Skwigly
Belgian and international animation professionals will be at Futuranima in Flagey, from Monday 24th to Saturday 29th February 2020.
These annual professional meetings are part of the Anima Festival, taking place in Brussels from 21st February to 1st March 2020.
Attendees will be able to meet up with leading film directors from production studios in Belgium, check out pitch sessions of short films in progress and take part in a masterclass about screenplay writing or character design.
The Festival will also play host to a meeting for animation festival organizers across Europe, and a day will be devoted to the connections that unite comic books and cartoon: royalty free comic books, author’s career paths, debates etc.
Belgian studios are recruiting
Some of the biggest Belgian animation studios will be visiting Futuranima to present future projects and those in progress. These presentations will be followed by a recruitment session for experienced animators, preselected for an individual interview. We will also take advantage of the presence of studio professionals for an information session about the intricacies of work contracts, as well as a meeting devoted to VR technology (virtual reality and 360° films) and video games.
While all this is going on, Anima 2020 will be in full swing with screenings of getting on for 300 features and short films, including an international competition for feature films, national and international short film competitions, retrospectives, a tribute to the Mélusine studio, a focus on Scandinavian animation, and a host of other events such as the Animated Night, concerts, exhibitions and other entertainment. Around fifty international guests are also expected at the Festival.
Full programme details will be online on 30th January 2020.
