6 World V I D E O A G E June/July 2022 Hungarian capital city, Content Tokyo on June 29-July 1, and Karlovy Vary International Film Festival on July 1-9 in the Czech Republic. After that, the film/TV sector takes a well-deserved break until July 29, when it will head to La Jolla, California for the International Fashion Film Festival, just before travelling down under for the MIFF South Market on August 4-7 in Melbourne, Australia, or cooling off at the Locarno International Film Festival (August 3-13) in Switzerland. The month of August also sees the inaugural edition of MIP Africa, which will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, on August 24-26, on the same exact dates of the Edinburgh International TV Festival in Scotland. Both the NATPE Budapest and MIP Africa events are previewed in this Issue’s front cover stories. The month of August will end with the opening day of the Venice Film Festival (to run August 31-September 10) and the Nigerian International Film & TV Summit (August 31-September 2), while September will welcome the return of Rendez-Vous in Biarritz, France (September 4-8), after two yearly virtual editions. Organized by the TV division of UniFrance, Le Rendez-Vous welcomes member companies, international buyers, and industry professionals to promote French film and audiovisual content, from fiction and animation to documentaries and entertainment titles. Themarket also includes presentations and project pitches in its agenda. Next on the industry’s September calendar is the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), to be held in the Canadian city on September 8-18. If any film and TV executives are in the mood to return to New York after that, a traveling caravan could also attend the Woodstock Film Festival, September 28-October 2, before heading to the South of France for MIPJunior and MIPCOM in mid-October. MIPCOM organizers have already unleashed their marketing blasts, but before the start of the Cannes trade show juggernaut (set to take place in October), the international TV sector has a slew of other in-person film and TV events to consider between the months of June and September 2022. The calendar is so busy that cable TV mart Jornadas, traditionally held in Buenos Aires in September, this year will take place in November. It started with Cartoons on the Bay, which took place June 1-5 in Pescara, Italy (pictured at right), and continued with NEM Dubrovnik, June 6-9, the New Images Festival held in Paris, France, June 8-12, for the digital visual world, and the Tribeca Film and TV Festival in New York City, June 8-19. It then moved to the Annecy International Animation Festival, held in Annecy, France between June 13 and 18. Then there’s the Monte Carlo TV Festival, June 17-21, and Sunny Side of the Doc (June 20-23 in La Rochelle, France). That’s followed by Conecta Fiction & Entertainment, happening June 21-24 in Toledo, Spain.
