About CEE Animation
After a six-year existence, Visegrad Animation Forum (VAF), a platform for the animation industry in Central and Eastern Europe that welcomed over 150 participants from all over Europe in Třeboň, Czech Republic every year, is re-branding itself into “CEE Animation”. CEE Animation consists of three main activities: CEE Animation Forum, CEE Animation Workshop and CEE Animation Talents.
CEE Animation Forum
A pitching competition of animation projects previously known as “VAF Třeboň” will be back in Třeboň from 6th to 9th May 2019 as “CEE Animation Forum”, organised in collaboration with the Anifilm International Festival of Animated Films (7th-12th May 2019). The three-day programme has not only the main pitching competition for the three categories but also a number of networking opportunities. Selected authors will have a unique opportunity to consult projects with invited experts to get valuable feedback and advice on how to improve their presentation, script, or production strategy. Competition participants can secure a chance to find a co-production partner by presenting their projects in front of more than one hundred professionals, which includes producers, TV programmers, festival directors, distributors, investors and representatives of national film funds.
