UK based artists and animators are invited to submit proposals for films to be broadcast on Channel 4 and streamed on 4mations, Channel 4’s new animation website launching September 2008.

We want ambitious, original and thought-provoking proposals that develop the possibilities of animation techniques, and that explore ideas of what animation is, with challenging content, as well as new forms and processes, compelling narratives and challenging content.

We are commissioning three films, and the maximum budget for each is £20,000, including the artist’s fee. Animate Projects will provide you with production and editorial support.

Download the guidelines from the Opportunities section of animateprojects.org. Deadline for applications: 31 July 2008.
