Nigeria's Animation Sector Participation at Annecy/MIFA with 15 Studios

TLDR

• The French Embassy in Nigeria and Animation Nigeria have supported this presence, with four Franco-Nigerian co-productions reportedly signed since 2022.
• Nigeria’s animation sector returned to Annecy/MIFA with more than 15 studios participating, a dedicated Nigerian pavilion showcasing over 50 studios, and The Travails of Ajadi selected in official competition.
• A pavilion at MIFA is market infrastructure only if it helps studios meet buyers, producers, broadcasters, distributors and investors with projects that are legally and commercially ready.
• Animation Nigeria and partners should document meetings, option discussions, co-production leads, pitch feedback, rights gaps, training needs and follow-up timelines.
