English: If I could speak of film and television and say that I feel, at the moment, that we are in something of a golden age for the industry - there is huge growth in what is produced across the world. There are so many new platforms; there are so many new opportunities. I believe that the industry in Wales has gone from strength to strength, with the number of productions being higher than ever. Generally speaking, it's a very exciting time, and a time that is full of opportunities that we can grasp.
Welsh: A gaf fi siarad am ffilm a theledu, a dweud fy mod i'n teimlo ar y funud ein bod ni'n byw mewn oes aur i'r diwydiant? Mae yna dwf aruthrol yn yr hyn sy'n cael ei gynhyrchu ar draws y byd. Mae yna gymaint o blatfformau newydd; mae yna gymaint o gyfleon newydd. Rwy'n credu bod y diwydiant yng Nghymru wedi mynd o nerth i nerth, gyda'r nifer o gynyrchiadau sy'n digwydd yn fwy nag erioed. Mae'n amser, ar y cyfan, gyffrous iawn ac yn amser sy'n llawn cyfleoedd i ni gael gafael ynddyn nhw.
English: I agree with Euros to some extent because a great many productions are taking place in Wales and have been for 10 years or more, and that number's growing, but I feel that our film industry isn't as strong as our television industry. If I compare to a country such as Ireland, Ireland produces high-quality films with talent from Ireland, whereas what's been happening recently over the past four or five years in Wales is that we've been producing films as a location, but not necessarily with talent from Wales, and they're not films that stand for Wales. They're productions that come into Wales, and we're happy for them to do so, and we're happy that these stars come to Wales and so on, but we in Wales are losing out, because Welsh films aren't being made. When we look back over the years at films like Hedd Wyn, Solomon a Gaenor, which had success at the Oscars, we're behind the game when it comes to film. In terms of television, that's a different story, because, with the productions of the past two years, they are growing. But that's my feeling.
Welsh: Rydw i'n cytuno efo Euros i ryw raddau achos mae yna lot fawr o gynyrchiadau yn digwydd yng Nghymru ac wedi bod ers 10 mlynedd neu'n fwy, mae'n siŵr, ac mae hynny'n tyfu. Rydw i'n teimlo nad yw ein diwydiant ffilm ni mor gryf â'n diwydiant teledu ni. Pan wyf i'n edrych ar - . Os ydw i'n cymharu â gwlad fel Iwerddon, mae Iwerddon yn cynhyrchu ffilmiau o safon dda, efo talent o Iwerddon, lle mai'r hyn sydd wedi bod yn digwydd yn ddiweddar, rydw i'n meddwl, dros, os liciwch chi, y pedair, pum mlynedd diwethaf yma yng Nghymru, ydy ein bod ni wedi bod yn cynhyrchu ffilmiau fel lleoliadau, ond nid yn angenrheidiol efo talent Cymraeg, ac nid ydyn nhw'n ffilmiau sydd yn sefyll dros Gymru. Mae yna gynyrchiadau sydd yn dod i mewn lle rydym ni'n hapus iddyn nhw ddod i mewn, ac mae'n grêt bod y sêr yma yn dod i mewn i Gymru a phob dim, ond rydym ni fel Cymry ar ein colled am nad ydym ni'n cael ffilmiau Cymreig. Pan fyddwn ni'n edrych yn ôl dros y blynyddoedd ar ffilmiau fel Solomon a Gaenor, Hedd Wyn, os liciwch chi, a gafodd lwyddiant yn yr Oscars a phob dim, rydym ni ar ei hôl hi o ran y diwydiant ffilm. Mae teledu yn wahanol, achos mae hwnnw'n tyfu nawr efo cynyrchiadau sydd wedi bod yn digwydd, yn enwedig dros y ddwy flynedd diwethaf yma. Ond dyma fy nheimlad i.
English: But, just to continue with the theme from an actor's point of view, we've heard from Equity in the past, when we've looked at the situation in television, that there are major problems in terms of the fact that actors usually have to go to London - there are many people on the trains back and forth for auditions, and these are for Welsh productions based here in Wales, but the auditions are held in London, so then they don't have the same opportunities as other actors, perhaps. Do you think that that's the case?
