Now entering its eighth edition, the CEE Animation Workshop welcomes a new selection of projects and participants. Twelve projects and 31 participants from 18 countries have been carefully chosen from 55 applications submitted from 27 countries. Participants and their teams will embark on a year-long intensive programme, developing projects from early concept to market-ready production packages.

\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

This year\u2019s lineup includes 6 feature films, 3 TV series and 3 short films<\/b>. Once again, the workshop welcomes participants from across Europe while maintaining focus on the CEE region and low production capacity countries. Producers and their creative teams with selected projects, including a scholarship-winning project from CEE Animation Forum 2025, will be joined by two career-oriented participants without projects, as well as two animation script consultant trainees.<\/p>\n

Throughout the year, participants will engage in group work, masterclasses, expert lectures, and individual consultations, under the guidance of group leaders: esteemed producers R\u00e9ka Temple <\/b>(Cinemon Entertainment, HU) and Annemie Degryse<\/b> (Lumiere Group \/ Beast Studio, BE), and seasoned script consultants Phil Parker <\/b>(UK) and Rita Domonyi <\/b>(HU).<\/p>\n

The workshop will consist of four modules: two online (May and October) and two on-site (February 23\u2013March 1 in Lillehammer, Norway, and July 27\u2013August 2 in Budapest, Hungary). Upon completing the workshop, participants will gain privileged access to the CEE Animation network and various industry and market events across Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are ready to launch the 2026 edition of the year-long workshop with new partners and old friends. We are grateful for the continuous support of the Creative Europe – MEDIA, and thankful to our partners Lillywood and Animation Norway to have the opportunity to visit Lillehammer now and to the Hungarian Animation Producers Association to be able to go to Budapest in the summer, and connect with both animation industries. We are excited to meet and to welcome the eighth generation of international participants, who are coming as part of interesting project teams, career-oriented participants and the new script consultants in animation trainees<\/i>\u201d, commented Sa\u0161a Bach<\/b>, the Managing Director of the CEE Animation Workshop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
