ANIMATION SEMINAR 2011- Feb 4th 2011. Chinese animators will join Oscar-nominated companies Brown Bag Films and Cartoon Saloon to participate in an Animation Seminar on Friday 4th February, at Dublin City Council’s Wood Quay Conference Centre. The Seminar will be an opportunity to look at business practice and the legal aspects of co-production in China, and to nurture contacts that should provide innovative and rewarding opportunities in the years ahead. Ireland and China can together gain a more competitive ground in the fast-growing animation market in China and the rest of the world.
