A

u nom de la population de Québec, je souhaite la plus chaleureuse des bienvenues au Cartoon Connection Canada, le rendez-vous annuel des passionnés d’animation en Amérique du Nord.

Au cœur de la saison automnale, je vous invite à joindre l’utile à l’agréable en partant à la découverte des multiples attraits d’une ville d’action et de création, d’émotion et de passion, de couleurs et de saveurs.

S’il est vrai, comme le prétend l’écrivain Alphonse Allais, que les gens qui ne rient jamais ne sont pas des gens sérieux, préparez-vous à faire la connaissance d’une foule de personnes extrêmement sérieuses au cours des prochains jours ! Chaque année, l’événement est en effet le théâtre de nombreux échanges qui se déroulent dans un climat de bonne humeur propice à l’établissement de liens créatifs et commerciaux.

À toutes et à tous, je souhaite un excellent séjour !

Capitale prospère, branchée et animée, Québec est fière de participer à la tenue de cette importante rencontre génératrice d’idées, de complicités et de projets porteurs d’avenir.

If it is true, as claimed by writer Alphonse Allais, that people who never laugh are not serious people, prepare yourselves to become acquainted with a lot of very serious people over the next few days! Indeed, each year, the event sets the stage for many conversations that take place in a climate of good humour conducive to building both creative and commercial ties.

To one and all, I wish you an excellent stay!

elefilm Canada joins Cartoon Connection to gather the industry, creative talents and the public around stories—funny, sad or deeply moving—that shape our culture and mark our collective imagination.

Placing the promotion of Canadian film firmly at the centre of its mission, Telefilm supports original initiatives that foster the discovery of emerging creative talents and the rediscovery of more seasoned filmmakers. Our organization works closely with the industry and with numerous partners to spur our cinema to ever-greater heights, at home and on the international scene.

Chers amis et partenaires,

L

e milieu du jeu vidéo et de l’animation n’a jamais été aussi dynamique, connaissant une croissance fulgurante ces dernières années. Il s’agit donc d’une fierté pour la Société de développement des entreprises culturelles (SODEC) de participer à la tenue d’un événement contribuant grandement à cette prospérité, soit Cartoon Connection Canada. Événement dont la notoriété n’est plus à faire, ce rendez-vous est devenu une véritable mecque pour les professionnels du jeu vidéo et de l’animation. Grâce à une programmation fortement axée sur le réseautage, producteurs, diffuseurs et artisans en provenance du Canada, de l’Amérique du Sud et de l’Europe auront plus d’une fois l’occasion de tisser des liens et d’ainsi faire germer de nombreux partenariats et projets. À cela s’ajoute une multitude de conférences, d’ateliers et de présentations permettant de stimuler créativité et réflexion.

La SODEC est une fois de plus emballée d’apporter son soutien à un événement aussi fertile en matière de projets et, conséquemment, en retombées positives pour nos artisans québécois.

Alors que l’an dernier avait donné lieu à de fructueux échanges, associations et contrats, je ne peux que souhaiter tout autant sinon plus aux participants de cette édition 2016.

Un excellent Cartoon Connection à tous !

Au fil des années, cet événement est devenu un rendez-vous incontournable de l’industrie de l’animation.

Cartoon Connection joue un rôle essentiel, celui de favoriser la commercialisation internationale des propriétés intellectuelles des producteurs québécois et de faire rayonner la créativité et le savoir-faire de nos studios d’animation.

Le Bureau est fier de s’associer à cet événement porteur, car ce faisant, il assume pleinement son mandat de développement de la filière audiovisuelle du Québec.

Notre objectif est d’intensifier les coopérations et les coproductions entre l’Europe et le Canada

C’

est avec un grand plaisir que nous revenons à Québec pour célébrer la 7ème édition de Cartoon Connection.

Notre objectif est d’intensifier les coopérations et les coproductions entre l’Europe et le Canada et de permettre l’émergence de liens professionnels durables entre les producteurs, les diffuseurs et les distributeurs européens et canadiens.

L’an dernier, 43% des 78 projets présentés par les européens ont déclaré être dans des discussions très avancées, voire finalisées avec des canadiens, ce dont nous nous réjouissons.

Afin de consolider encore ces collaborations, nous permettons à des producteurs canadiens qui sont associés à un projet européen ou qui ont un projet canadien avec un partenaire européen de participer à nos deux plateformes de coproduction : le Cartoon Forum de Toulouse en septembre (pour les séries TV : 950 participants, 260 acheteurs, 35 pays) et au Cartoon Movie en mars (pour les longs

métrages d’animation : 730 participants, 200 acheteurs dont 120 distributeurs, 35 pays).

Plusieurs producteurs canadiens ont d’ailleurs déjà participé aux deux événements.

Pour cette 7ème édition donc, et parmi l’ensemble des projets qui seront discutés lors des rencontres bilatérales, nous allons distinguer 2 projets canadiens à qui nous décernerons un “Cartoon Connection Award” : un sésame qui permettra à son lauréat d’accéder directement au Cartoon Forum ou au Cartoon Movie en 2017.

Cette année, nous accueillons également avec plaisir une dizaine de producteurs du Mexique et du Costa Rica.

Je remercie chaleureusement notre fidèle partenaire qu’est le Programme Creative Europe/MEDIA de l’Union Européenne et notre co-organisateur, Pixel, ainsi que tous ses partenaires canadiens.

