The CEE Animation Workshop has announced its 2022 selection, and organisers say that they had a record number of applications from 19 countries, as the call was open to all EU territories for the first time. 32 participants from 12 countries will attend the 2022 edition, split between 12 teams with animated projects and four career-oriented participants.

“The traditional pool of countries from the CEE region will be even more diverse this year with the addition of participants from Sweden, France and Poland. All indications show that we have another very strong year ahead with exciting projects to be mentored, developed and packaged to hit the funding market by November 2022, says Juraj Krasnohorsky, Head of Studies.

The selection is balanced with the ratio of female participants reaching almost 50%, and diverse in terms of the animation project format with three feature films, three TV series, one TV special and five short films. The topics addressed are also varied, ranging from children's to adult issues.

The participants will follow three online and one residential module throughout the year. The closest collaborators for them will be group leaders Jean-François Le Corre (Vivement Lundi!, France) and Ole Wendorff-Østergaard (Danish Film Institute) and script advisors Rita Domonyi (Hungary) and Phil Parker (UK).

In addition to following the complete Workshop programme, four career-oriented participants will also receive personalised mentoring on their career and company strategy development. The programme tailored to the needs of animation creatives will see the selected projects from their early stages to the final developed production package, ready to access the market.
