The main project objectives of Cartoon Connection are to create professional relationships between European animation professionals and their counterparts from Korea and Canada with a view to developing common projects and ultimately increase the production and distribution of animation works within our continents.More specifically, the objectives of CARTOON CONNECTION 2014 are to:- Increase cooperations, co-productions and the development of common projects in animation between Europe and third-countries through business-to-business exchanges. - Build structural co-operation with Asia, and with Canada & Latin America, by nibbling away at market shares in places where European animation is not yet well implanted.- Create more business opportunities through one-to-one meetings.- Give European producers the possibility to meet the main producers from these countries, and to also have the opportunity to meet the major broadcasters & distributors.- Give the opportunity to smaller European countries and smaller producers to attend the event and have access to international co-production encounters. - Enlarge the European market for animated TV series and feature films on traditional and digital windows through a cross-sectoral approach: facilitate access to both events to technological actors looking for content and cross-media producers (coming from other sectors than animation), doing video games, web series, social gaming, etc. and interested in working with animation companies.- Promote European culture in other continents/countries, and improve the distribution of European animated films and series.- Enlarge access to the event to other Asian countries (in Korea) and Latin American countries (in Canada), which meet the expectations of European producers.- Allow non-EU co-producers of European programmes to attend the Cartoon Forum and the Cartoon Movie, with a pre-selection procedure during Cartoon Connection events.
