Grants for animation works

THE Media Development Authority (MDA) is inviting funding applications for new animation projects under the International Animation Fund launched in partnership with FremantleMedia Enterprises.

MDA will co-invest up to $5 million for each qualifying animation project in any format, including television series, telemovies and theatrical features. Fremantle will be the worldwide distributor for the chosen projects.

Shortlisted projects, which must have a Singapore partner, will be required to do a face-to-face pitch to an evaluation panel comprising senior executives from MDA and FremantleMedia.

'We look forward very much to co-creating new intellectual property in and by Singapore's animation community in partnership with like-minded members of the animation cluster from around the world,' MDA's chief executive Christopher Chia said of the initiative on Monday.

David Ellender, FremantleMedia's global chief executive said that the partnership with MDA shows their 'belief in the animation resources Singapore has to deploy to the world market.'
