EVENT

The Animation Bar - Stockholm

Cinematic has been organizing the Animation Bar in Stockholm since 2009. It’s a regular gathering for people working in animation, games, and VFX - a place to meet, talk, have a drink, and get to know others in the industry.

​

When we first started, it was just a small gathering with a few people, most of whom we already knew. But over the years, the Animation Bar has grown. So much so that we’ve had to change venues several times because the place became too small - or too hot. And on a couple of occasions, we even managed to drink the bar out of beer. 

The idea has even travelled beyond Stockholm, with spin-off Animation Bars taking place in both Zagreb and Malmö.

​

Over the years, we’ve also collaborated with companies, game studios and festivals to create special editions of the Animation Bar. We’ve organized events together with game studios and companies such as Wacom and TVPaint, and hosted everything from presentations and screenings to festival opening parties and other industry gatherings.

​

We’ve also hosted movie nights featuring short films, commercials, and work-in-progress clips made by people from the Animation Bar community.

​

It’s always a lot of fun, so don’t feel shy. Come join us at the next Animation Bar - everyone is welcome!
