South Africans with short films, feature films, TV series and transmedia projects in concept stage can now apply for two opportunities to pitch their projects at the MIFA animation market, which takes place at the Annecy International Animation Festival from 17 to 19 June 2015.

The first opportunity applies to anyone with a concept in development, who would like to take part in the MIFA Pitch Sessions. Projects must be original, in their first stages of development and looking for producers, distributors and funding. Selected projects will be presented to attending international partners, with prizes awarded to winners. The deadline for entries is 13 February 2015.

In addition, Animation SA has announced the launch of a specially created MIFA opportunity for South African projects, which are to be pitched to a special panel in an initiative to find projects that could be produced in collaboration with France. The initiative is a result of discussions between IFAS, MIFA, Wesgro and Animation SA in an effort to develop a relationship with France to help South African studios get a short film or pilot to market.

The deadline and selection dates for the Special SA Pitch Session are not yet confirmed.

If a project is selected the participant receives:

- Free Mifa accreditation

- Support and professional expertise

- A 10-minute pitch slot in front of an audience of animation professionals
