Public Broadcasters Take Limelight at 35th Edition of Cartoon Forum
Contracting markets and growing diversity mark the 35th edition of Cartoon Forum, Europe's premier TV co-production forum.
With a touch more than 25% of this year’s selection coming from first-time participants, Maes sees a clear connection between an influx of new blood and a surge of young adult and adult-oriented titles. Public outfits like France Television, Arte, and Belgium’s VRT and RTBF, alongside streaming services like Crunchyroll and ADN, have all helped underwrite this boom, while equivalent broadcasters in Scandinavia have been slower to warm to older-skewing fare. And so, with older-skewing titles like “Marie Curie’s Great War,” “Mechozaurs: The Voice from Afar,” “Queerstory,” The Broos,” “Tilt,” and “Ultra” all on display, the Cartoon Forum organizers cannot wait to see how the event goes.
