Polish Animation Pitching & Networking Cocktail at EFM Berlinale 2026

If you want to learn more about Polish animated feature films, don’t miss the Polish Animation Pitching, taking place on 12 February at 6:00 PM at the The Studio (Gropius Bau, lower floor).

Five leading Polish animation studios will present their latest feature-length animation projects: Animoon, EGoFILM, GS Animation, Krakow Animation Center and WJTeam/Likaon. The pitching session offers a unique opportunity to discover new titles, creative voices, and production potential from Poland’s dynamic animation sector.

Following the pitching, all participants are warmly invited to a networking cocktail, where you can meet Polish producers, exchange ideas, and learn more about co-production opportunities with Poland in an informal setting.

The event is organized by SPPA – Polish Animation Producers Association, with the support of the Polish Film Institute.
