AEPA (Spanish Association of Animation Coproduction), sponsored by ANIMACOR (Association for the Development of the Animatiion Industry) and the County Council of Córdoba, and the collaboration of the Provincial Consortion of Economic Development, has organized on previous occasions, three international meetings of animation producers. On this occasion the Second Multilateral Animation Coproducers' Forum will be held in Córdoba, within the framework of the animation festival, ANIMACOR'07.

The countries invited to this Second Multilateral Animation Coproducers' Forum are: France, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Portugal and Spain.

The meeting, of 3 days' duration, is designed for producers and broadcasters of the six countries, and will, therefore, take place enterely in English. The selection criteria for all producers has been the viability of their project, be it for the cinema or television, and the possibility of offering co-production to any of the other countries participating in the forum.

The producers will also have the opportunity to present their projects to invited television studios.
