Conference room Restaurant Millefiori Giubiasco Among the audiences that view animated feature films are often children and teens, to whom these films often specifically address themselves, with choices of lengths, plot content and editing rhythms created “ad hoc” for young audiences. To better understand how animation authors set up their projects already in the development phase for a children and youth audience, and to understand how distributors of animated films conceive their distribution strategy for these films, we propose our “Kids Film Forum - Industry Day” addressed to industry professionals and cultural mediation enthusiasts on the topic of animation. This day will create synergies between authors and industry professionals and delve into the topic of distribution of children's animated films.
