C artoon Connection nous convie chaque année à la magnifique ville de Québec. C’est avec beaucoup d’enthousiasme

que le Fonds des médias du Canada (FMC) s’unit à cet événement qui rassemble l’indus-trie et le public autour d’histoires en animation. Autour d’histoires qui façonnent notre culture et marquent notre imaginaire collectif, qu’elles soient drôles, éducatives ou émouvantes.

En ces temps de transformation de l’industrie, je tiens à saluer votre détermination et votre engagement envers l’animation. Les histoires auxquelles vous donnez vie à l’écran nous per-mettent de rêver et d’apprendre, mais elles contribuent également à la croissance d’une économie créative.

L’animation représente une composante es-sentielle de la florissante industrie canadienne du contenu audiovisuel. En fait, depuis 2010, le FMC a investi plus de 130 millions de dollars dans plus de 200 productions d’animation. Grâce à nos mesures incitatives avec des orga-nismes de financement dans les quatre coins du monde, nous investissons également dans la création d’opportunités de coproduction pour les créateurs canadiens dans le secteur de l’animation. Nous nous réjouissons de tabler sur ces succès et de faire connaître la richesse des talents créatifs que le pays a à offrir.

Merci à Cartoon Connection et à Pixel Québec d’avoir rendu possible la tenue de cet évène ment. Alors que les dernières années ont donné lieu à de fructueux échanges, partenariats et opportunités d’affaires, je ne peux que souhaiter tout autant sinon plus aux participants de cette édition 2018.

C artoon Connection brings us together once again in beautiful Québec City. It is with much enthusiasm that the

Canada Media Fund (CMF) joins this event that brings together the industry and the public around animation stories. Funny, educative or deeply moving stories that shape our culture and mark our collective imagination.

In these times of industry transformation, I con gratulate your determination and commitment to the animation sector. The stories you give life to on screen allow us to dream and learn, but they also contribute to the growth of the digital economy.

Animation represents an important compo-nent of Canada’s thriving audiovisual content indus try. In fact, since 2010, the CMF has invested more than $130M in over 200 animation pro duc tions. Thanks to our dedicated incentives with funding agencies around the world, we also in–vest to generate coproduction opportunities for Canadian animation creators. We look forward to building on these successes and sharing the wealth of creative talent Canada has to offer.

Thank you to Cartoon Connection and Pixel Québec for making this event possible. While past years have given rise to fruitful exchanges, partnerships and business opportunities, I can only wish as much if not more to the partici pants of this 2018 edition.

Une collaboration essentielle au maintien d’une offre diversifiée sur les marchés internationaux

L e BCTQ est fier d’appuyer Cartoon Connection depuis sa toute première édition.

Au fil des années, cet événement est devenu un rendez-vous incontournable de l’industrie de l’animation. Dans un environnement d’affaires toujours en mutation, les échanges avec des professionnels venus d’Europe, d’Amérique du Sud et bien sûr du Québec et du Canada renforcent notre capacité mutuelle à innover et à favoriser le rayonnement de nos produits à l’international.

Cartoon Connection joue un rôle essentiel sur plusieurs plans, dont celui de la commer-cialisation internationale des propriétés intellectuelles des producteurs nationaux.

Un rôle structurant qui vise non seulement à promouvoir le rayonnement de nos entreprises sur les grands marchés, mais à terme, suscite et propose une collaboration que nous souhaitons pérenne, essentielle au maintien d’une offre diversifiée sur les marchés internationaux.

Le Bureau est donc très heureux de s’associer à cet événement porteur, car ce faisant, il assume pleinement son mandat de développement de la filière audiovisuelle du Québec.

Bon événement et longue vie à Cartoon Connection !

The QFTC is proud to have supported Cartoon Connection since its very first edition.

Over the years, this event has become a major one for the animation industry. In an ever-changing business environment, exchanging with professionals from Europe, South America and, of course, Quebec and Canada strengthens our respective ability to innovate and showcase our products internationally.

Cartoon Connection plays a key role in a number of areas, including the international marketing of Quebec producers’ intellectual property.

