Mexico’s massive presence as the country of honor at Annecy is no mean feat, taking organizerat least a year to put together the programs and secure the classic and recent short films to showcase.
While Imcine’s incentives program allots some funds to animation, they are small sums divvied up among live action, animation and other formats. Its annual festival in early September showcases Mexico’s animation, comic and video game industries, while offering training, recruitment and a market where screenings, panels and pitches are held.
Secuenciarte calls for graphic novels or comic books. First launched in 2014, it has led to the publication of 32 comic books, some selling out at a rapid clip. Each year, Pixelatl chooses a creative partner who, inspired by the year’s manifesto, develops an animated promotional short film for the festival, from which all the art and graphic images are derived. This edition counts on Lucy Animation, an all-female animation outfit from Colombia, to be Pixelatl’s creative partner.
