A meeting of Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian animation professionals planned as a two-day event during which participants will focus on the most current developments and issues facing the animation industry. The aim of this meeting is to create a space and forum for getting to know each other so that we can discuss and agree on new joint initiatives on a Baltic scale.

The event will take place from October 18 to 19, 2019.

On the first day, the focus will be on animation co-productions and will include animation studio and individual filmmaker portfolio presentations, a panel discussion of case studies, and an overview of funding opportunities; a networking event will close the evening.
On the second day, there will be two separate panel discussions on the acute issues currently confronting the animation industry in the Baltics: educational opportunities for animation professionals; and problems and possible solutions concerning the distribution of animation short films for adult audiences.

To apply as a presenter and to participate in the private networking events, please contact the project’s manager, Anna Zača anna@rigaiff.lv.
