Asian Animation Summit (AAS), will be held in South Korea this year and will be hosted by KOCCA. It will take place on Jeju Island from 7 to 9 December. An initiative of KOCCA (Korea), MDeC (Malaysia) and SIPA/DITP (Thailand), AAS 2015 is owned and produced by Kidscreen, and supported by Screen Australia. Its organizers are anticipating that 200 to 250 attendees will take part in this year’s event, which is designed to attract producers of animation who are interested in co-producing projects with Asian partners, as well as Asian broadcasters, distributors and investors from Asia and beyond.
The event’s venue is The Shilla Jeju, a five-star oceanfront hotel located just south of Hallasan Mountain, a dormant volcano that defines the island’s stunning landscape.
Over the course of the three-day event, 24 projects from Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia and elsewhere in Asia that are brand-new to the market and looking for financing and partners will be presented. And each day will begin with an informative panel discussion or presentation that explores new market trends, business models or creative techniques that are highly relevant to Asian producers.
Registration for the 2015 Asian Animation Summit is now open, with a $200 Early-Bird discount available through Friday, 11 September.
