Creative Media Industry Forum

Welcome to CMIF 2023, the annual one-day conference tailored for Producers and Creative Leads within the animation and VFX industry, set against the vibrant backdrop of the Viborg Animation Festival.

The purpose of CMIF is to guide you through the dynamic currents of the animation industry, embrace fresh perspectives, share knowledge and inspiration, as well as engage in networking. Hopefully, CMIF will be the stepping stone towards your next great project, partnership, or idea.

Throughout its history, the animation industry has consistently pushed the boundaries of technology or adapted new technologies, techniques and production methods, resulting in ever-evolving forms of storytelling and entertainment. CMIF 2023 will take a look at where we are now and what to expect and how new technology will influence creative choices, mindsets and business models.
