Two Industry Markets; Remarkable Animation Sector
The 19th Shanghai TV Festival`s two markets — International Film & TV Market and International New Media & Broadcasting Equipment Market — will be held at Shanghai Exhibition Center June 11 to 13. Display areas equivalent to 150 million sq m were sold out at the beginning of April. Nearly 400 exhibitors from more than 30 countries and regions will participate, including CCTV, SMG and many media companies. Overseas exhibitors represent over 40 percent, including many foreign national-level TV stations and internationally-renowned production companies.
To better serve exhibition participants, Shanghai TV Festival is providing discussion rooms for negotiations about deals, resource sharing and information exchange. This service is aimed at increasing the festival\'s professional corporate image and enhancing the environment for program sales.
Asia`s only professional animation platform, the 6th Asian Animation Pitch & Catch, will be held concurrent with the above two markets. Many original Chinese animations have started to appear on the international scene and have had remarkable success in many international exhibitions. This Pitch & Catch program has made great progress in attracting buyers and influencing the development of derivative productions. More than 200 original Asian animations from Indonesia , the Republic of Korea and China etc. will compete for this year\'s awards.
