Event Description

CEE Animation is an umbrella of regional activities for the promotion and development of animation and its talents in more than 20 countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The objective of CEE Animation is to raise the competencies of professionals and give them equal access to financing and the markets as their Western peers, by fostering co-production and sustainable business models.

Each year, the organizers invite almost 200 film professionals to follow the competition between the most promising European animation projects.

Submissions are open to European animated projects in development in 4 categories:

  • Feature Films (minimum length of 60 minutes; in concept, in development or in production),
  • Series and TV Specials (web and TV series of any format and single films, minimum length of 20 minutes; all stages of development except for concept stage),\
  • Short Films (maximum length of 20 minutes; all stages of development except for concept stage),
  • Rising Stars (student short films, maximum length of 20 minutes; all stages of development except for concept stage).
