Who holds the pencil in tomorrow’s global animation imagination — and what role does Europe choose to play? 🌍✍️ The 2nd edition of Anima Mundi Pilot Lab is taking place in Annecy during MIFA! This workshop is designed to move beyond analysis into real, operational collaboration. We want to look at how Europe can move past its traditional arthouse niche and establish itself as a core partner in the global animation ecosystem.   🗓️ Day 1 | 25 June 2026, 17:00-19:00 📍 Panel Discussion @ Hotel Splendid  An exclusive industry salon exploring new frontiers of collaboration between Asian and European animation industries, breaking down three core areas: 🔹 Korea: Digital IP as a shared creative language, focusing on the pipeline of webtoon-to-screen adaptations. 🔹 Japan: Studio restructuring as operational bridges, examining how cross-border ventures and mergers create resilient co-creation hubs. 🔹 China: AI as a catalyst for collaboration, discussing how automated pipelines connect international talent and facilitate deeper creative partnerships.
