5 December 2024
Applications are invited from Companies to produce a music output, with a view to broadcasting from Spring 2025.
This format plays an important role in the channel's delivery and the winning company will come up with ideas for a package that is ambitious and creative but possible within budget to ensure the success of the Welsh-language production.
Unfortunately, due to a technical problem the 'Music Sheet' on the PAC system isn't working.
The technicians are looking to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your cooperation.
S4C
S4C is looking for new ideas for documentary films to publish on Hansh. We want stories that will inspire, amaze, raise smiles, adventurous films that use a completely contemporary documentary format.
We are eager to get ideas about stories of exceptional young people who can take viewers into another world with a narrative that develops in the moment; documentaries with plenty of humour that question and tease Welsh identities; documentaries that try to give a positive picture of the wide variety of experiences of Welsh speakers (or speakers of other languages in Wales). We are very interested in stories that are led by women and people from underrepresented backgrounds.
