Of 14 at 17 September Autour de Minuit presented at the 21st Cartoon Forum the Babioles series based on the eponymous short film. Directed by Mathieu Auvray, Baubles brush with very short sketches the daily life of downgraded toys.
For his very first presentation at Cartoon Forum, Around midnight filled up. The Babioles project was the most followed 62 pitches of the event: 239 professionals were present in the room, dont 103 investors.
Of 14 at 17 Last September took place the now traditional Forum Cartoon, quasi-compulsory meeting of animation producers, who can present their current projects to investors and broadcasters.
For this 21st edition which took place in Sopron in Hungary, there were sixty-two projects presented. A good half of these projects will obtain financing to move on to the next phase of their production or will complete their budget. But all of them will still need a lot of effort from a lot of people before they hit the screens and, Moreover, of this little boost from the public that we now call the buzz and which can, otherwise move mountains, tip over a chilly decision maker.
It is of course impossible to show here all the projects presented and these are only teasers, but here is one (all) small selection which shows that the talents, the techniques, ideas, this is not what European creators are missing, who are also not afraid to show their difference (and you will also see that some Nordics are not shy).
