Selected projects for Animation! Pitching Session 2019
Again in alliance with the Annecy Animation Festival (France), 8 TV series and 7 feature film projects have been selected to be presented in the Animation! Pitching Sessions.
These projects will be featured in Animation! Pitching Sessions before an audience of professionals which will include a jury made up of MIFA members and animation experts. The jury will select four winning projects (two TV series and two feature films) that will take part in a special Animation! program at Annecy 2020. The call closed breaking the record for registrations: a total of 214 projects were registered, among which 61 are feature films and 153 are TV series.
The pitching sessions will take place on December 4th and 5th in the context of the Animation! / Ventana Sur activities.
During the market days, finalists will take part in diverse trainings, and they will have the chance to practice their presentation with guidance of American specialist Heather Kenyon (ex Hanna Barbera, Cartoon Network, Starz, among others), who will be the coach for Animation! projects again this year.
