Project summary

The aim of this residency project is to play an important role in facilitating and catalysing the animator's ability to move across the world, to provide her with new ideas for her production path both through contact with the different communities linked to the three partner festivals and through the training course connected to it. The young animator will be provided with a path that will touch upon all the stages of a production process, from research to the management of the creative process, from the analysis of market needs to how to propose a project by meeting the most important institutions, funds, organisations and producers, understanding the life cycle of each animated project from pre-development to sale.
