ANIMATION WORLD MAGAZINE - ISSUE 4.7 - OCTOBER 1999

Events

The Tenth Cartoon Forum. From September 22 to 26, the 1999 Cartoon Forum welcomed 620 participants, among which was Animation World Network's own Ron Diamond, in Cordoba, Spain. This record attendance shows that this event, organized over the last 10 years with support from the European Union Media program, has been established as an important industry event. This year sixty-nine projects seeking partners were offered to potential investors and producers. Over 150 projects initiated at the Forum in previous years have been produced and broadcast within the past ten years. This "Coproductions Forum" is organized every year in a different country with the purpose of promoting local production and closely involving both public authorities and national broadcasters. Among this year's projects offered are Rabbits from Aardmann, Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire from Picasso Pictures, and The Greenmans and The World Of Tosh, both from Sweden's Happy Life Corporation. The Cartoon d'Or was awarded on Saturday, September 25, and was announced in the Animation Flash of September 28, 1999. The six nominees were: L'Arme Du Crocodile by Eric Blesin, El Carminante by Debra Smith, Jolly Roger by Mark Baker, Migration by Constantin Chamski, Le Cyclope De La Mer by Philippe Julien and Saltkvernen by Pjotr Sapegin.
