KingstOOn is an International Animation Conference, Marketplace and Film Festival presented by Jamaica’s Office of The Prime Minister, in partnership with the World Bank. The event will be held during the period April 5-7, 2019 on the main campus of the University of Technology, Jamaica in Kingston.
The event is aimed at catalyzing the growth of the animation industry in Jamaica, and to attract the attention of international clients for animation services that can be provided by talented Jamaicans.
KingstOOn aims to extend its brand from the home of premier Jamaican animation to the quintessential display of Afro-descendant culture and storytelling through animated media. The Festival is envisioned to become the global hub of Afro-descendant and Caribbean content showcasing original material including stories to international distributors, producers and buyers.
Event Speakers
Industry Experts and Animation Rock Stars from across the globe will be at KingstOOn to share their wisdom and expertise with you. Conference sessions are aimed at advancing your knowledge and experience to the next level. These are just a few of the influential industry leaders who will be at KingstOOn in April 2019.
