The event brought together more than 50 independent animated film producers, public film fund representatives, creatives and other industry professionals for three days of discussions on Green Animation and the establishment of an International Co-development Support Mechanism.
Regional animators were still basking in the glow of the Oscar win for Flow by Latvian director Gints Zilbalodis, which has shown a spotlight on animation talent in the region. The three day event was upbeat and showed animators were ready to keep up the momentum despite the many challenges faced by animation in Europe.
