Kidscreen is thrilled to announce that this year’s fifth-annual Asian Animation Summit will take place in Brisbane, Australia from November 22 to 24.
An initiative of KOCCA (Korea), MDeC (Malaysia) and SIPA/DITP (Thailand), AAS 2016 is owned and produced by Kidscreen, and generously supported by Screen Queensland and Brisbane Marketing. Its organizers are anticipating that roughly 200 attendees will take part in this year’s event, which is designed to attract producers of animation who are interested in co-producing projects with partners in Asia-Pacfic, as well as broadcasters, distributors and investors from the region and beyond.
Over the course of the three-day event, 24 projects from Australia, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and elsewhere in Asia-Pacific that are brand-new to the market and looking for financing and partners will be presented. And each day will begin with an informative panel discussion or presentation that explores new market trends, business models or creative techniques that are highly relevant to Asian-Pacific producers.
More information about AAS 2016 can be found online at www.asiananimationsummit.com. Registration is now open, and a $200 Early-Bird discount is in effect until Friday, September 2.
