MEDIA I.M. CLOSES DEALS in SWEDEN, NORWAY and ISRAEL Kikoriki, Rosa & Dara and Pin-Code Kick Start 2016 Sales Charge London MEDIA I.M. CLOSES DEALS IN SWEDEN, NORWAY AND ISRAEL Kikoriki, Rosa & Dara and Pin-Code kick start 2016 sales charge London, February, 2016 Media I.M., the London-based content distribution company that specialises in premium animation and family entertainment, has licenced three of its top children’s shows to broadcasters in Sweden, Norway and Israel, it was reported today. Swedish broadcaster SVT has acquired Bionaut’s Rosa and Dara and Their Great Holiday Adventures TV special (1x 26 min) for its children’s channel SVT Barnkanalen, where it will air in the third quarter of the year. In a second Nordic deal, the animated adventure-fantasy, which helps children to discover, understand and learn about the world in an entertaining and playful way, has also been licenced by Norwegian public broadcaster NRK for its NRK Super kids’ channel. The Nordic sales follow on last year’s multi-territory deal for Rosa and Dara with Middle Eastern broadcasting giant MBC3. Two of Media I.M.’s best-selling animation series — Kikoriki New Adventures and Pin-Code — are headed for Israel on the back of deals with, respectively, Talit Communications and A+ Kids TV. Talit Communications has licensed Kikoriki New Adventures for its children’s channels, which include Junior, BabyTV and Safari Kids. Kikoriki, Petersburg Animation Studio’s flagship brand about the spherical inhabitants of the world of Kikoriki, launched in 2003 and has gone on to become one of the most successful projects in the history of Russian animation. It is also proving to be popular on the international market, with deals closed in the last year with Turkey’s Dusyeri Animation Studios for Planeta Cocuk, MBC, Discovery Italia, Telecom Italia, Bulgarian public broadcaster BNT, Spain’s TV Galicia and Estonia’s ETV. The animated science adventure and discovery series Pin-Code, which follows the adventures of a penguin inventor called Pin and features all key characters introduced in Kikoriki, is also headed for Israel via a 3.5-year deal with VOD educational service A+ Kids TV. Aimed at four- to eight-year-olds, A+ Kids TV launched on the Hot and Yes platforms in 2016 and plans to launch as a linear channel by the end of the year. Irina Nazarenko, co-founder of Media I.M., said: “The Nordic territories and Israel are formidable competitive markets for children’s product, which makes these latest deals for Rosa and Dara, Kikoriki and Pin-Code particularly gratifying. This surge of interest in our catalogue is a great start to 2016 and a reflection of the global market’s on-going appetite for kids’ content which focuses on learning through entertainment and encourages kids to discover the world around them.” About Media I.M. Media I.M., launched in April 2014 by former Viacom International Media Networks executives Maria Ufland and Irina Nazarenko, is an international content distribution company specialising in the sale of premium family entertainment and animation to both linear and non-linear platforms. The London-based operation, which has more than 1,000episodes of children’s animation in its portfolio, has exclusive distribution agreements with several of Europe and Russia’s top animation producers, including Ficción Producciones, Bionaut Films, Petersburg Animation Studio, Melnitsa Animation Studio, Studio Atria, Da Animation Studio and Studio Nebo. Media I.M. is active in pre-sales and identifying co- production and product licensing partners for its animation brands, which include Robodz, The Pooches, Kikoriki, Moonzy, Pin-Code, The Bubbles, TuTu, Rosa and Dara and Their Great Adventures, Riki and Flying Animals. Its boutique approach gives it the flexibility to develop 360-degree opportunities around each property to deliver maximum value to both producers and licensees.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • Festival Russenko, 6Ème Édition
    Organisé par la ville du Kremlin-Bicêtre, le festival RussenKo 2015 présente sa 6ème édition les 30, 31 janvier et 1er février 2015. Fort de plus de 7000 visiteurs venus de tous les horizons en 2014, le festival des cultures russes et russophones fait le pari de la complexité, de l’éclectisme, de la nouveauté, de l’ouverture. Il poursuit son objectif initial: tisser des liens entre les citoyens et établir des passerelles entre la France, la Russie et les pays russophones. Pour cette nouvelle édition, l’image devient le cœur du festival avec deux expositions photographiques présentées par deux partenaires de renom le Musée d’Art Multimédia de Moscou et la galerie Polka (Paris). RussenKo 2015 s’aventure dans de nouveaux espaces gastronomiques avec les « nouveaux fermiers » du collectif Lavka Lavka (Moscou), s’ouvre à de nouvelles scènes avec les artistes du festival de musiques actuelles Afisha Picnic (Moscou), découvre de nouvelles formes artistiques avec le street artiste Radya (Ekaterinbourg). RussenKo offre un espace de réflexion et de discussion avec des tables rondes géopolitiques et sociétales, notamment une table ronde autour de la « situation » ukrainienne, en partenariat avec RFI. Les journées littéraires de RussenKo s’ouvrent aux réflexions et travaux de l’auteur Dmitri Bortnikov, accueilli en résidence sur la ville du Kremlin-Bicêtre. L’art du clown est également présent cette année avec la création clownesque franco-russe Kanikuly de la compagnie Le Bateau de Papier. Enfin, RussenKo reste avant tout une rencontre entre territoires, puisque la Ville du Kremlin-Bicêtre accueillera des artistes et des créations du district de Dmitrov (Région de Moscou), de la région de Novossibirsk (sud-ouest de la Sibérie), de la ville d’Irkoutsk (capitale de la Sibérie Orientale).
