Effi O Blaenau15

Directed by Marc Evans | UK | 2026 | 1h 31m | Welsh w/ English subtitles | Starring Leisa Gwenllian, Tom Rhys Harries, Owen Alun, Nel Rhys Lewis, Sion Eifion

Hard-partying young woman Effi lives in rural Wales, where the pubs have shut, the jobs have dried up, and her grandmother’s chip shop shifts are keeping the family afloat. A chance encounter in a Llandudno nightclub opens a door to a life she’s never dared to imagine, but the reality that follows brings her crashing back down to earth. Leisa Gwenllian delivers a searing performance in this spikily funny and sharply drawn character study, adapted from Gary Owen’s celebrated one-woman play Iphigenia in Splott.

Plan your visit

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