Welsh: Ond, jest o ran parhau â'r thema o actorion, rydym ni wedi clywed gan Equity yn y gorffennol, pan ydym ni wedi edrych ar y cyswllt â theledu, fod problemau mawr ynghylch y ffaith bod yn rhaid i actorion fel arfer fynd i Lundain - mae yna lot o bobl ar y trenau i Lundain i wneud clyweliadau yn hytrach na'u cynnal nhw ar gyfer cynyrchiadau Cymru yma yng Nghymru, a wedyn efallai nad ydyn nhw'n cael yr un math o siawns ag actorion eraill. A ydych chi'n credu bod hynny'n wir?
English: Yes, I do think that still happens, unfortunately, as an actor who has to go on the train, although, actually, I tend to drive now because the train is too expensive - but that's another matter.
Welsh: Ydw, rydw i'n teimlo bod hynny'n dal i fodoli, yn anffodus, fel actor, fel rhywun sy'n gorfod mynd ar y trên, neu yrru y byddaf i ran fwyaf nawr achos bod y trên yn rhy ddrud - mae hynny'n fater arall.
English: That's for another committee.
Welsh: Pwyllgor arall i edrych ar hwnnw.
English: That's for another committee, yes. But no, I do have to go to London a great deal, and we always favour London; we never favour our actors here in Wales. The auditions tend to happen in London. Companies then fund actors from England to come to Wales, but not vice versa. We don't receive any payment for going to London to do a film, but they do receive a payment if they come to Wales, for a hotel, food, and so on. And also Welsh actors - again, I compare the situation with Ireland, because I spend a great deal of time there. The tendency, if you like, is to draw in the marquee talent - of course, they do have to have them to sell and market these productions - but, if we look at the levels underneath that, at the supporting cast, if you like, we don't give enough opportunities to Welsh actors, and there are many excellent Welsh actors that we know of, Welsh speaking and non-Welsh speaking. And we should be pressing more on these production companies so that we attract more talent to be in those television and film productions.
Welsh: Pwyllgor arall ydy hynny, ie. Ond na, rydw i'n gorfod mynd tipyn go lew i Lundain, ac rydym ni wastad yn ffafrio Llundain; nid ydym ni'n ffafrio ein hactorion ni yng Nghymru. Mae'r clyweliadau yn gyffredinol yn Llundain. Mae cwmnïau wedyn yn ariannu actorion o Loegr i ddod i Gymru; nid ydy'r vice versa yn digwydd. Nid ydym ni'n cael ein tâl am fynd i Lundain i wneud ffilm, ond maen nhw'n cael eu tâl, neu beth bynnag, eu gwesty, eu bwyd, neu beth bynnag, i ddod i Gymru i ffilmio. A hefyd mae actorion Cymreig - rydw i eto yn cymharu ag Iwerddon, achos rydw i'n treulio lot o amser yn Iwerddon. Y tueddiad, os liciwch chi, yw i ddenu'r ' marquee ' talent - wrth gwrs, mae'n rhaid eu cael nhw i werthu'r cynyrchiadau yma - ond hefyd, os ydym ni'n edrych, os liciwch chi, o dan hynny, fel y cast supporting, nid ydym ni'n rhoi digon o gyfleon neu nid ydym ni'n rhoi - ie, y cyfle i actorion Cymreig, ac mae yna lot fawr o actorion Cymreig da yr ydym yn gwybod amdanyn nhw, yn Gymraeg ac yn ddi-Gymraeg. Ond dylem ni fod yn pwyso mwy ar y cwmnïau cynhyrchu yma fel ein bod yn denu mwy o dalent i fod yn y ffilmiau yna a'r teledu yna.
English: Some sort of quota system perhaps.
Welsh: Cael rhyw fath o system cwota efallai.
English: I think it would be possible to place a condition on funding to insist that productions give major roles, not just supporting roles, to actors who live in Wales.
Welsh: Rwy'n credu y byddai modd rhoi amod ar arian i fynnu bod cynyrchiadau yn rhoi hyn a hyn o brif rannau, nid jest rhannau cynorthwyol, i actorion sy'n byw yng Nghymru.
English: Is that the same type of experience that you've had, Euros? Obviously, you started from a point - you're very successful now, but what was your experience of starting out in the industry and trying to lift yourself to the level that you're at now?
