Animation

Hi,
Perhaps this is a poorly-timed article to mention about Spain's thriving industry but its animation, gaming and production industry is still one of the biggest and best in Western Europe.
Perhaps one of the best aspects of working in the industry in Madrid is that you get to go to sensational Tenerife for one of the continent's best animation festivals, the Tenerife International Animation Festival. There also great events right in town if Europe's most stunning beaches don't appeal to you, at events like the SIGMAD Animation Festival. You've also got the Animac festival in Lleida, the Animabasuro festival in Bilbao and the Animacor festival in Cordoba.
Animation studios in Madrid include: I-real 3D, Ink Apache, ISKRA, La Bombilla, La Huella FX, Next Limit, Septima ARS, Serena Digital, Sopadesobre, Suburbia, Zinkia, 24 Studio, Animamundo, Ars Animacion, BRB, Canal+ Spain, Cartoon Network Espana, Delfin 3D, Free Your Mind and many more. The list of Madrid gaming studios is just as long, with: Connect2Media, CrazyBits, Deep Silver Spain (Koch Media), EA Spain, Enigma Software Productions, Enne Studios, Freedom Factory Studios, FX Interactive, Gameloft, Mercurysteam Entertainment, Newsoft, Over the Top Games, Pro Studio, Pendulo Studios, Revistronic, Small Wonders, Take 2 Interactive Espana, Tequila Works, Tonika Games, Virtual Toys, Virtway, Zed Group and Zinkia Entertainment.
It should come as no surprise that the city has plenty of schools with animation programs given the sheer quantity of studios in Madrid. The studio-filling schools include the Escuela Superior de Communicacion Imagen y Sonido (CICE), the Centro Integral de Cursos Especializados, the Media Business School, Tracor The Arts Institute, SEPTIMA ARS Escuela de Cine y TV, the Escuela de Profesiones Art, the Escuela Superior de Artes y Espect and the Escuela Superior de Dibujo Profesional.
