Animate Projects invites UK based artists and animators to submit proposals for films to be broadcast on Channel 4 and 4mations, the new animation online channel that launches in September 2008.

We want ambitious, original and thought-provoking proposals that develop the possibilities of animation techniques: films 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 fee. Animate Projects provides production and editorial support.

AnimateTV films are commissioned by Channel 4 and supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