Welsh: A ydy hynny'r un math o brofiad yr ydych chi wedi ei gael, Euros? Yn amlwg, rydych chi wedi dechrau o rywle - rydych chi'n llwyddiannus iawn nawr, ond beth oedd eich profiad chi wrth ddechrau mas a cheisio gwthio eich hun i'r lefel lle rydych chi nawr?
English: Well, the make-up of my career was one where I was fortunate to start on Welsh productions such as Pam fi Duw?, Iechyd Da, and then I worked with Julian on Belonging, and after that I moved on to network and international productions, and also films. I think that that route into the industry is very important indeed, and it's important to support those various different levels of activity. At the moment, the Government funding pot supports productions over £1 million, but Welsh-language productions and Welsh productions generally tend to have far smaller budgets. It would be wonderful to see some support for those productions, too, because that's the route for actors and technicians and creatives to develop in the industry.
Welsh: Wel, mae siâp fy ngyrfa i wedi bod yn un lle bues i'n ddigon ffodus i ddechrau ar gynyrchiadau Cymraeg fel Pam fi Duw?, Iechyd Da, ac wedyn gweithiais i gyda Julian ar Belonging, ac wedi hynny symudais ymlaen at gynyrchiadau rhwydwaith a rhyngwladol, a ffilmiau hefyd. Rwy'n credu bod y llwybr yna mewn i'r diwydiant yn bwysig iawn, ac mae'n bwysig cefnogi'r gwahanol lefelau yna o weithgarwch. Ar y funud, mae pot o arian y Llywodraeth yn cefnogi cynyrchiadau o dros £1 filiwn, ond mae cynyrchiadau iaith Gymraeg a Chymreig yn tueddu fod â chyllideb lot is. Byddai'n wych gweld rhywfaint o gefnogaeth i'r cynyrchiadau hynny hefyd, achos dyna'r llwybr i actorion ac i dechnegwyr a phobl greadigol i ddod ymlaen yn y busnes.
English: No, I'm fine, thanks.
Welsh: Na, rwy'n iawn, diolch.
English: I'll speak Welsh, of course. What kinds of productions would you like to see? You say that you're proud of being Welsh and so on. What kinds of things aren't being created? I've spoken to people who want to put together a film about the history of Wales - the Welsh Braveheart, as it were. What kinds of films aren't being made at the moment that should be made to put our culture front and centre?
Welsh: Fe wnaf i siarad Cymraeg. Pa fath o gynyrchiadau y byddech chi'n hoffi eu gweld? Rydych yn dweud eich bod yn browd o fod yn Gymro ac yn y blaen. Pa fath o bethau nad sy'n cael eu creu? Rwyf wedi siarad â phobl sydd eisiau gwneud ffilm am hanes Cymru - Braveheart Cymru - er enghraifft. Pa fath o ffilmiau sydd ddim yn cael eu gwneud ar hyn o bryd a ddylai gael eu gwneud er mwyn rhoi ein diwylliant ar y map yn hynny o beth?
English: Well, that's a huge question, isn't it? That's the question that every exec in Wales is asking at the moment. What is the story that's going to reflect our culture specifically in Wales and will be saleable across the world? That is what we're all trying to do, that's what we're all working hard to do. It's interesting to see the success of Keeping Faith. They've hit on something, they've captured something very special there and they've succeeded. So, we need to look to each other to see what has succeeded and emulate that. I hope to work on a film later in the year that will be set here in Wales, that will showcase what it's like to live in Wales, our stories, but hopefully will also be a story that will sell across the world. That is what we're striving for.
