Greater than ever before, the animation industry by Pixelatl Festival begins today in Mexico

Pixelatl Festival begins today in Cuernavaca, Mexico, in what promises to be the largest event of its kind in the animation industry, which took place in Mexico ever. I the two previous editions of the Laguna Festival Chroma Festival and Festival took in the last few years, but this year's event is unprecedented in size and scope of the Mexican community conversation.

One of the main objectives of this event, which is sponsored by the government-funded Pixelatl is to promote a culture that studios Mexican development, production and export of the original IP.

Although the animation industry in Mexico has in the last ten years, more than one service workflow-oriented financial industry is the western Mexican producers and only a handful of TV-series was created in the last decade the original in Mexico. Industry and jobs in its infancy: start growing budgets, thanks to government subsidies and tax incentives, but there are a small number of studios, employment opportunities consistent, making it difficult to build production teams and focus on long-term development makes.

With these objectives in mind, the main component of the festival is the idea Pixelatl up doing. Invited animation and independent directors from around the studios in Mexico ideas, and provided more than 250 projects. From these entries, the last six were selected to present their projects at the event, the project to $ 250,000 pesos (about $ 19,000) will be selected, maintained to produce the project. All participants will have the opportunity to participate in workshops to refine their ideas and meet other studios, producers and network executives.

And you can control the amount of festivals and the highest in see the list of invitees containing the largest delegation of foreign visitors ever happened invitation to Mexican film. Among the dozens of animation and the owners of the studio execs and personalities of the industry, workshops, lectures, panel discussions and John Kricfalusi (Ren and Stimpy), (will provide Robert Valley Wonder Woman , Gorilla) Stefan Frank ( The Smurfs: Legend Smurfy hollow ), Marty Cooper ( August (de) actually works ), Luis Tacna ( Rio 2096 ), the artist Disney Interactive rendering Zapata, director of the film Portuguese Figo father, Katarzyna Szymon Gromadzka and Wolski Studio Polish Si Ma Jim Parkyn from Aardman, and Augusto Schillaci (VFX Supervisor on the book Fox for life.), I am pleased in the festival, where I give a paper on the creative to participate to learn from the life of the director of Disney Animation and Ward Kimball and lessons.
