Valencia will host this edition between October 1st and 6th, with professional days held on October 3rd, 4th, and 5th. This year, the event adds two new venues, Las Naves and La Harinera, which join Filmoteca Valenciana. Also this year, the Market launches Weird Invest, a day dedicated to investment and financing options for animation and video game projects, with the participation of investors, publishers, and other relevant institutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These three focal points position Valencia as a powerhouse in creative and cultural development within and beyond Spain&#8217;s borders, placing it on par with other cities such as Berlin, Paris, and Amsterdam. The Las Naves and La Harinera venues add more than 10,000 square meters to the event, where projects such as a softlanding space for technologies and the Valencia Game City project are housed. Along with Filmoteca Valenciana, these new additions create a perfect balance and a dynamic cultural flow between the city center and the Grao neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weird Invest will take place on October 3rd, thanks to the support of ICEX, Animation from Spain, and Games from Spain, expanding the conference&#8217;s offerings with professional activities seeking to cover the industry\u2019s entire value chain. The goal is to present new financing models, examine case studies such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baoverse <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Claynosaurz<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and take a closer look at the use of disruptive technologies. Participating investors, publishers, and institutions include Triple Dragon, Animond, Blue Bits, Madwest, Raw Fury, Veemkade Capital, Blackmouth Games, Bright Gambit, Foton Games, Parabellum Games, Elipsis Capital, FEI-EIF, Hulahoop Media, ICO, Enisa, Spain Audiovisual Hub, CDTI, DeAPlaneta Entertainment, MEDIA, the Ministry of Culture, and CESCE.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The official presentation was supported by the General Director of the Valencian Institute of Culture, \u00c1lvaro L\u00f3pez Jamar; the representative for European Funds, Electronic Administration and Innovation of the Valencia Provincial Council, Juan Ram\u00f3n Adsuara; the Director of Las Naves, Marta Chillar\u00f3n; and Weird Market Director, Jos\u00e9 Luis Farias.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The event will feature project presentations, conferences, networking spaces, a showroom, and the WFest short film festival, in addition to special workshops devoted to recruitment, investment, and financing (Weird Invest). This year\u2019s multidisciplinary program is especially noteworthy for a focus on cultural industries. In fact, 12 international agencies will be sending talent scouts to conduct job interviews and view the selection of 180 projects in the official catalog and the 36 short films in competition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45754\" src=\"https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Juan-Ramon-Adsuara-Alvaro-Lopez-Jamar-Jose-Luis-Farias-y-Marta-Chillaron.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Juan-Ramon-Adsuara-Alvaro-Lopez-Jamar-Jose-Luis-Farias-y-Marta-Chillaron.jpg 980w, https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Juan-Ramon-Adsuara-Alvaro-Lopez-Jamar-Jose-Luis-Farias-y-Marta-Chillaron-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Juan-Ramon-Adsuara-Alvaro-Lopez-Jamar-Jose-Luis-Farias-y-Marta-Chillaron-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Juan-Ramon-Adsuara-Alvaro-Lopez-Jamar-Jose-Luis-Farias-y-Marta-Chillaron-705x415.jpg 705w, https:\/\/weirdmarket.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Juan-Ramon-Adsuara-Alvaro-Lopez-Jamar-Jose-Luis-Farias-y-Marta-Chillaron-450x265.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">THE SHOWROOM WILL FEATURE STANDS FOR 13 VIDEO GAMES, 3 SCHOOLS, AND 3 FESTIVALS<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also in the industry area, this edition of Weird Market will seek to reinforce the event\u2019s <\/span><b>showroom<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