Welsh: Wel, mae hwnnw'n gwestiwn mawr, onid yw e? Dyna'r cwestiwn mae pob exec yng Nghymru'n gofyn ar y funud. Beth yw'r stori sy'n mynd i adlewyrchu ein diwylliant ni yn benodol yng Nghymru ac sy'n mynd i werthu ar draws y byd? Dyna beth rŷm ni'n trio gwneud yn galed. Mae'n ddiddorol gweld llwyddiant Keeping Faith. Maen nhw wedi taro rhywbeth, maen nhw wedi dal rhywbeth sy'n arbennig iawn ar y funud ac wedi llwyddo. Felly, mae'n rhaid i ni edrych ar ein gilydd, gweld beth sydd wedi llwyddo, a thrio efelychu hynny. Rwy'n gobeithio gweithio ar ffilm yn hwyrach yn y flwyddyn sydd wedi cael ei gosod yng Nghymru a fydd yn dangos bywyd a beth mae hi fel i fod yng Nghymru, ein straeon ni, ond hefyd sy'n stori, rwy'n gobeithio, a fydd yn gwerthu ar draws y byd. Dyna beth rŷm ni'n trio gwneud.
English: So, these will be factual.
Welsh: Ffeithiol fydd y rhain, wedyn.
English: Yes, they will be factual. But, the funding isn't there. So, I would be delighted if the Government could look at an idea like this and think, 'They've got something here', and that we would help each other in a way to - . I am talking personally about what I want to do, because I want to sell - . It's the same thing with the fishing, I want to sell our fishing here abroad because we have fishing that - . I don't know what's going to happen with Brexit, that's another question, but we do have so much in our nation that we should be selling and sharing with the world, and I think that's only going to increase because of what's happening with Europe. So, that's what fires me up anyway.
Welsh: Ffeithiol, ie. Ond, nid yw'r arian yna. So, buaswn i wrth fy modd pe byddai'r Llywodraeth yn edrych ar syniad fel hyn a meddwl, 'Mae gyda nhw rhywbeth fan hyn', a'n bod ni'n helpu'n gilydd mewn ffordd i wneud - . Rwyf wedi sôn yn bersonol am beth rwyf eisiau gwneud, achos rwyf eisiau gwerthu - . Yr un peth efo'r pysgota, rwyf eisiau gwerthu ein pysgota ni dramor achos mae gennym ni bysgota - . Nid wyf yn gwybod beth sy'n mynd i ddigwydd efo Brexit nawr, ond dyna ni, mae hwnnw'n gwestiwn arall, ond mae gennym ni gymaint yn ein gwlad ein hunain y dylem ei werthu i'r byd, ac rwy'n meddwl bod hynny'n mynd i fod yn fwy rŵan achos beth sy'n digwydd efo Ewrop. So, dyna beth sy'n - that's what fires me up, anyway.
English: Just one quick question to conclude, perhaps just for Euros: when you create something from Wales with regards to television in Wales, do you have any kind of discussion with the Welsh Government about whether, if they go to a foreign country on a trade mission or to market Wales abroad - have you been a part of that as a way of selling Wales to the world, or has that just not happened?
Welsh: Jest un cwestiwn clou gen i, efallai jest i Euros: o ran pan rydych chi'n creu rhywbeth o Gymru o ran teledu neu ffilm, a ydych chi'n cael unrhyw fath o drafodaeth gyda Llywodraeth Cymru ynglŷn ag os ydyn nhw'n mynd i wlad dramor ar trade mission neu i werthu Cymru mewn gwlad dramor - a ydych chi ar unrhyw adeg wedi bod yn rhan o hynny mewn rhyw fath o ffordd o werthu Cymru i'r byd, neu a ydy hynny jest ddim wedi digwydd?
English: Film is an opportunity to sell the nation, sell the culture, sell our values across the world. There are implications to that beyond the cultural output. It attracts industry and it means that we're saying, 'We're here. Listen to us, take an interest in us.'
Welsh: Mae ffilm yn gyfle i werthu'r wlad, i werthu'r diwylliant, i werthu'n gwerthoedd ni ar draws y byd, ac mae goblygiadau i hynny tu hwnt i jest y cynnyrch diwylliannol. Mae'n denu diwydiant ac mae'n golygu ein bod ni'n dweud 'Rŷm ni yma. Gwrandewch arnom ni. Cymerwch ddiddordeb ynom ni.'
English: Great. Thanks very much for giving evidence today. I'm sure that we will be in touch with the report once it's been completed. We have other witnesses to hear evidence from, but it was an excellent session. Thank you very much for joining us today.
