Cannes – Following its successful commissioning of and co-investment in some 200 hours of animation titles for co-production, the Media Development Authority of Singapore (MDA) has launched the International Animation Fund (IAF) at MIPTV 2010 in partnership with FremantleMedia Enterprises. The new International Animation Fund, which invites applications from all over the world for new animation content in any format – including television series, telemovies, theatrical features – will see MDA co-investing up to S$5 million (US$3.5 million) for each qualifying project. FremantleMedia Enterprises is MDA’s partner for this new initiative, and will represent the chosen projects as worldwide distributor. Applications for the International Animation Fund are now open (application form downloadable at www.smf.sg). All applications must be received by the close of business, Singapore time, on 30 June 2010, and proposed projects must have a Singapore partner. Shortlisted applicants will be required to pitch face-to-face, in Singapore, to an evaluation panel comprising senior executives from MDA and FremantleMedia.
