3rd edition of Animation Lab Clermont-Ferrand kicks-off

Dive into the Animation Wonderland: Your Ticket to Animated Shorts!

Get stuck into the fascinating world of creating animated shorts with Animation Lab, a lively 5-day crash course crafted for budding producers of short animated films and anyone eager to dive into the thrilling animation industry. This immersive experience encourages open discussion between participants and expert tutors in a relaxed setting, covering crucial topics in the animation field like production workflows, international co production, festival strategies, distribution dynamics, and the art of financing development and production. Uncover the mysteries of Creative Europe’s funding programs for development and production co-financing, explore successful project case studies, and participate in the Euro Connection Pitch—an incredible chance to connect with pitching teams and industry experts.

Guided by experienced pros Kristel Tõldsepp (A Film, Estonia) and Brecht Van Elslande (Animal Tank, Belgium), the workshop caters to a diverse group of participants from various backgrounds and territories. Our unique learning approach combines group work, one-on-one discussions, engaging lectures, real-life case studies, networking opportunities, market visit and pitch observations.

Hosted by the CEE Animation Workshop team, this transformative training unfolds against the backdrop of one of the most significant market and festival events for short films, offering unmatched networking opportunities and a chance to boost your presence in the industry.
