Animarkt Stop-Motion Forum 2023
Event Description:
ANIMARKT STOP MOTION FORUM is a unique meeting venue of the field’s top artists, craftsmen, producers, distributors, broadcasters, and investors. Its diversified program offers a unique combination of workshop and vocation-oriented elements on the one hand with networking and business-to-business meetings on the other, while the pitching of short puppet animations is a unique opportunity for artists.
Apart from the Pitching Competition, the main programme will comprise workshops, masterclasses and panel discussions for students and young specialists (the Masters section), this year revolving around topics related to the making of a stop motion puppet as well as relations between animation makers and producers. The third part of the programme – Business, concentrates on establishing contacts in the industry and recruitment sessions for international animation studios or stop motion projects.
2023 Call for Entries
This year pitching is in two forms:
- short projects in development with at least the first draft of the script and a duration of no more than 25 minutes
- projects of features, series, or TV specials being in different stages of realization
The necessary condition in both cases is that 80% of the animation had to be planned to be created using the stop-motion technique and also plan for sustainable production of the film that will stand for 10% of its rating
From all submissions, there will be chosen 10 projects of short films, and 10 projects of feature films and TV series that will have a chance to get in contact with people able to support the process of the film’s development, production, and/or distribution.
