The Hellenic Animation Association ASIFA Hellas implements the #GreekAnimationRocks_at_Annecy action, with the support of SecGen for Media & Communication of the Greek Film Center and the Institut Français d’Athènes.
The action will be implemented for the second consecutive year within the framework of the Annecy International Animation Festival (11-17 / 6/2017) and aims at highlighting and promoting the creative potential of Greece and the Greek spirit everywhere, seeking the greatest possible publicity as well as the extroversion of the sector regarding future productive actions and the realization of international co-productions.
In this context, the creation of a Greek pavilion is organized in the Agora of the international festival, as well as screenings of Greek animation production plans in the Video Library of the festival, speeches of directors who take part in the competition section, presentation in the international press of the new co-production view in Greece, distribution of promoting material for companies, festivals and schools operating in Greece and Cyprus and a networking event with international co-producers where the bilingual catalog of 70 years of Greek animation will be distributed, which was also published thanks to a donation from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
