Anima Spirit unites passionate professionals in the animation film industry under the expert guidance of top tutors and the CEE Animation Workshop team.<\/p>\n

The Lab\u2019s mission is clear: to encourage idea-sharing, build strong networks, and boost international cooperation in animation. It serves as an entry point for producers and filmmakers from live-action and documentary backgrounds, offering them a fascinating introduction to the world of animated film production.<\/p>\n

Led by industry experts Sabine Andersone<\/b> (Atom Art<\/a>, Latvia) and Martin Vandas<\/b> (MAUR film<\/a>, Czech Republic), the workshop combines group work, one-on-one consultations, networking opportunities, and pitching sessions for a comprehensive learning experience.<\/p>\n

This year, nine participants from seven countries\u2014spanning both developed regions and non-EU areas like Canada\u2014bring their unique skills and a shared enthusiasm for animation. Their diversity enriches the Lab and maximizes its potential.<\/p>\n
