MFG Film Funding is convinced that “Animation Media” is one of the most important fields in the Stuttgart film region. It is determined to raise the regional animation / VFX industry to a new level. In order to do justice to the rapid development of digital animation and to the strong potential of regional firms in this field, MFG Film Funding has set up with the financial assistance of the European Regional Development Fund a new cluster initiative dedicated exclusively to animation and VFX: the Animation Media Cluster Region Stuttgart. The cluster consists of several strong VFX service providers and animation studios around which many very small enterprises and regionally based freelancers are grouped. Unlike a rigid network, the companies represented are completely independent and in some cases even rivals in their day-to-day business but can become collaborators in the case of an attractive major commission (“coopetition”). Cluster management promotes know-how and technology transfer, creates synergies and strengthens interdisciplinary cooperation. The objective is to network and strengthen the region’s companies, to acquire attractive projects and to open up new perspectives for the excellently trained talents graduating from the region’s film, media and art schools every year. Together with the Stuttgart / Ludwigsburg region, common technical and organizational structures are being developed which offer international film production companies the bundled capacity of the region and the suitable framework conditions in order to ensure the desired security and quality for attractive large-scale projects.
