The Animation³ residence returns in 2024

After welcoming 3 authors in 2023, Wallimage SA and the Pôle Image Magelisin partnership with the Département de la Charente and the Film Fund Luxembourgrenew their cooperation in 2024 within the framework of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival to offer a second edition of the international French-speaking residency for animated film and television works, Animation³ .
  • 17.06.2024
The intention is to cooperate in supporting cross-border scriptwriting projects for feature films and animated series. This cooperation will take the form of a 3-week residency in October 2024 for each selected author, with one week in each of the signatory territories of the protocol: Charente, Luxembourg and the Province of Namur.

Projects must be written in French, intended for film or television, and be animated works. To be eligible, they must have the potential to appeal to audiences in all 3 countries. They must be offered as a priority to producers in the 3 signatory countries. They should be in the start-up phase and not in a rewriting phase. Applications must include a synopsis of at least 3 pages, a CV of the author and a description of the planned genre (feature film, series, 2D or 3D animation, etc.) and target audience.

For this second year, the schedule is as follows:

  • June 2024: Launch of the call for projects
  • July 31, 2024: application deadline
  • August 31, 2024 (at the latest): announcement of winners
  • September 30, 2024: Start of residencies

In 2023, the residency welcomed Bruno Lorenzi, a Walloon author, for an original work for young adults in a 2D TV series, Cander et Ladilash; Milena Rodams, an author from Charente, for a 2D TV series project adapted from Nekomaki’s work, Le vieil homme et son chat; and Fred Neuen, an author from Luxembourg, for a 3D feature film project, Croque-cadeau.
