Call 2022

The CEE Animation Forum is the leading regional pitching, financing and co-production event. It aims to boost the international circulation potential of projects, as well as their visibility and access to a wider European market. 

With our growing professional network, we are building a strong community with the aim to support the projects, to boost the circulation of works and creative ideas, and the creation of new partnerships, to give media exposure to selected projects through various media partners, and to promote projects throughout the year, not only during the event, i. e. to follow the life of the project after the Forum as well.

The main focus remains on the two most important Forum activities: the pitching of animated projects in development and 1:1 industry meetings. 

Categories

Submissions are open to European animated projects in development in 5 categories:

  • Feature Films (minimum length of 60 minutes; in concept, in development or in production),
  • Series and TV Specials (web and TV series of any format and single films, minimum length of 20 minutes; all stages of development except for concept stage),
  • Short Films (maximum length of 20 minutes; all stages of development except for concept stage),
  • Rising Stars (student short films, maximum length of 20 minutes; all stages of development except for concept stage),
  • XR Immersive Media (VR, AR, 360 and other immersive formats; in development or in production).

An animated project is a project in which at least 50% of the film under consideration is executed using animation film technology or takes the form of multimedia audio-visual work with emphasis on the graphical aspect.