This structuring role does more than just promote our companies in major markets; ultimately, it’s about creating a sustainable collaboration that is essential to maintaining a diverse offer in international markets.

The Council is proud to be a part of this important event, and in doing so, continues to fulfil its mandate of developing Quebec’s audiovisual industry.

Enjoy the event, and may Cartoon Connection enjoy continued success!

Pour cette 9ème édition au Canada, nous sommes très heureux d’annoncer que nous affichons une participation

record du nombre de sociétés (113 sociétés inscrites) pour lesquelles nous organisons des rencontres d’affaires, clés de voûte de cet événement annuel. Parmi celles-ci, notons la présence d’une trentaine d’investisseurs et acheteurs ainsi que d’une centaine de pro-ducteurs.

La délégation européenne sera composée de 19 pays différents, une première également, démontrant ainsi l’attractivité que représente le Canada comme partenaire de premier plan pour les coopérations et les coproductions entre nos deux continents. Nous espérons que les projets qui seront présentés dans le cadre de ces rencontres permettront encore d’intensifier ces relations et de permettre l’émergence de liens professionnels durables entre les producteurs, les diffuseurs et les distributeurs européens et canadiens.

Afin de parfaire ces collaborations, Cartoon offre chaque année la possibilité à des producteurs canadiens associés à un projet européen de participer à nos deux plateformes annuelles de coproduction : le Cartoon Forum

Cartoon Connection permet l’émergence de liens professionnels durables

de Toulouse en septembre (pour les séries TV : 1000 participants, 250 acheteurs, +80 projets pitchés) et le Cartoon Movie en mars (pour les longs métrages d’animation : 900 participants, 265 acheteurs, 60 projets pitchés).

Le dernier Cartoon Forum qui vient de s’achever a d’ailleurs enregistré la présence de 17 canadiens dont certains sont venus pitcher 5 projets en coproduction avec l’Europe et 2 autres projets purement canadiens accueillis en tant que lauréats des Cartoon Connection Awards 2017.

Pour cette 9ème édition donc, et parmi l’ensemble des projets qui seront discutés lors des rencontres bilatérales, nous allons de nouveau distinguer jusqu’à 4 projets canadiens à qui nous décernerons un «Cartoon Connection Award» : un sésame qui permettra à son lauréat d’accéder directement au Cartoon Forum ou au Cartoon Movie en 2019.

Je remercie chaleureusement notre fidèle partenaire qu’est le Programme Creative Europe/MEDIA de l’Union Européenne et notre co-organisateur, Pixel, ainsi que tous ses partenaires canadiens.

For this 9th edition in Canada, we are very pleased to announce that there are a re-cord number of participating companies

(113 companies registered) for which we are organizing business meetings, the keystones of this annual event. Among these companies, we should mention the presence of about thirty investors and buyers as well as around a hundred producers.

The European delegation will be composed of 19 different countries, also a première, demonstrating the attractiveness of Canada as a leading partner for cooperation and co-productions between our two continents. We hope that the projects that will be presented at these meetings will further strengthen these relationships and encourage the emergence of lasting professional ties between European and Canadian producers, broadcasters and distributors.

In order to complete these collaborations, each year Cartoon offers opportunities for Canadian producers associated with a European project to participate in our two annual co-production platforms: Cartoon Forum in Toulouse in September (for TV series: 1000 participants, 250 buyers, +80 projects pitched) and Cartoon Movie in March (for

Cartoon Connection encourages the emergence of lasting professional ties

feature films: 900 participants, 265 buyers, 60 projects pitched).

At the most recent Cartoon Forum, which has just ended, 17 Canadians were present, some of whom came to pitch 5 projects in co-production with Europe and 2 other purely Canadian projects hosted as winners of the Cartoon Connection Awards 2017.

For this 9th edition, among all the projects that will be discussed during the bilateral meetings, we will again put 4 Canadian projects in the limelight by awarding them a “Cartoon Connection Award”: a sesame that will allow the recipients to directly access Cartoon Forum or Cartoon Movie in 2019.

