The CEE Animation Forum is the leading pitching, financing, and co-production event in the animated film sector in Central and Eastern Europe. The gathering aims to boost the projects’ international visibility and potential, while enhancing access to the wider European market.
The upcoming 12th edition of the gathering will run from 12 to 13 November at the Moving Station in Plzeň, Czech Republic.
Marta Jallageas, managing director of the CEE Animation Forum, says:
Over the last 11 editions, we’ve witnessed the remarkable growth of the animation industry in Central and Eastern Europe. The region is rapidly becoming a key player in the global animation market, and I’m very proud that the CEE Animation Forum has been part of this success, actively contributing to and supporting this growth.
The forum’s three main activities include a pitching competition (showcasing 31 projects across four categories: feature-length, TV series and specials, shorts, and student shorts), the Market event, and one-on-one meetings.
Jallageas adds:
We’re excited to continue developing the Market, which we introduced last year as a unique space where projects at all stages – from concepts to completed works – can be showcased without the need for a pre-selection process. It also gives a snapshot of the European animation landscape and creates real opportunities for co-productions, distribution, and industry networking.
