CARTOON CONNECTION is a new programme intended to initiate and establish lasting professional relationships between European producers / distributors and their counterparts based in other continents. The first events of the kind took place in Argentina (Buenos Aires) in November 2009 and South Korea (Jeju Island) in March 2010.
The next edition will be held in Ottawa (Canada) from 18 to 21 October 2010.
This new initiative was born under the umbrella of the preparatory action MEDIA International, which aims at reinforcing cooperation between EU and non-European professionals from the audiovisual industry on a basis of mutual benefit, as well as improving the exhibition and circulation of European audiovisual works in third countries and vice versa.
The 3-day meeting will alternate formal speaker’s presentations, panel sessions during round tables and project presentations.
The programme content will offer attending animation professionals practical tools to work together with particular focus on financing, distribution and co-productions.
The ultimate aim of CARTOON CONNECTION is to increase knowledge of the different markets, promotion, networking and distribution of animation works for both European and international professionals and to facilitate cooperation between Europe and the different continents in the field of animation.
