&#8217;s a question people were asking in Aberystwyth yesterday. By the evidence of the effervescent digital storytelling scene in Wales on display in DS4, I&#8217;d reply with a resounding &#8220;I hope so&#8221;.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/lh6.ggpht.com\/_HJTJM8IDa2Y\/SjoNbzGQ0fI\/AAAAAAAAAFQ\/BIrKg690VGo\/s400\/01annettedaibonnie2.jpg"}
