the animate! funding scheme

animate! is the longest-running broadcaster-linked scheme ever financed by the Arts Council of England. It is maintained by the most consistent commitment ever made by Channel 4 Television, or indeed any broadcaster world-wide, to the independent production of innovative and challenging film, video and digital works.

During its first twelve years the scheme has commissioned 60 projects and has acquired an international reputation for innovation, experimentation and diversity in animation. The commissions are broadcast by Channel 4 and have gained critical and popular success at international festivals and achieved television sales around the world.

animate! rotates around an annual UK-wide call for entries and supports between four and six personal projects each year.
