"La Poudriere’s ""Animated TV Series/Special: scriptwriting and concept development"" training course focuses on the development of audiovisual works for young audiences. The projects are all adapted from children’s books. This 11-week training course covers two parts: the first focuses on screenwriting for a TV special, and the second focuses on concept development and screenwriting for a TV/Web series. Participants work in groups of three or four authors/directors. At the end, the groups pitch their projects to a panel of 50 European industry experts covering screenwriters, directors, producers, broadcasters and publishing houses. The training course is run in partnership with Umprum animation school in Prague, producing animated clips illustrating the TV series projects developed in Valence. During the 11-week period, course participants also attend the Annecy International Animation Film Festival (France) and market (MIFA). Upon completion of the training, participants wishing to pursue their work in developing TV series have the opportunity to attend Forum Cartoon, the leading event for funding for European TV series projects.
