• • Four feature films

• • Three short films

• • Two career-oriented participants (joining without production projects)

The CEE Animation Workshop will be structured into four one-week modules: two online sessions (scheduled for May and October 2025) and two in-person modules: March 10-16 in the twin cities of Nova Gorica, Slovenia, and Gorizia, Italy (both designated as E.U. European Capitals of Culture for 2025), and July 28 to August 3 in Łódź, Poland.

This year’s workshop will be led by an esteemed group of industry professionals, including Réka Temple (producer, Four Souls of Coyote | Cinemon Entertainment, Hungary), Annemie Degryse (producer, Savages | Lumière Group / Beast Studio, Belgium), Phil Parker (script consultant, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit | United Kingdom), and Rita Domonyi (script consultant, White Plastic Sky | Hungary).

“We are thrilled to kick off the magical seventh edition of the workshop with a collection of captivating projects and enthusiastic participants from across Europe. This year promises to be particularly special, as we introduce new group leaders, accomplished producers Annemie Degryse and Réka Temple, and commence our first module in Nova Gorica-Gorizia, the European Capital of Culture 2025. We are also eager to visit Łódź for our summer module and participate in the CEE Animation Forum 2025 in November, which will serve as a wonderful conclusion to this edition. We anticipate a busy and inspiring year ahead!” stated Saša Bach, the Managing Director.

The CEE Animation Workshop is organized by the Slovene Animated Film Association (DSAF), CEE Animation, the Slovak Association of Animated Film Producers (APAF), and the Polish Animation Producers’ Association (SPPA).
