CINEKID EXPERIENCE

DAY 1

Cinekid Conference (10:00 – 18:00)
In the morning the conference programme will feature the latest  
developments in the film, TV and cross-media sectors. In the afternoon  
session we will focus on Mobile Applications (the growing trend in  
product delivery to kids) either attached to existing productions or  
as a stand-alone project.
Film: French Animation Wave
Back in the earliest days of cinema, the first animated projected film  
originated from France. Over the past decade French animators have  
picked up the pace once more. In fact many, if not most, animated  
films produced in Europe over this period were made in a French studio  
and (co-) produced by France (and Belgium). Very recently several  
award-winning French animated films for children have dominated the  
festival circuit, such as Le Chat Du Rabbin, Couleur De Peau: Miel  
(English title: Approved for Adoption), Ernest et Célestine and  
Zarafa, many of which are showing at Cinekid Festival 2012. With  
acclaimed French animation directors and producers we will discuss the  
latest developments within the sector, the special 'French animation  
touch' and the secret behind France's success.
TV
Watch as the world of children’s TV passes before your eyes. Sit back  
and relax and let Eurodata TV Worldwide update you on the newest  
children’s programmes worldwide with over 20 new clips as well as  
ratings analysis and trend reports.
Cross Media
Cross Media or Transmedia is always on the move. We have invited  
experience strategy producers, who have worked with Pottermore, BBC  
Worldwide’s Doctor Who, Channel 4 and Warner Brothers, to reveal  
several examples of best practice and to provide specific tools to  
improve your Cross Media strategy. In addition, focus will be placed  
upon understanding and implementing media design so that you can  
possess the tools and knowhow to empower children to design their own  
interactive experiences.
Mobile Applications
The Cinekid for Professionals special focus this year is on mobile  
media. As children from all age groups increasingly turn to apps it is  
essential that we further explore this new world of mobile  
applications. What are the design principles within mobile  
applications and what are differences in app use between different age- 
groups? Let experienced consultants provide you with tools on how you  
can actually make money out of your applications, what are the  
suitable platforms for content, and how to close these deals. Award  
winning app creators will inform you on the latest and most jaw- 
dropping apps on (or soon to be on) the market and share best practice  
on creation and strategy.

DAY 2: (09:30 – 18:00)

Pitch Cross-Media projects Junior Co-production Market
If you register for the Cinekid Experience you will be able to attend  
the pitch of the cross-media projects of the Junior Co-production  
Market. The pitch is normally only open to the financiers and  
producers of the market, however for the Cinekid Experience visitors  
we can offer you the unique opportunity to attend the pitch of the  
highly innovative and experienced production companies from all over  
the world and learn from their latest cross-media projects in  
developments. 10 Projects in total will be pitched.
(09:30 – 13:00)

Workshop Creative Cross-Media
Cinekid for Professionals will organize a workshop focussed on the  
creation of cross-media productions during the early stage of  
development. Together with the authors and the producers of 2 projects  
in development, Jan Willem Huisman, Creative Director of IJsfontein (a  
specialist in interactive communication and media productions) and  
Phil Parker (a well-known script expert) will explain and debate the  
different challenges that may occur during the creation of cross-media  
properties. The workshop is tailored to a maximum of 40 participants.
Organized in partnership with PRIMEHOUSE, organizers of the  
development workshop Prime4Kids&Family.
 (14:00 – 15:30)

OR

Seminar 2nd Screens
Already an immediate sold-out success during the UK Children's Media  
Conference we now bring the 2nd Screen seminar to Cinekid for  
Professionals! From 2nd screen ads in the Superbowl breaks to ‘Million  
Pound Drop’ and beyond: this panel session will bring you up to date  
on what’s out there and what’s coming soon in this latest area of  
media innovation. We’ll also ask how 2nd screen will work in the kids’  
space? How can broadcasters and producers deal with issues such as  
moderation, cost and access?  Is 2nd screen a holy grail to get kids  
back in front of the telly or will it just be a side-show  
(literally!)? Leading content producers will give us access to the  
creative processes and approaches required to develop apps that work  
in coordination with live TV. The panel session will be followed by a  
Q&A. Organized in partnership with the Children’s Media Conference.
(14:00 – 15:30)
