CARTOON CONNECTION is a new programme intended to develop commercial and creative links between European animation professionals and their counterparts based in South Korea, Canada and Latin America, in order to improve mutual knowledge of the different markets and to encourage cooperation and circulation of animation works between both sides.
Each event alternates informative speakers’ presentations, giving a useful background to understand the economics of EU and non EU markets, with co-production case studies, to illustrate how companies from each territory can successfully work together, and one-to-one meetings of 15 minutes, allowing participants from each side to meet in a short time many potential partners.
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.