Our objective is to revive co-operations and co-productions between Europe and Canada

I

t is with great pleasure that we are returning to Québec to celebrate the 7th edition of Cartoon Connection. Our objective is to revive co-operations and co-productions between Europe and Canada and to allow the emergence of sustainable business links between European and Canadian producers, broadcasters and distributors.

Last year, 43% of the 78 projects presented by the European delegation claimed to be in advanced and for some in finalised discussions with Canadian professionals. This pleases us greatly.

To strengthen these cooperations further, we allow Canadian producers who are associated with a European project or who have their own project in association with a European partner to attend our yearly Cartoon Forum in Toulouse in September (co-production forum for TV series, 950 participants, 260 buyers, 35 countries) and the Cartoon Movie in March

(co-production forum for animated features, 730 participants, 200 buyers including 120 distributors, 35 countries). Several Canadian producers have already participated in these events.

For the 7th edition, we will select two Canadian projects from among all those to be discussed during the bilateral meetings and present them with the “Cartoon Connection Award”.

This will be their key for direct admission to the Cartoon Forum or Cartoon Movie in 2017.

We are also very happy to welcome over 10 producers from Mexico and Costa Rica.

My warm thanks goes to our loyal partner, the Creative Europe/MEDIA Programme of the European Union, and to our co-organizer, Pixel, as well as to all his Canadian partners.

Plateforme de rencontre par excellence pour les plus importants producteurs et diffuseurs

C

artoon Connection Canada en est à sa septième édition. Chaque année, il prend de plus en plus d’ampleur et répond à une demande croissante de partenariats durables, d’étonnement créatif et de plaisir. Pixel Québec est présent depuis ses débuts et toujours aussi heureux de permettre sa tenue.

Son équipe a donc créé, avec un enthousiasme palpable, un lieu unique de découvertes, d’inventivité et de rencontres marquantes pour tous les professionnels de l’animation, qu’ils viennent d’ici ou d’ailleurs !

Organisé conjointement avec Cartoon Media de la Belgique, Cartoon Connection Canada est, en effet, la plateforme de rencontre par excellence pour les plus importants producteurs et diffuseurs de l’industrie de l’Europe, du Canada et de l’Amérique latine, de même que pour les concepteurs.

Chacun y trouve sa place, chacun est impatient d’y dénicher le partenaire idéal.

C’est notamment à travers des conférences et plus de 900 one-to-one meetings que les professionnels apprennent et tissent des liens privilégiés.

Cette année, deux volets ont même été ajoutés : six classes de maîtres de haut niveau et la projection de longs métrages d’animation.

Le premier volet accueille des maîtres renommés provenant de studios de Québec et de Montréal, grandement inspirants pour les créateurs de l’industrie de l’animation. Le deuxième volet, développé en collaboration avec le cinéma Le Clap, s’adresse aux véritables passionnés d’animation et au grand public désireux d’admirer d’incomparables talents.

Bien sûr, une telle occasion professionnelle est l’œuvre d’un travail concerté. Je remercie donc vivement, au nom de toute l’équipe de Pixel Québec, nos partenaires si essentiels à la réussite de Cartoon Connection Canada : Creative Europe/ Media, Téléfilm Canada, Ville de Québec, Fonds des médias du Canada/Canada Media Fund, SODEC, Centre des congrès, Bureau du cinéma et de la télévision du Québec, Fonds Bell, Frima, Procomer du Costa Rica, Productions 10e Ave, Québec International, créneau d’excellence Arts numériques et divertissement interactif de la Capitale-Nationale et ministère de l’Économie, de la Science et de l’Innovation.

J’espère l’événement à la hauteur des attentes de tous les participants. Et, personnellement, j’exprime le souhait qu’il éveille non seulement des souvenirs précieux, mais surtout des alliances stratégiques pérennes.

Fructueux Cartoon Connection Canada !

Perfect meeting place for the most important producers and distributors

T

his is the seventh Cartoon Connection Canada. Each year, it has expanded and responded to a growing demand for lasting partnerships, creative astonishment and fun. Pixel Québec has been here since the beginning and is still happy to allow it to be held.

The team has created, with palpable enthusiasm, a unique venue for discovery, inventiveness and significant encounters for all animation professionals, wherever they come from!

Organized jointly with Cartoon Media from Belgium, Cartoon Connection Canada is the perfect meeting place for the most important producers and distributors in the industry from Europe, Canada and Latin America, as well as for designers. There is a place for everyone, and everyone is impatient to find the ideal partner here.

During presentations and at over 900 one-to-one meetings, professionals learn and make special connections. We have even added two new streams this year: six high-level master classes and screenings of animated feature films.

The first stream welcomes renowned masters from studios in Québec City and Montréal, hugely inspiring for creators in the animation industry. The second stream, developed in collaboration with the Le Clap cinema, is for true fans of animation and members of the general public who want to admire incomparable talents.

Of course, this sort of professional occasion is the result of working together. On behalf of the whole Pixel Québec team, I want to offer our hearty thanks to all our partners who are so essential to the success of Cartoon Connection Canada: Creative Europe/Media, Telefilm Canada, Québec City, the Fonds des médias du Canada/Canada Media Fund, SODEC, the Convention Centre, the Bureau du cinéma et de la télévision du Québec, the Bell Fund, Frima, Procomer of Costa Rica, 10th Ave Productions, Québec International, the Digital Arts and Interactive Entertainment niche of excellence in the Capitale-Nationale region and the Ministry of the Economy, Science and Innovation.

I hope that CCC will meet the expectations of all participants. And personally, I hope that it will create not just precious memories, but lasting strategic alliances.

Have a fruitful Cartoon Connection Canada!