I warmly thank our faithful partner, the Creative Europe / MEDIA Programme of the European Union and our co-organizer, Pixel, as well as all its Canadian partners.



L’appétit international pour des contenus animés de contenu de qualité ne connaît désormais plus de limites. Afin de nous dé-

marquer, il est désormais essentiel d’investir dans les bons talents ainsi que de promouvoir l’inno-vation en matière de financement et de créativité. Mais voilà : l’atteinte de ces objectifs passe par le choix des bons partenaires.

Depuis maintenant presque neuf années, Car-toon Connection Canada vous épaule en ce sens. Vous avez été nombreux au cours de toutes ces années à partager avec nous vos réussites et vos découvertes. Cela nous touche profondément et confirme encore une fois la pertinence et la néces-sité de notre événement au sein d’une industrie en évolution rapide.

C’est donc avec un plaisir renouvelé que je prends part à cette 9e édition. L’équipe créative de Pixel Québec et moi sommes fiers de vous aménager cet espace extraordinaire de partage, de rencontres et d’invention axé sur la conception et l’exploita-tion de propriétés intellectuelles d’exception.

Profitez donc pleinement de cette occasion pour faire le plein d’imagination, de connaissance et de nouveaux partenaires.

Prenez activement part à nos nombreuses confé-rences et rencontres « one on one » puisque Car-toon Connection Canada (organisé conjointe-ment avec Cartoon de Belgique), par sa nature, constitue une occasion en or de nouer des liens plus chaleureux et moins impersonnels avec plu-sieurs producteurs et diffuseurs d’Europe, d’Amé-rique du Nord et d’Amérique latine.

En terminant, j’aimerais chaleureusement re-mercier des partenaires essentiels à la tenue de Cartoon Connection Canada: Europe Créative / Media, Ville de Québec, Téléfilm Canada, Fonds des talents, Gouvernement du Québec, Fonds des médias du Canada, SODEC, Bureau du Cinéma et de la Télévision du Québec, Fonds Capital Culture, Productions 10e Ave, et l’Alliance Média Jeunesse.

Et maintenant, que vous soyez d’ici ou d’ailleurs, vivez des moments magiques et fructueux de création et d’échanges. Que vos projets se réa-lisent à la hauteur de vos ambitions !

Qu’on se le dise : l’animation est en mutation

Louis LeclercDirecteur général



EN

The new global appetite for premium animated content seems inexhaustible. To stand out, it’s now essential to invest in

the right talent and push for innovation in both financing and creativity. But here’s the thing: achieving these objectives requires the right partners.

For almost nine years now, Cartoon Connection Canada has been helping you in this regard. And, each year, many of you have shared your successes and discoveries with us. This touches us deeply and once again confirms the relevance and necessity of our event in a rapidly evolving industry.

It is therefore with renewed pleasure that I will take part in this 9th edition. The Pixel Québec creative team and I are proud to provide you with this extraordinary space for sharing, meeting and invention focused on the development and exploitation of exceptional intellectual properties.

Therefore take full advantage of this opportunity to fuel your imagination and knowledge, as well as to acquire new partners.

Don’t hesitate to take an active part in our many conferences and “one on one” meetings: Cartoon Connection Canada (organized jointly with CARTOON of Belgium), by its very nature, provides unique opportunities to forge friendlier and closer relationships with the many attending producers and broadcasters from Europe, North America and Latin America.

In closing, I would like to warmly thank some of the partners essential to this year’s Cartoon Connection Canada: Creative Europe / Media, Ville de Québec, Téléfilm Canada, Fonds des talents, Gouvernement du Québec, Fonds des médias du Canada, SODEC, Bureau du Cinéma et de la Télévision du Québec, Fonds Capital Culture, Productions 10e Ave, and Alliance Média Jeunesse.

And now, whether you’re from here or abroad, here’s the time to experience magical and profitable moments of creation and exchange. May your projects live up to your ambitions!

Let’s face it: the animation industry is changing. And fast
