Tanja Meissner<\/a>, director of Berlinale Pro, a role that includes management of the European Film Market, points to a number of highlights in this year\u2019s event, which wraps Wednesday.<\/p>\nFirst, is the Animation Days initiative, which was introduced this year. \u201cWe wanted to support the independent animation industry, since it\u2019s a difficult context for them. Animation is a genre in which Europe really truly excels, and Germany is a very strong exporter of animation fare,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe export numbers are really high for family entertainment, which you don\u2019t see in festivals, but it\u2019s a very dynamic industry with a high-end expertise and world-class production facilities. And we have a lot of sales companies in the market who sell independent animation, and we want to support them by giving this a broader appeal, and I think animation needs to be highlighted in this difficult context, in a market like ours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
