Association of Czech Animation Film is mapping the Czech Animation Industry

The Association of Czech Animation film (ASAF) associates prominent Czech producers, independent filmmakers and animation studios who have decided to cooperate and actively take part in the development of animation as an industry in the Czech Republic and its promotion abroad. Its main goal is to improve the conditions for production and distribution of animated films in the Czech Republic as Czech animation is, in terms of employment and economic performance, stagnating.

ASAF therefore actively promotes a formulation of a strategic plan of animation development based on ASAF’s mapping of the current status of the animation industry including a proposition of its further development. In the first half of this year, a detailed survey among producers, animation and VFX studios, schools and independent artists has been conducted. Its aim was to verify the hypotheses from the initial analysis (available here) to present the processed results to selected stakeholders in private and public spheres including potential investors.

The results of the survey will be published at www.asaf.cz during November. We would like to thank all those who participated in the survey and contributed to a purposeful development of the Czech animation industry.
