Tender father-daughter tale “My Dad, The Truck,” raucous coming-of-age series “Esther” and poignant docu-series “The Impossible Future” are among the projects venturing to Annecy’s Mifa Market for pitch sessions Wednesday as part of the Ibero-American Animation League’s annual forum.
Simultaneously, La Liga will also launch Ibermedia Next to foster the development of innovative animated co-productions between Iberoamerican countries and Italy, Portugal and Spain, organized in tandem with Ibermedia and Premios Quirino.
“This edition of Annecy holds immense significance for Latin America, with Mexico at the forefront as the country of honor,” Animation! head Silvina Cornillon told Variety. “Our dedicated Focus program perfectly captures the essence of Ibero-American animation’s dynamic and multifaceted creative spirit, reflecting its vibrancy and diversity in full measure.”
A spirited collaboration between Argentina’s Animation! Ventana Sur, Premios Quirino de la Animación Iberoamericana of Tenerife and Mexico’s Pixelatl Festival, the event aims to further bolster promising filmmakers.

Buenos Aires — Online in 2020, and sporting a boutique on-site edition in 2021, Ventana Sur, Latin America’s biggest film-tv market, is roaring back, attendance levels, especially from delegates outside Argentina, looking set to break all time records.
“With all the sales companies, distributors and platforms coming back, it’s really great to find the same dynamism as in 2019,” Jérôme Paillard, Ventana Sur co-director, commented a week out from this year’s 13th edition, running Nov. 28 to Dec. 2.
In some ways, in fact, there may be more. 10 takes on this year’s event, backed by the Cannes Festival, Market and Argentina’s Incaa film-tv agency:

Historical epic “The Flame of Blues,” from Argentina’s Blu Animation Studio and father-daughter relationship tale “My Dad the Truck,” by Colombia’s María Cristina Pérez, figure among 14 titles – half series, half features – at Ventana Sur’s 2022 Animation!.
Further buzz titles take in “Esther,” from Argentina’s Ezequiel Torres, an action-packed coming of age adventure, doc series “The Imposible Future,” by Argentina’s Martin Haas and Antonio Balseiro and pre-school comedy adventure “King Gaston,” from Brazil’s Diogo Viegas.
Now firmly established as one of Latin America’s foremost animation forums, 2022’s Animation! saw an all-time record of 203 submissions.
That high attests to animation’s continuing growth in Latin America, powered primarily by a new generation of vocational animation talent which has broken through in the last 5-15 years, often spending much of them making shorts or animated commercials.
All of Animation!’s movie projects are from first time feature directors,...
