Meeting between animation & video games companies

Centre de congrès de Lyon (Cartoon Movie's venue)

Just before Cartoon Movie, take the opportunity to meet new partners from the animation or video games sector! Mutual benefit is the key.
Following the success of the first edition in 2012, Cartoon Games will now take place during a whole day (instead of an afternoon only).

One to One

Objectives

  • To create synergies between these two complementary industries.
  • In the long term, to encourage producers to bring a game partner at the same EARLY stage as the co-producer and the distributor in the process of a feature film, in order to develop concurrently a feature film and a game based on the same characters, like major hit films.

Content

Organised by CARTOON in collaboration with Imaginove

Imaginove is a Competitiveness Cluster in the Rhone-Alpes region of France, which encourages synergies and cross-functional collaboration between the various sectors of the moving image industry (video game, animation, multimedia…).

Since its inception Imaginove has been driven by the conviction that all image industry players must adapt to new ways of delivering content, requiring new development strategies with cross-media at the core!

Events like the "Global Media Connect" organized by Imaginove during the MIFA in Annecy or the Cartoon Games organised by CARTOON during the Cartoon Movie in Lyon provide a wide array of opportunities for industry professionals to adopt a cross-media strategy.
