Our aim<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The CEE Animation Forum is the leading regional pitching, financing and co-production event. It aims to boost the projects\u00b4 international potential, visibility and their access to a wider European market.<\/p>\n

With our growing professional network we are building strong community with the aim to support the projects, to boost circulation of works, creative ideas and creating new partnerships, to give media exposure to selected projects through various media partners and to promote projects during the whole year, not only during the event, to follow the life of the project after Forum as well.<\/p>\n

The main focus remains on two most important activities of Forum: pitching of European animated projects in development and on 1:1 industry meetings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