Welsh: Grêt. Diolch yn fawr iawn am roi tystiolaeth gerbron heddiw. Rwy'n siŵr y byddwn ni'n cysylltu gyda'r adroddiad pan fydd wedi cael ei gwblhau. Mae eto mwy o bobl i ni drafod gyda nhw. Ond sesiwn ddiddorol iawn, a diolch yn fawr iawn i chi am ddod mewn atom heddiw.
English: Moving on now to item 9, a motion under Standing Orders to resolve to exclude the public from the meeting for the following business, namely item 10, to consider the evidence that we've just heard. Is everyone content and happy? Thanks.
Welsh: Rydym ni'n symud ymlaen nawr, felly, at eitem 9, y cynnig o dan y Rheolau Sefydlog i wahardd y cyhoedd o'r cyfarfod ar gyfer y busnes a ganlyn, sef eitem 10, i drafod yr hyn rydym ni newydd glywed o ran tystiolaeth heddiw. Iawn? Hapus ac yn llawen? Diolch.
English: To turn back to the JMC very briefly, from what you've said thus far, the constitution and structure of the JMC - you talked about the council of Ministers being one possible solution - is a problem, and there's also the difficulty with the arbitration system within all of that. So, can you tell me whether there's another aspect that is deficient in the current JMC set-up in your opinion?
Welsh: Os caf i droi'n ôl at y JMC yn fyr iawn, o'r hyn yr ydych chi wedi ei ddweud mor belled, mae cyfansoddiad a strwythur y JMC - roeddech chi'n sôn am gyngor y Gweinidogion fel un posibilrwydd ar gyfer hynny - yn broblem, ac mae'r diffyg ffordd o ddatrys anghytuno yn broblem arall y tu fewn i'r system yma. A oes yna rywbeth arall sydd yn ddiffygiol hefyd ar hyn o bryd yn y JMC yn eich barn chi?
English: The JMC's not going to work ultimately. There has to be a body or a way to consider making decisions. The JMC doesn't make decisions; it's a talking shop. I think that's a weakness. That's not something I would like to see - and I've been going for years now - ultimately. You have to have a structure now in order to make decisions to keep the integrated market of the UK to ensure that a decision is made between Governments and not one telling the other what's going to happen. Such a structure was not needed previously, but there is now a need and this is something what will have to be resolved, in my view, before the UK leaves the EU - at the moment at the end of 2020.
Welsh: Wel, nid yw'r JMC yn mynd i weithio yn y pen draw. Mae'n rhaid cael modd neu gorff sy'n mynd i ystyried gwneud penderfyniadau. Nid yw'r JMC yn gwneud penderfyniadau; fforwm siarad yw e. Rwy'n credu taw gwendid yw hynny. Mae'n rhywbeth na fyddwn i ddim yn moyn ei weld - ac rwyf wedi bod yn mynd ers blynyddoedd mawr nawr - yn y pen draw. Mae'n rhaid cael strwythur nawr er mwyn cymryd penderfyniadau i gadw marchnad integredig y Deyrnas Unedig i sicrhau bod penderfyniad yn cael ei wneud rhwng Llywodraethau ac nid un yn dweud wrth y lleill beth yn gwmws sy'n mynd i ddigwydd. Nawr, mewn ffordd, nid oedd eisiau cael strwythur fel yna o'r blaen ond mae ei eisiau fe nawr, ac mae hyn yn rhywbeth y bydd yn rhaid ei ddatrys, yn fy marn i, cyn i'r Deyrnas Unedig adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd - ar hyn o bryd ar ddiwedd 2020.
English: You say that that reflects a deficiency not just in this area but more broadly within the current structure of the United Kingdom in terms of the relationships with the devolved nations. Now, there is a way of overcoming some of those problems on occasion. We could turn to the funding framework, where there are measures within the funding framework agreement that you have with the Westminster Government. You could argue that the structures that are in place haven't been put under any pressure, but there are structures in place in terms of dealing with problems and with disagreements, and so forth. So, can you explain, therefore, why you are keen that the Assembly votes tomorrow in favour of the inter-governmental agreement in the absence of this structure that you see as being so essential to solving this problem?
