The CEE Animation Forum, the leading pitching, financing and co-production event for animated projects, has announced the call for submissions for its 12th edition, with the deadline set for 30 April.

Animators, directors and industry professionals can submit their works in four categories: features, series/TV specials, shorts and student films. The two-day event is set to take place from 12-13 November 2024 in Pilsen, Czech Republic.

Every year, almost 200 film professionals are invited to witness the pitching competition between the most promising European animation projects. 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 CEE Animation Forum places great emphasis on networking in the form of one-to-one meetings.

The CEE Animation Forum is financially supported by the Czech Film Fund, the Czech Audiovisual Producers’ Association and the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
