Ibermedia Next Fund Launches, Aiming to Take Animation to New Tech Level
variety.comCallum McLennan In a bid to boost the animation sector across Latin America, Spain, Portugal and Italy, Ibermedia has opened a call for applications for Ibermedia Next funding, a scheme designed to take animation in the region to a new technological – and artistic – level.
Providing a much-needed boost to creators and producers who are eager to explore the cutting-edge possibilities of new technologies, the initiative, presented Friday May 12 at the Canary Island Quirino Awards, is offering grants of up to €150,000 ($163,500), alongside a support programme valued at up to €95,000 ($103,550).