Welsh: Rydych chi'n dweud bod hynny'n adlewyrchu diffyg nid jest yn y maes yma ond yn ehangach y tu fewn i strwythur presennol y Deyrnas Gyfunol rhwng y gwledydd datganoledig. Mae modd dod dros rai o'r problemau hynny o bryd i'w gilydd. Felly, fe allwn ni droi at y fframwaith cyllidol, lle y mae yna fesurau y tu fewn i'r cytundeb fframwaith cyllidol sydd gyda chi a Llywodraeth San Steffan. Lle mae yna strwythurau yn eu lle, fe fedrwch chi ddadlau nad ydyn nhw wedi cael eu rhoi o dan bwysau eto, ond mae yna strwythurau yn eu lle ynglŷn â mynd i'r afael â phroblemau a mynd i'r afael ag anghytuno ac ati. A fedrwch chi jest esbonio, felly, pam rydych chi'n awyddus bod y Cynulliad fory yn pleidleisio o blaid y cytundeb rhynglywodraethol yn absenoldeb y strwythur yma rydych chi'n ei weld yn hollbwysig ar gyfer datrys y problemau yma?
English: Well, because of the fact that a lot of things have been put in place now that are in our favour. What is vital in terms of where we are now is that every Government is in the same place. One of the things that troubled me over the last year was the fact that it was possible, when clause 11, or clause 15 as it is now - in a way, we've got rid of it but not in the way we would have wanted - . In considering the clause at the beginning, that clause said that we didn't have a voice, more or less; that the powers would come from Europe straight to Westminster and Whitehall, and Whitehall would decide the frameworks and decide what would happen ultimately. That's not where we are now. The situation previously was that England would be able to do whatever they wanted, while Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland wouldn't. Now everybody's in the same place. So, there is a restriction now on every Government in terms of creating new laws under the European structure. So, there is pressure now about two things. First of all, frameworks: Governments have to agree on frameworks and so there is a need for a permanent structure that's going to assist in that regard. Secondly, of course, there is pressure on Governments and the Westminster Government to agree on frameworks as soon as possible because everybody's in the same position. Because of the fact that the UK Government can't make its own laws as well, it would be of advantage for everybody to agree as soon as possible, and long before the seven years under the sunset clause come to an end.
Welsh: Wel, achos y ffaith bod yna sawl peth wedi cael eu dodi mewn lle nawr sydd o'n plaid ni. Beth sy'n hollbwysig ynglŷn â ble rydym ni nawr yw bod pob Llywodraeth yn yr un lle. Un o'r pethau a oedd yn fy nhrwblu i dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf oedd y ffaith ei bod hi'n bosib, pan ddaeth cymal 11, neu gymal 15 yw e nawr - mewn ffordd, rŷm ni wedi cael ei wared e, ond nid yn y ffordd y byddem ni wedi moyn gweld - . Wrth ystyried y cymal ar y dechrau, roedd y cymal hwnnw yn dweud nad oedd gennym ni lais, fwy neu lai; byddai'r pwerau sydd yn dod o Ewrop yn mynd yn syth i San Steffan a Whitehall, a Whitehall fyddai'n penderfynu fframweithiau ac yn penderfynu beth fyddai'n digwydd yn y pen draw. Nid dyna le rŷm ni nawr. Bryd hynny, y sefyllfa oedd y byddai Lloegr yn gallu gwneud beth bynnag roedden nhw'n moyn a byddai'r Alban a Chymru a Gogledd Iwerddon yn ffaelu. Nawr mae pawb yn yr un lle. So, mae yna rwystr nawr ar bob Llywodraeth ynglŷn â chreu cyfreithiau newydd o dan y strwythur Ewropeaidd. So, mae yna bwysau nawr ynglŷn â dau beth. Yn gyntaf, fframweithiau: mae'n rhaid i Lywodraethau gytuno fframweithiau, felly mae'n rhaid cael strwythur parhaol sy'n mynd i helpu hynny. Ac yn ail, wrth gwrs, mae yna bwysau ar Lywodraethau a Llywodraeth San Steffan i gytuno fframweithiau mor gynted ag sy'n bosibl, achos mae pawb yn yr un lle. So, o achos y ffaith bod Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig yn ffaelu gwneud ei chyfreithiau ei hun hefyd, mae o fantais nawr i bawb gytuno mor gynted ag sy'n bosibl, ymhell cyn bod y saith mlynedd lan o dan y cymal machlud.
