Of other Cartoon 360 titles, ”Under the Sofa,” a family project from Spain’s Teidees Audiovisuals and potential web-series, depicts some tiny creatures living below a sofa. According to Yolanda Alonso, Cartoon Masters and Cartoon Connection director, “the most important thing is to clearly establish the project’s content –its DNA–then choose the best platform and connect with appropriate audiences in the best possible way.” A true facts-inspired film, “Black is Beltza” turns on Manex, a young Basque who travels to New York to march rigged up as one of the carnival giants.Ĭartoon 360’s projects take in features, TV-series, web-series, apps, comic-book and video games. But the figures of two black giants are excluded from the parade. Inspired by a comic-book, and shaping up as the fiction film debut of multi-tasking Basque artist Fermín Muguruza, “Beltza” kicks off in October 1965 when a group of Basque giants and carnival heads are invited to march down New York’s 5th Avenue on Hispanic Day. It is described as a transmedia project “twinning research and activism in order to end impunity for sexual violence in current armed conflicts,” according to Stéphane Hueber-Blies and Nicolas Blies at a_Bahn.Īlso targeting adult audiences, “Black is Beltza” is produced by the Basque Country’s Talka Records & Films and Catalonia’s Setmagic Audiovisual. “Zero Impunity” is produced by France’s a_Bahn, Camera Talk and Webspider and Melusine Productions in Luxembourg.
