The Cardiff Screen Festival (Gŵyl Sgrîn Caerdydd in Welsh) is an annual film festival that takes places in Cardiff, Wales. Commencing in 1989, it was originally held annually in Aberystwyth as the National film festival for Wales, before being moved to Cardiff due to popularity.

The 2005 film festival was held from November 9 to November 19, and was based in Chapter Arts Centre, with extra films being shown in a nearby Cineworld cinema complex. As well as offering films, 2005 saw the festival offer workshops and question and answer sessions with film directors and film producers, as well as talks about how to get into the movie business.

The 2006 festival takes place between the 8th and 18th of November

The festival offers the chance to meet the directors of many of the films in a more approachable fashion, as the customers and the movie-makers can mingle in a relaxed atmosphere.
