This report represents the contribution of the European Audiovisual Observatory to the anniversary edition of the festival, which takes place in Amsterdam from 12 to 21 October 2011. The report will be presented during the CINEKID for Professionals Conference on 18 October 2011. The European Audiovisual Observatory is a European public service body comprised of 37 member states and the European Union, represented by the European Commission. It operates within the legal framework of the Council of Europe and works alongside a number of partner and professional organisations from within the industry and with a network of correspondents. The mission of the Observatory is to gather and distribute information on the audiovisual industry in Europe. In addition to contributions to conferences, other major activities are the publication of a Yearbook, newsletters and reports, the compilation and management of databases and the provision of information through the Observatory's Internet site (http://www.obs.coe.int).
