Nine French producers and key players in the French animation industry will
attend Kunjanimation 2013, the South African Animation Festival, which runs from 4
to 8 November in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
The goal of the French delegation visit is to conduct business discussions and explore
possible cooperation strategies for potential co-productions and production service
contracts with South African studios and producers.
This marks the second leg of the annual South African / French exchanges, which
started at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France in June this year.
Kunjanimation 2013 and Animation SA are joining forces with the French Institute of
South Africa for some French animation screenings and the French animation
delegation programme.
The French delegation visiting South Africa comprises:
• Patrick Hernandez / Baghera Films (www.bagherafilms.com)
• Pascal Le Notre / Foliascope (www.lacartoucherie.fr/foliascope)
• Mathieu Courtois / Vivement Lundi (www.vivement-lundi.com)
• Camille Serceau / Je Suis Bien Content (www.jsbc.fr/en/demos-en.html)
• Natalie Altmann / Media Valley (www.mediavalley.fr)
• Cyril Le Pesant / Knightworks (www.knightworks.fr)
• Thomas Kornfeld / Nomad Films (www.nomad-films.com)
• Veronique Encrenaz / Annecy Festival Market (www.annecy.org/annecy-
2013/mifa:en/programme:en)
• Marie Souflot / Imaginove (www.imaginove.eu/front/index.php)
The French delegation’s participation is a reflection of the South African animation
industry’s strengthening links with the French industry and highlights the local
animation industry’s development and its increasing global exposure.
