We also notice the Welsh National Eisteddfod. In Welsh culture, an eisteddfod was similat to an Irish feis or a Scottish Highland gathering. The Welsh term means 'session'. It is a composit term from two Welsh morphemes: 'eistedd', meaning sit and 'bod', meaning be. It is a festival of literature, music and performance. The tradition of such gatherings of artists dates back to at least the 12th century, when a festival of poetry and music was held by Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth at his court in Cardigan (1176). Over time, the decline of the medieval bardic tradition caused it to decline and eventually disappear. A revial of Celtic culture beginning in more modern times resulted in revial of the festivals, the Irish feis, the Scottish Highland Gatherings, and the Welsh eisteddfod. The modern National National Eiisteddfod format has evolved from informal eisteddfod that began to be celabrated (18th and 19th centuries). We note creative outdoor works in the Welsh langiage. The managers are now considering a film project.
