12th Cartoon Movie 2010 – 3rd-5th March 2010

"Extraordinary tale" by Raul Garcia and produced by Melusine Productions is selected to participate in the Coproduction forum for European feature films.

Cartoon Movie 2010 will take place for the second time in Lyon (France), the city where cinema was born.

Created in 1999, Cartoon Movie is neither a fair nor a festival, but rather a co-production forum for European feature films. For two intense days, European producers have the opportunity to present their animation projects to all potential buyers in order to negotiate financing, to find partners and to interest distributors. All of this is happening in a very relaxed and convivial atmosphere… the human touch is the soul of Cartoon Movie!

The successful 2009 edition was attended by more than 620 participants, including 180 investors – of which 79 distributors – and 38 professionals from the game industry. 51 feature film projects were pitched, be they in concept, in development, in production or completed films.

EXTRAORDINARY TALES – directed by Raul Garcia and produced by Melusine Productions (Stephan Roelants).

Status: In development/Pre-production

Synopsis: An anthology of five animated tales based on classic Edgar Poe stories presented in a feature film format. Through his encounters with the Raven, Poe is given one last chance to divert his destiny in a series of macabre adventures.

Using sophisticated 3D rendering and lighting techniques, each segment will visually express the graphic universe of illustration masters, thus visually matching the expressionist genius of Poe’s writing.

FILM FUND LUXEMBOURG will be represented at the Coproduction Forum by Norbert Laporte:(norbert.laporte@filmfund.etat.lu)
