Navarra Film Industry presents the Navarra Animation campaign at the Annecy festival. With the support of the Departments of Culture, Innovation and Economic Development and the joint work of NICDO and Clavna, there was a space in the Industry Focus of MIFA, the professional part of the festival. The presentation of Navarra Animation included the participation of all the sector’s agents, with a presentation by the Regional Minister for Innovation of the region, its advantages and government initiatives to boost the sector; the professional ecosystem by the cluster; the presentation of the Next Lab Finance & Tech: Navarra event; and pitches by the main animation studios based in the region on their upcoming projects.

Navarra will present two films produced in the region at the Screenings. They are Surcos, Furrows (Escorzo Films) directed by Julio Mazarico, and Matrioskas, las niñas de la guerra (Haruru Filmak), directed by Helena Bengoechea. Two examples that give an idea of the diversity of the films made in our country, in which an interest in memory coexists with a concern for the most immediate current affairs, the effect that COVD 19 has had on a heterogeneous group of people. In these, and in the other 26 films that we present in our line up, the diversity of the landscape and culture of our community is reflected. The Generazinema grants for the development, production and promotion of audiovisual projects, tax incentives and a very dynamic professional sector that is very committed to its work make up the reality of Navarre, a community that has a lot to offer. If you would like to talk to us, we will be waiting for you at our stand every day from 10am to 1.30pm and from 2.30pm to 5.00pm. You can also contact us at the following address: cine@navarra.es
