The workshop, dedicated exclusively to the members of the association, will take place on Wednesday 7 March. It will be a unique occasion for Europa Distribution members to exchange experiences and information about their releases of different animation films and compare the various strategies adopted on the same title and the different outcomes on different territories.

Among the titles to be discussed there are: Ballerina (Eric Summer, Éric Warin - France), My Life as a Courgette [+see also:

 (Arthur de Pins, Alexis Ducord - France). The workshop will be concluded with an open discussion about the general experience of the distributors with the release of animation features. How to release adult animation and how to target the right audience? Is dubbing always the best option? How to guide young audiences towards different sort of animation styles that look less familiar to them?

Europa Distribution will continue the discussion with its members about the specific challenges of releasing and promoting independent films in Europe with its next workshops and panels in Sofia, Karlovy Vary, Haugesund, San Sebastian, Rome and Amsterdam and throughout the year participating to conferences and meetings with distributors and other parts of the value chain.
