The Annecy Intl. Animation Film Festival will be part of Amigos de la Liga , a new partnership initiative set up by La Liga, the animation alliance created to promote the Ibero-American animation sector worldwide, comprising Spain’s Quirino Awards, Argentina’s Animation! and Mexico’s Pixelatl Festival.
Some of the conclusions drawn by participants and at the round table were that Latin American animation production is clearly increasing in quality, industry competitiveness and presence at international festivals. The sector needs, however, to strengthen a common legal framework of co-operation in the region. Animation is a complex sector that requires a huge co-operative effort and Ibero-America is a good location for this, due to the language, among other reasons.
“The number of projects and their quality are growing every year. This is also true in Ventana Sur selection,” Annecy MIFA head Véronique Encrenaz told She added: “When we were working alongside Silvina, we began to discover projects of high visual quality and originality, with their own aesthetics, infrequent in other countries. There’s also a new kind of story, more contemporary or futuristic, less legends.
According to the Quirino Awards-backed White Paper, including Latin America, Spain and Portugal, the 23-countries region includes 867 animation production companies, 261 animation training centers, 26 animation associations and 92 animation events.This year Ibermedia, the pan-regional audiovisual fund, allocated 25% of its development incentives to animation. In dollar terms, it’s an increase of 649% compared with 2018 figures– from $22,000 to $142,854.
