“The African Animation Network is seeing exponential growth in the African animation industry,” he says. “Bringing the whole continent into sharp focus as part of the Africa 2020 Season at Annecy next year was something that was unfathomable just six months ago, let alone three years ago when we launched AAN.

Last year’s Animation du Monde winner, Togo’s Ingrid Agbo, pre-sold her series “L’arbre à Palimpseste” to Gulli Africa, the Lagardère-owned kids network.
