  • ANNEX IV ISLA CARTOON, a SUCCESSFUL CASE Annex IV
    Ibero-American Animation Quirino White Paper ANNEX IV ISLA CARTOON, A SUCCESSFUL CASE Annex IV Isla Cartoon, a successful case The Animation lives in a sweet moment in Tenerife, both for the studios of the island and for professionals and students looking to make a career in this exciting industry. Companies like 3 Doubles, BWater, La Casa Animada and Mondo TV Iberoamérica develop from Tenerife millionaire productions that compete in international markets and have become success stories of what is now known as Isla Cartoon. Long before the boom of animation came to Tenerife, the largest of the eight Canary Islands, practically all the Hollywood majors had already discovered the wonders of this overseas territory: an unusual variety of landscapes, stable weather all year round, pool of local talent and one of the biggest tax incentives in Europe. Tenerife has hosted big shootings. However, it was in 2015 when the island included the animation sector in its commitment to strategic and complementary sectors to the more than 4 decades successful tourism sector. Strong institutional support, increasing fiscal incentives and a strategy designed to facilitate the establishment of companies were decisive, so that in just 3 years, Tenerife managed to go from 2 local animation studios and thirty jobs to the current 7 studios. and its more than 300 jobs. During this period, this Cartoon Island has also positioned itself as a meeting point for Ibero-American animation by becoming promoter and the main sponsor as well as host of the Quirino Awards and the international animation lab Bridging the Gap, that join to the existing ones as MiradasDoc with thirteen editions to his credit.

  • ANNEX I WOMEN DIRECTORS in IBERO-AMERICAN ANIMATION: the FUTURE WILL BE FEMINIST of WILL NOT HAPPEN Annex I
    Ibero-American Animation Quirino White Paper ANNEX I WOMEN DIRECTORS IN IBERO-AMERICAN ANIMATION: THE FUTURE WILL BE FEMINIST OF WILL NOT HAPPEN Annex I Women Directors in Ibero-American Animation: The Future Will Be Feminist or Will Not Happen Ibero-American animated films - like all others - are told by men. Of the nearly 300 premieres* in the Ibero-American region, less than 20 have been directed by women, and less than ten are co-directed by at least one woman and one man. These figures help us focus on gender representativeness and the types of worlds and characters that are portrayed in animated films aimed at children and young and adult audiences, highlighting the gender gap in the industry. The figures in terms of premieres and projects in development call for a change that can’t be just lectures and meetings- proactive measures are needed to achieve a much-desired gender equality. By Marta García Since the launch of the first animated feature film in history, “The Apostle” by Quirino Cristiani in 1917, about 60 animated features have been released in Argentina, according to data from INCAA (Instituto de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales de Argentina); of which only ten were directed by women. In 2002, María Valentini led the way with “Bahía mágica”, a co-production by Cine Media Group, Naya Films, Cinecolor, JZ y Asociados and Mundo Marino with MDA Films from Spain, about a female biologist with a passion for animals. In 2007, Liliana Romero co-directed “Martín Fierro, la película” with Norman Ruiz (Aleph Media, Argentina/ Maíz Producciones, Spain).

These assumptions, from the aesthetic end, largely emerged from the postwar rise of figurative (or noncartoon, nonabstract) animation—a “new era” which critic André Martin characterized as “marked by the widest possible range of techniques and processes.” From the other end, animation is tied to widespread assumptions from science that assert the biological, automatic nature of visual illusion. Animation’s unique status as a medium of visual movement that can arise from any kind of material (drawings, puppets, computer graphics, etc.), thus yields a paradox that I call “animated automatism”: the fact that, in order to assert its open-ended freedom as an art form, animation must acknowledge the reductive mechanics of perception.

  • The Rise of Animation in France
    1 Introduction The Rise of Animation in France If cinema marvelously expresses an age dominated by science, it is because cinema is “scientifically founded on movement.” In effect, cinema relies upon a series of mechanisms designed to produce an illusion of anima- tion. (Guido 2007: 28) Images remained fixed for 32,000 years. Drawings could only move once the camera was invented and put to work reproducing them 24 times a second, filming and projecting them. That is the real cinematic revolution! Animation is a completely virtual art which logically leads into the synthetic image and the modern world. The modern revolution was born with Emile Reynaud and his projected animation in 1892. Live action cinema with actors is merely a pale copy of reality. It is moving photography. ...But the moving photograph will never be as magical as the moving drawing!
