Berlin Animation Hub
With the introduction of the Berlin Animation Hub in 2023, the FAB’s networking and business program was given its own dedicated space for the first time. The Hub quickly established itself as a key platform for exchange and collaboration within the animation industry.
In 2025, the Berlin Animation Hub will once again be an essential part of the festival, offering a diverse range of events for commissioners and creators, industry professionals and newcomers alike — including masterclasses, workshops, pitching sessions, talks, panels, and networking formats. With this focus, FAB continues its vision of strengthening Berlin as a production hub for animation and positioning the city as an international platform for co-productions.
