«The National Centre of Audiovisual Media and Communication -EKOME, is committed to its mission of promoting Greece as a top global audiovisual destination, providing continuous support to its industry professionals. Through its activities and programs, EKOME has created an ideal ecosystem for Greece to stand out as one of the most attractive world locations for the production of audiovisual works. The year 2020 was a milestone in our effort to strengthen and promote audiovisual productions in Greece. Through the impressive results of our incentives program, namely, the 40% cash rebate and 30% tax relief with the support of our National Network of Film Offices and thanks to the country’s emergence as one of the safest shooting locations in the world, Greece recently attracted a significant number of international high-budget productions of global distribution and this year we are witnessing a surge of creativity and an array of foreign productions choosing to film in our country and work with our professionals. Especially in the field of animation, our collaboration with the domestic community stems from our strategic cooperation with ASIFA HELLAS. EKOME is the main sponsor and key supporter of the Greek national delegation in the International Animation Festival of Annecy and MIFA, the world’s largest animation event, which promotes successful international synergies and marks an important territory for our local animation industry to thrive. We are happy to uphold the continuous development marked by the Greek animation community and we shall continue our support to further strengthen its work and international distinctions. Panos Kouanis President & CEO National Centre of Audiovisual Media and Communication-EKOME

Dear friends, ASIFA HELLAS is the Greek Animation Association, formally established as an NGO back in 2015, in Athens. This year, we commemorate the 200 years from the beginning of the Greek Revolution, the beginning of what is contemporary Greece today. On this occasion, year-round related celebrations are hosted in the country and around the world. ASIFA HELLAS could make no exception. Therefore, we have outlined a number of actions on this occasion, amongst them adapting our national brand GREECE ANIMATED to the traditional Greek shoe, named tsaroúchi. The Hellenic Animation Guide 2021 edition is a corner stone in the direction of supporting our professional community. I would like to thank EKOME for making this edition possible. Enjoy & support Greek Animation. Vassilis C. Karamitsanis President Greek Animation Association - ASIFA HELLAS

Stratos Stassinos Award The ASIFA Hellas Award for Best Greek Animated Film was introduced in 2015 by the ASIFA Hellas Board (sponsored by the Greek Film Center, and co-organized by Greekanimation. com) as a way to celebrate both the 70 years of Greek animation (1945-2015) and focus on the present and future of Greek animation artists, who are working both in Greece and abroad. The award was renamed in 2016 as Stratos Stasinos Award, to honour the eponymous Greek pioneer (1945-2009) of hand-drawn and stop-motion animation. The establishment of the Stratos Stasinos Award by ASIFA Hellas serves to acknowledge the artistic excellence and the growing international visibility of Greek animation films in recent years (2010-present), both in student and professional films; to create a strong sense of community and collaboration between Greek animators working in a field itself characterized by communal effort; and, finally, to enable and empower Greek practitioners to continue their artistic efforts in the international animation scene. Films who have already competed at Greek animation festivals serve as the pool for preliminary award selection, while the final decision is the result of voting among ASIFA

The web portal Greekanimation.com was created on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the screening of the first Greek animated movie (1945). It is an attempt to register all Greek animation works as well as those who contributed to their creation, the production companies, the festivals, the awards and in general all the information related to the history of the 8th art in Greece. The aim of the portal is to present the Greel animation worldwide and to highlight its contribution to education and organized production.
