The program will feature meetings one to one, workshops and conferences with the aim of creating a meeting point for Ibero-American animation producers.

Identity
The Quirino Awards come at a time of effervescence of the Latin American animation. Currently, according to concerned Gerardo Michelin, only in Latin America develops around a hundred feature films, of which 25 are Brazilians.
In this context, the event has the challenge of promoting collaboration to build an identity, explained the promoters. "Animation is a language in which we see reflected universally, it is important that the community will meet around these awards to begin making content made by us and for us to export to the world," said Jos I esta.
"The Forum gives us ability to start to get to know us and make alliances to develop things together. We are making many separate efforts, we must come together and, perhaps, make fewer projects with greater potential and quality,"said Machado. In this sense, Silvina Cornillon said the wind in favor for collaboration. "This great creative potential is also accompanied by a change of paradigm: we are meeting with professionals who are not afraid to associate with each other and which are understanding that the union makes strength".
For his part, Paul cow stressed the potential of the Quirino to enlarge the circulation of American animation, "will allow many works which are perhaps not known to make visible, not only large but also short films and shorts from" school", said.
Awards are named in tribute to the creator of the first animated feature of the history, the italo-Argentine Quirino Cristiani, who in 1917 directed "The Apostle"; an Argentine production which were 58,000 drawings made to hands and shot in 35 mm, as well as several scale models representing public buildings and streets of the city of Buenos Aires.
