Marta Jallageas, Managing Director of the CEE Animation Forum, said:
As the European animation industry continues to evolve, the CEE Animation Forum remains an important platform for driving creative collaboration and innovation. We are proud to provide a space for high-quality, artistically-driven animation, where both emerging and established professionals can showcase their distinctive style, while also developing projects with real business potential and market success.
Every year, around 200 film professionals from across Europe gather to attend the Forum’s highlight: the pitching competition featuring the most promising European animation projects. Through its complementary activities, Market and 1:1 meetings, the CEE Animation Forum places great emphasis on building lasting networks to explore co-production, financing, and distribution opportunities.
