Preschool Fare And Ecological Themes Mark Booming Edition Of Cartoon Forum
26.09.2022 - 15:07 / variety.com
Cartoon Forum saw the European animation scene in boom. With 292 buyers on site, the Toulouse-set event held three days of well-attended TV pitches that ran from Sept. 19 -22. Here are five key takeaways from the event. Buzz and Attendance Cheeky French short-form “The Hall of Fail” came up time and again as Cartoon Forum attendees buzzed about the 2D project that gives a loving raspberry to history’s also-rans. Dystopian Y.A. adventure “The Tern” was another major attention grabber, cited as much for its narrative ambition as for its elaborate sci-fi design. Still, if older skewing projects got the people talking, preschool fare got them buying – or at least, drew the largest shares of buyers to the pitch. Projects “Tiger and Bear,” “Wild Danish,” “Trotro & Zaza,” and “BeddyByes” led the pack, with all four titles playing to rooms where buyers accounted for more than 55% of all attendees. Produced by Dutch studio Submarine, the 2D series “Max” (pictured) drew the best of both worlds, playing to a room full of buyers who would then talk up the project for the rest of the event.
Gender Parity According to participation figures released by organizers, Europe’s leading pitching event for TV animation is a 50-50 affair. Still, male directors far outnumbered their female colleagues, with just a quarter of projects selected this year directed by women and some 10% led by mixed gender teams. Parity among producers was slightly more balanced, with 54% of the projects produced by men, 26% by women, and 20% by mixed production teams. In a bid to boost gender parity, Eurimages — Europe’s main cultural support fund for the audiovisual sector — recently introduced new measures offering female directed projects supports of up to 25%
