CEE Animation, in collaboration with national film institutions from Central and Eastern Europe, has launched the CODA – Co-Development Animation Awards. This new fund supports animation projects in the earliest stages of development and encourages cross-border collaboration. Independent producers from Estonia, Croatia, Hungary, Kosovo, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia can submit applications until September 27, 2026. Each project requires at least two production companies from two different member countries. There are four categories, with grants ranging from €5,000 for short films to €20,000 for feature films, series, and TV specials. Winners will be announced in November 2026.
