Baden-Württemberg has been Germany‘s top location for animation and visual effects for many years. No other federal state has such a high density of animation and VFX studios. The creative professionals in these studios have received many internationally renowned prizes – including Oscars, Emmy Awards, Annie Awards, VES Awards, Deutscher Computerspielpreis ...
Behind this remarkable success is the work of the Animation Media Cluster of the Stuttgart Region (AMCRS). The network, initiated by MFG Baden-Württemberg in 2009, consists of more than 30 VFX service providers, animation studios, games & interactive studios as well as universities & academies all based in Baden-Württemberg. AMCRS thus brings together many small businesses and regional freelancers in Baden-Württemberg. It can connect more than 2.400 creative professionals, depending on the project situation. The focus of the AMCRS lies in the development and expansion of strategic & organisational structures. These concentrate the capacities in Baden-Württemberg, something which, in turn, is of great relevance for international film production companies. The AMCRS creates the necessary framework conditions to guarantee the security and quality desired by potential clients, even in large international projects. In this way, the MFG promotes the interdisciplinary and international work of these creative professionals.
Furthermore, Baden-Württemberg plays a decisive role in animation & media due to its excellent training offer. Every year, alumni of the internationally renowned Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, Hochschule der Medien, Offenburg University of Technology, Economy and Media, Trossingen University of Music and of the Media Studies degree at the University of Tübingen (part of the German Universities Excellence Initiative) establish themselves in the film industry. The aim of the MFG funding and the work of the AMCRS is to strengthen the film industry in Baden-Württemberg for these talents.
