The feature depends on the exit of the climate in BAETE for the year 2020, and has already won awards at the Goya and Platino Awards.

During the Gala Lope Afonso concert, Vice President of TEERIFE, who nurtures the awards through Tenerife Tourism, announced the Quirino Laboratory, a new training and discussion platform that is scheduled to be launched in November 2025. On the initiative of the futures contract laboratory, this new endeavor aims to deepen cooperative strategies via iBero-american.
Some fast food:
Commercial influence or Arthouse Cred?
Quirino specifically draws big names because it provides something that was not, and Annecy no, a break and space to build quality relationships for a few days. The sounds of the industry noted that many of the projects that were presented to them this year are very deviant, some of which are concerned that they lack the trade muscles to beat the main distributors or banners. Others were enthusiastic to see many projects that drive the feeling of borders, who could storm new fans who yearn for originality. The trick is now the balance. Films such as “Robot Dreams” from Pablo Berger prove that it is possible to marry creative ambition with the audience reaching but a lot of tendency towards a place, and stories narratives risk narrowing the global call. Although Arthouse Animation may find a specialized house, the distribution model has not yet exists, and it is unlikely to appear soon.
The site, the site, the site
The Canary Islands are now proud of 10 animation studios and some of the best tax incentives in the world, but as many CEOs in Quirino emphasized, talents need more than one studio and a discount. You cannot live in a studio, and with the islands still is directed at an overwhelming majority towards tourism in the short term, finding housing for long -term talent is still the potential bottleneck. The infrastructure on the ground will be decisive to accelerate growth. Although many of those trying to do so are no longer, discovering the upscale lifestyle deserves other troubles.
Trump 2.0: An unintended guest
No one in Koirino wanted to prepare for President Trump, but before the event, he appeared during periods of tax exemptions in foreign production at every coffee break. With the presence of the Canary Islands among the richest discounts on this planet, fear is no less than immediate policy and more than the effect of uncertainty. Investors are volatile, animation, with long timelines and the costs provided, needs a predictable floor to flourish. Even the broken social media publication without a procedure can be sent volatility through fragile joint financing chimneys.
Find the purpose
Both futures laboratory and women in animation sessions showed a clear longing for producers, and filmmakers to discuss their challenges. “We asked them to think about the things they had to sacrifice to go forward in their career, and also on a personal level, to communicate with their goal, and the things that give them butterflies in the stomach.” Silvina Cornell, director of the Qur’an Awards diverse It is women to collect animation. There was a comfort in the displayed comrade. “Sometimes when you try to deepen, some people may retreat, but they are bound, listened, and they were transferred.” And I concluded.
Great ibero-aerrica meeting
One of the largest quiet victories of Cuerino? The massive geographical spread of its guests. Not only came from filmmakers, producers and executives from Spain and Portugal, but also came from almost every corner of Latin America, giving this event a real weight to the Americans. The presence of Argentine Cornillõn at the head of a Spanish festival sends a positive message. It is a testament to the ongoing efforts of the organizers and a sign that Quirino has matured to more than just a regional offer. It is now one of the main platforms where the world of animation comes to form ideas. Cooperation continues to prosper, and the fruits of many programs over the past few years bring to high -quality projects to promotion tables within the outskirts of previous monasteries.
