Primanima Jumpstart is a talent development initiative that offers a opportunity for participation in a practical workshop and a script development programme. that started before the 10th Primanima World Festival of First Animation and continued throughout the year in the form of online and in-person consultations. The unique opportunity for 12 selected talents to take part in the experimental workshop is followed by a practical session in which they are working on the script of their film project with the help of a dramaturg.
Our partners are also actively involved in the implementation of Jumpstart 2022. We collaborate with prominent film and animation professional platforms in the Visegrad region. We have received great help from MOMAKIN in Poland, whose team enabled our participants to be invited to the 2022 ANIMARKT Stop Motion Forum, we have collaborated with the CEE Animation Forum, who provided practical guidance on how to apply to their well known event, and we have the chance to work on our partnership with StoryLab in Slovakia, who delegated one of our participants.
The Contemporary Animation Horizons (C:A:H) is a multiple round international workshop & animation camp launched in 2023, run by Countryside Animafest Cyprus and Primanima World Festival of First Animations. The entire programme is a talent development initiative followed by a series of creative events (screenings, masterclasses, concerts and exhibitions) in Cyprus and Hungary, which aim to highlight the expressive power of artistic and experimental animation cinema.
