movie ‘La La Land’ (12A) starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, which has already picked up eight awards at the Critics' Choice Awards, including best film. We also get to take a fly on the
wall look at the phenomenal rise to fame of The Beatles in ‘Eight Days a Week’ (12A), ‘You’ve Been Trumped Too’ (PG) is screening at the same time as Mr Trump is due to take up the Presidency and there’s some awe- inspiring cinematography from Otto Bell in ‘The Eagle Huntress’ (U). There’s a little something for the kids with previews of ‘Sing’ (U), the
new movie they say is The X Factor with animals as stars, which has voice work from Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon and local boy Taron Egerton on January 21 and 22. With over 100 screenings of 12
titles we’re sure you’ll find something to inspire, entertain and challenge you during Mwldan’s 23rd annual feast of cinema.

Cutting edge of life at Wales’ hairdressers IF THERE'S one place where
people go to gossip, it's the hairdressers, and a new series on S4C takes us behind the scenes in some of Wales' hair salons. Y Salon is a new factual entertainment series filmed in seven hairdressers around the country. Each week, from next Friday (Jan
13), viewers can eavesdrop on some of the interesting conversations that take place while regular customers get their hair done as they discuss major news and trivialities with their stylist. The shops and stylists taking part
in the series are: Carys and Cara from G&J Salon, Bangor; Colin and Jason from Magic Clippers barbershop, Caernarfon; Kelly from Snip and Clip, Caernarfon; Sonya from Blodeuwedd beauty salon, Caernarfon; Gary, Ke- lee and Tamara from Blade - Blewyn
Bala hair salon, Bala; Craig and Huw from Style, Llandeilo; and Llinos and Hedydd from Llinos Hair and Beauty Shop, Cardigan. According to a poll carried out
in 2016, hairdressing is one of the professions British people trust most - with 69% saying they would trust hairdressers to tell the truth. This means people trust their
hairdressers more than the police and television newsreaders. But that comes as no surprise to Gary Jones, one of the stylists in the series. "People will tell you everything
once they're in the chair," said Gary, who works in Blade - Blewyn Bala and has been cutting hair for 23 years. "I've heard so many people's problems; they say things to me they wouldn't even tell their partners. The conversation really flows!"
As the styling starts and the
conversation develops, the hairdressers and clients discuss everything, from tabloid stories about celebrities to the serious news stories of the day, and from local news to personal gossip. And with the S4C series starting, Gary's looking forward to giving the people of Wales a taste of his everyday life.
"I think this job is the most
interesting in the world and it will be the perfect opportunity for people to see what happens behind the scenes in a hair salon. It's not as glamorous as people think and no matter how bad a day you're having, or what the customers are telling you, you have to carry on as usual - because when the customer is comfortable, that's when they say what they really think!"
