Submit Your Animated Project to the CEE Animation Forum 2023
The CEE Animation Forum has announced its 11th edition, the leading pitching, financing, and co-production event for animated projects in Central and Eastern Europe. Animators, directors and industry professionals have until April 30, 2023, to submit their works in four categories: features, series/TV specials, shorts, and student films.
Every year, almost 200 film professionals are invited to witness the pitching competition between the most promising European animation projects. The two-day event is set to take place from November 8-9, 2023, in Pilsen, Czech Republic.
The main part of the programme is the traditional pitching competition, which is open to European animated projects currently in development or in production. Submissions are accepted in the four categories, with specific guidelines for each category’s length and development stage.
The CEE Animation Forum is a platform intended to showcase European talent and creative works. It helps professionals find co-production partners, financing, and distribution for their projects, as well as build lasting networks of producers, creatives, and international decision-makers from all fields. The CEEA Forum places great emphasis on networking in the form of 1:1 meetings.
