ANIMATION MEDIA CREATORS REGION STUTTGART

LOCATION.

In recent years, Baden-Württemberg has risen to become the leading German location for animated films and the production of digital visual effects, or VFX for short. This is impressively proved by a study published in January 2025 by the research institute Goldmedia. The study states, among other things, that turnover in the local animation and VFX industry has grown by a significant 800% since 2010 to reach 170 million euros since 2022.

No other federal state has such a high density of animation and VFX studios.
The creative professionals in these studios have received numerous internationally renowned prizes- including Oscars, Emmy Awards, Annie Awards, VES Awards and the Deutscher Computerspielpreis Award.

NETWORK.

Behind this remarkable success is the work of the Animation Media Cluster of the Stuttgart Region (AMCRS). The network, initiated by the MFG Baden-Württemberg, consists of nearly 40 VFX service providers, animation studios, games and interactive studios, as well as universities and academies all based in Baden-Württemberg. Many small companies and, depending on the order situation, more than 2.400 creative professionals are grouped around them.

The focus of the AMCRS lies in the development and expansion of technical and administrative structures. These concentrate the capacities in Baden-Württemberg, something which, in turn, is of great relevance for international film production companies. The AMCRS create 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.

PROMOTION.

Furthermore, Baden-Württemberg plays a decisive role in animation and media due to its excellent training offer. Every year, alumni of the internationally renowned Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, the Hochschule der Medien, the Offenburg University of Technology, Economy and Media, the 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 Film Funding and the work of the AMCRS is to strengthen the film industry in Baden-Württemberg for these talents.
