MINI-CAF LAUNCH PARTY: CARDIFF ANIMATON NIGHTS
Cardiff Animation Nights are free bimonthly screenings of great animation from around the world. We’ve been running them since 2014 – they’re where it all began! We started with an audience of a couple of dozen people (mostly our mates), and now Cardiff Animation Nights has been running for eight years, has 100+ regular attendees, and has given birth to an international animation festival.
Join us for a special Mini-CAF launch edition at Cardiff Animation Nights’ home, The Underdog in Cardiff City Centre! Grab a drink, meet other animation fans, meet filmmakers, meet us! Then settle in for an hour of the good stuff.
