Application documents for Cartoon Movie 2012
The deadline to submit a project for Cartoon Movie 2012 is 23 November 2011.
- You can submit a new project of European animated feature film in 4 categories: project in concept, project in development, film in production, completed film
- Only 2 projects per company can be accepted
- Check the conditions of admission to be sure you fulfill the requirements
- Note about the categories “in concept” and “in development”: producers have to choose a category and send all the required elements, as listed below. However the Selection Committee will analyse the application files and define the final category of the projects, based on the fact that less developed projects will be considered “in concept” and more mature projects, “in development”.
- Une version française de la liste des documents à soumettre est disponible dans le vade-mecum

- A digital copy should be included on the CD-Rom (1 single PDF of the entire file)
- The dossier must be completely filled out in English
