CEE Animation Forum, the leading regional pitching, financing, and co-production market for European animated projects, took place in Pilsen from November 4–6, 2025. Following two intensive days of pitching sessions, one-on-one meetings, networking, and a panel discussion focused on co-development funding for European animation, the awards were presented to the winning pitches.
Director Ivona Juka has been awarded the Main Prize of the 35th FilmFestival Cottbus. Her production BEAUTIFUL EVENING, BEAUTIFUL DAY (HR/PL/CA/CY/BA, 2024, 137 min) received the €15,000 award. The film impressed the International Festival Jury and was honored for its “courage to address untold stories, (...) to open dialogue, to look at old wounds with honesty, and to think bravely about ways forward.”
