ジェクト趣旨
日本アニメは今や世界中から注目を集めています。しかし、この業界を支える優秀な人材は
日々の業務に追われており、グローバルな視点を養う機会は限られています。
今後、日本アニメが国際市場で存在感を一層高めていくためには、
現場の人材が国際的な経験や視点、感覚を身につけることが不可欠です。
こうした問題意識から、我々は「グローバル・アニメ・チャレンジ」を企画しました。
これは3年間をかけて世界で活躍できる次世代クリエイターを育成しようという試みです。
国内から才能ある若手アニメーター、プロデューサー、監督/ 演出家の
計6名を選び出し、文化芸術活動基盤強化基金を活用して、
英語のマンツーマン特訓と海外展開に関するワークショップ、
海外の一流スタジオでのインターンシップ、パイロットフィルムの制作と
海外アニメイベントへの出展を経験してもらいます。
この挑戦を経て得られた新たな発見や創作姿勢を土台に、
彼らが将来、アニメ業界に革新をもたらすリーダーに成長することが我々の願いです。

About GAC Project
Global Anime Challenge is a three-year program funded by Agency for Cultural Affairs. Its purpose is to nurture the Japanese anime industry's next generation of the creatives. Six talented young animators, producers, and directors, will be selected to experience internships at world-class studios outside of Japan for three months. Then they are to develop concept trailers to be presented at the world's top animation exhibition events such as Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France as well as Anime Expo in USA.
- During their internships, scope of these creators' visions would be broadened and enhanced by learning similarities and differences in production style or how to get artistically inspired. Such experiences would sure to influence and stimulate their own creativity as well as become more aware of uniqueness and strengths of the Japanese anime at the same time.
- When they develop their concept trailers afterwards, they would integrate such creative influences and their own understanding of Japanese anime into their anime production at the studios they work for. We will bear witness to how this project has transformed these creators by seeing their test works being showcased overseas and the success is measured by whether they would gain further international recognitions.
Our ultimate goal and expectation are that these creators would eventually lead in bringing innovations to the whole anime industry in Japan.
