About

Animation HUB

Animation HUB (AHUB) is an  online platform dedicated to discovering outstanding European animated films and keeping them visible over time. Its mission is to connect talented creators with global audiences and ensure that high-quality animation remains accessible beyond its festival life.

Initiated and run by CEE Animation, AHUB offers a curated online library with a strong focus on animation from Central and Eastern Europe. The platform combines public access to exceptional animated works with a dedicated space for film professionals for networking, knowledge sharing, and international collaboration.

AHUB primarily focuses on short films, works that often disappear once their festival run is over.  While many titles eventually appear online, they are scattered across platforms and hard to find.  AHUB responds to this gap by offering a centralized database of legally available and verified content. From award-winning shorts and student films to feature-length works and children’s programming, the platform ensures that animated films remain visible, well contextualized, and usable for the audience long after their premieres.

Beyond access, AHUB supports the animation ecosystem in a sustainable way through curated collections, creator profiles, and editorial content that place films within a broader cultural, educational, and artistic context. These tools help audiences discover animation in a meaningful way and  support filmmakers and producers in presenting their work internationally.

In its next phase, AHUB plans to expand its activities through professional events and concrete outputs. These will include online webinars focused on film promotion, distribution strategies, and responsible content creation for young audiences. A dedicated professional section, AHUB Pro, is being developed to connect filmmakers, studios, schools, buyers, broadcasters, and festivals, supporting networking and the long-term circulation of animated works. The platform will also develop and share tools such as the Young Audience Rating System, strengthening the educational use of animation and ensuring safe, age-appropriate access for children.

The project is developed in close collaboration with key partners across the animation sector and continues to grow by integrating new regions, talents, and perspectives into a shared European space for animation, exchange and collaboration.
