CARDIFF ANIMATION NIGHTS
NOSWEITHIAU ANIMEIDDIO CAERDYDD
Cardiff Animation Nights are free bimonthly screenings of great animation from around the world. We’ve been running them since 2014! We started with an audience of a couple of dozen people and now Cardiff Animation Nights has been running for over eleven years, has 150+ regular attendees, and has given birth to an international animation festival.
Our special festival launch of the Cardiff Animation Festival 2026 will be held on Thursday 23rd April. We’ve got all the typical animation madness and mayhem you’ve grown to love and enjoy for all these years.
Come and watch a selection of international shorts that will get you excited for the jam-packed weekend of animation events! But the party doesn’t end when the films are over, spend the rest of the evening with fellow animation lovers, filmmakers, and the CAF team as we celebrate yet another milestone!
