Founded in 1997, Sgrîn, the screen agency for Wales is a private company funded by the Welsh Development Agency, the Arts Council of Wales, broadcasters S4C and BBC Wales and a number of independent Welsh producers. Its role is to "formulate a strategic vision for the development of the industrial and cultural aspects of film, television and new media in Wales. The emphasis is on both Welsh culture and the Welsh media industry.

Sgrîn is responsible for assessing Lottery applications, making recommendations and will make conditional grants for feature-film production. It also runs its own scheme shorts films, 'Screen Gems' for three-minute films and 'Animate It' for animation, and provides export assistance grants to film companies.

Like other screen agencies, Sgrîn also supports education, exhibition and new media in Wales and, through the Wales Screen Commission, promotes Wales as a base for incoming productions.
