Cartoon Movie in Lyon 6-8 march 2013
There’s no question that Cartoon Movie is the top event for all financial stakeholders in the animation field.The event is attended by decision-makers, distributors, investors and new media players and it is a place where implementation of a European cooperation strategy among financing sectors is encouraged. What’s more, the attendees have a unique opportunity to preview new films here, even in the concept stage.
Cartoon Movie has been held in Rhône-Alpes for 5 years now, and Imaginove is one of its active partners. For the Grand Lyon and Rhône-Alpes regional governments, Cartoon Movie is essential to the stimulation, development and overall expansion of the moving images industry. By hosting this event, the region strengthens its positioning in this buoyant and dynamic field composed of 700 companies, 23 research labs, 28 image-related training entities and renowned centers of excellence. The local authorities have thus chosen to ensure the regional durability of this event, ranking it as a priority in their creative industry strategy. The latter has been set to assist and enhance certain sectors such as images, fashion and design, and to boost innovative processes via creativity and a crossing-over of sectors.

Through its partnership with Cartoon Movie since 2009, Imaginove has been able to showcase the ties between animation and video games in an original manner. Lyon is particularly well endowed in this sphere: as the second European metropolis for interactive entertainment the city has approximately thirty development studios. To name a few: Arkane Studio, Ivory Tower and Artefacts Studio. Likewise, it hosts a number of major international events such as the Serious Games Expo.
In this vein, and following last year’s success, a day of meetings between video game and animation professionals will be held at the Lyon convention center, Wed. March 6 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. This special Cartoon Games is targeted at stimulating synergy between these two complementary industries.
