<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weird Market, the International Animation, Video Game and New Media Market, celebrates its 15th anniversary as an incubator of national and international talent. This edition, defined by its organizers as a \u201creboot\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a rebirth after the move last year to Valencia<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will take place from September 26th to October 1st. The event, which brings together hundreds of industry professionals, features the development of IPs and the discovery of new creators and projects among its strong points. \u201cWe aim at being the channel and the tool to fully develop the potential of all those who are part of this industry, being a focal point to promote synergies, collaborations, co-productions in animation, video games, new media, comics, and illustration. Weird Market is the place to find companions on this journey and where ideas are the most important thing,\u201d says its Director Jos\u00e9 Luis Farias.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year\u2019s official image was created by Jossie Malis, a multi-award-winning illustrator, animator, and filmmaker of Peruvian-Chilean origin. The colorful design organically combines references from the author\u2019s own work with visual themes of the event, such as cube shapes.\u00a0 \u201cThis year we wanted to represent Weird as the machine that drives great ideas forward,\u201d says Farias.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malis has an outstanding career that spans two continents (Europe and America).
