11.00yb

Bydd y Wladfa Newydd – Culture Colony yn darparu cynnwys ar y rhyngrwyd ar ffurf ffilmiau am artistiaid, celf a’r broses gelfyddydol. Gan ddefnyddio Archif Artistiaid Pixel Foundry, mae'r Wladfa Newydd – Culture Colony wedi gallu comisiynu nifer o ffilmiau wrth baratoi ar gyfer lansio’r wefan ar ddechrau’r flwyddyn nesaf. Syniadau a Chreadigedd yw cynhwysion hanfodol y storïau a adroddir trwy gyfrwng y ffilmiau hyn, ac mae ffilmiau eisoes wedi’u gwneud am rai o artistiaid, cerddorion a llenorion pwysicaf Cymru. Pytiau o ffilmiau a seindalpiau yn unig y gall y teledu eu cynnig, ond bydd y rhyngrwyd yn rhyddhau gwneuthurwyr ffilmiau a chynnwys o gyfaddawdau fformatau a rhaglenni sy’n dibynnu ar bersonoliaethau, gan gynnig profiad newydd gwybodus i wylwyr a defnyddwyr gwasanaethau fel y Wladfa Newydd – Culture Colony. Bydd y cyflwyniad hwn gan Pete Telfer, gwneuthurwr ffilmiau, yn rhoi rhagolwg o’r hyn sydd ar ddod pan fydd gwefan y Wladfa Newydd – Culture Colony yn cael ei lansio.
