CEE Animation forum 2019
International Festival of Animated Films, 7 - 12 May 2024, Czech Republic

CEE Animation forum 2019

Dates: May 6 – 8, 2019 / Třeboň, Czech Republic

The CEE Animation Forum (previously VAF Třeboň) pitching competition is open for animated projects in development. There are three categories:

  •  Short films (single film less than 20 minutes long)
  •  Series and TV Specials (web and TV series of any format and single films over 20 min.)
  • Feature Films (in concept, in development or in production)

In order to prepare a public pitching session for the submitted projects selected, we propose a support program of several workshops. Each participating team (producer and author) will get a unique opportunity for in-depth consultation (20 minutes) with an experienced professional on their story concept, project development, financial plan, market or festival strategy, possible coproduction workflow separation etc.

The CEE Animation Forum has grown into a platform where producers can build networks among themselves and with CEE region broadcasters, present new talents and their creative work for EU producers and help find financing and distribution for their projects. In addition to the main pitching competition, the three-day programme offers a number of presentations, debates and screenings. Animation professionals at the forum can acquire skills and know-how from foreign experts from the field as well as useful contacts that will contribute to making their animated project a success.

The CEE Animation (previously VAF) is an international platform with the goal of supporting film professionals while helping them to develop their animation projects with experienced international professionals, and to help them create an international network.
