Sponsored by the China State Administration of Radio, Film and Television Administrative Bureau and Zhejiang Provincial Government, and organized by Hangzhou Municipal Government, Zhejiang Radio and Television Bureau, and Zhejiang Radio and Televisioon Group, the China International Cartoon & Animation Festival (CICAF) has been held successfully in Hangzhou for a consecutive four years since 2005. The festival will be held again in Hangzhou for the fifth time from April 28 to May 3, 2010.

 

      The CICAF Cartoon & Animation Summit Forum is one of the major professional-level activities during the festival. With four years’ experiences, the forum has become a first-class one of its kind and is gaining an international reputation. It is recognized as an important platform for idea exchanges among professionals in this field seeking more progresses in future.

 

      To better serve enterprises and ensure maximum participation from corporations, the 6th CICAF Cartoon & Animation Summit Forum will offer a whole new platform for all participating enterprises to bring innovation and originality into full play with the ‘enterprise proposition salon’ - a new initiative to be launched during this year’s festival. Regular activities such as ‘masters dialogues’, lectures from special guests, ‘master classes’, and sub-forums initiated by cooperating partners will be maintained this year.

 

      The new initiative encourages participation from all enterprises, academic institutions and related organizations at home and abroad. Topics include finding solutions for a specific company in the cartoon and animation field, seeking a partner to conduct cooperation for a specific project, or conducting case study.
