Basement Animation

We’ve just returned from an inspiring week at .eu Movie 2026 in Bordeaux, France.

A major highlight for us at as we pitch “EJO,” an animated feature film we are co-producing with , and IYUGI.

The project was nominated for the Council of Europe Co-production Development Award, an initiative by Eurimages and the Council of Europe that supports international co-productions at the earliest stages of development.

Each year, only a small number of projects at Cartoon Movie are selected to compete for this recognition. To see EJO among them was an important milestone for the entire team.

“EJO” is co-produced by Animoon, Basement Animation, Special Touch Studios, and IYUGI, with financing support from the Polish Film Institute.

We’re grateful to everyone who has contributed to bringing this project this far and to the many partners and collaborators we connected with during the week.
