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 ten years, has 150+ regular attendees, and has given birth to an international animation festival.
Our special festival launch of the Cardiff Animation Weekender will be held at our beloved venue The Underdog, on Friday 16th May. 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!
Dangosiadau am ddim bob deufis yw Nosweithiau Animeiddio Caerdydd, sy’n llawn dop o animeiddio gwych o bob rhan o’r byd. Rydyn ni wedi bod yn eu cynnal ers 2014! Dechreuon ni gyda chynulleidfa o ychydig ddwsinau o bobl, a bellach mae Nosweithiau Animeiddio Caerdydd wedi bod yn rhedeg ers dros ddeng mlynedd, gyda 150+ o fynychwyr rheolaidd, gan arwain at ŵyl animeiddio ryngwladool.
Bydd lansiad gŵyl arbennig Penwythnos Animeiddio Caerdydd yn cael ei gynnal yn ein lleoliad annwyl, The Underdog, nos Wener 16 Mai. Mae ganddon ni’r holl wallgofrwydd animeiddio arferol rydych chi wedi dod i’w fwynhau dros y blynyddoedd.
Dewch i wylio detholiad o ffilmiau byrion rhyngwladol i’ch paratoi am benwythnos llawn dop o ddigwyddiadau animeiddio! Ond fydd y parti ddim yn dod i ben gyda’r ffilmiau... Treuliwch weddill y noson gyda chyd-garwyr animeiddio, gwneuthurwyr ffilm, a thîm yr ŵyl wrth i ni ddathlu carreg filltir arall eto!
