Submissions are open for the fifth edition of the CEE Animation Workshop, a year-long training programme for developing projects and enhancing the skills of producers in the field of animation led by renowned producers and animation script consultants. The deadline for submissions is 24 October, 2022.

The Workshop is tailor-made to suit the needs of producers and their creative teams with animated projects of any format in development and is also open to a limited number of producers without projects seeking to build a long-term strategy for their company.

Led by acclaimed industry professionals who will closely follow and mentor all kinds of projects (shorts, TV, feature-length, hybrid and XR) during the project the participants will be given a chance to advance their scripts, train in the art of pitching, get access to inspirational lectures and deepen their knowledge in various topics regarding animation production.

The 2023 edition of the CEE Animation Workshop will consist of 4 modules; 2 modules will be held online and 2 modules will be on-site starting with an on-site module in Ljubljana in February 2023. The Workshop will finish with the final presentation and a pitch to a carefully selected group of industry players. After the completion of the Workshop, participants will be able to take advantage of the CEE Animation network and gain privileged access to various industry and market events in the EU.

“We are excited to start the fifth edition with building on great experiences and strong foundations from last four years of the training and bringing some fresh new features. We are looking forward to welcome established producers Tonje Skar Reiersen and Corinne Destombes as main group leaders in the team and to balance the online and onsite modules, with 2 onsite weeks in 2023,” declares Saša Bach, the managing director of the CEE Animation Workshop.

The CEE Animation Workshop has in the previous four years helped develop more than 40 projects from 120 participants from different European countries. More than 80 guest expert lecturers and animation industry representatives have shared their knowledge with the participants with the goal to improve participants’ skills and enrich the field of animation production in European countries with low production capacity.
