Meet the Financiers will feature new fiction advisor Cecilie Aspenes from Nordisk Film & TV Fond, who will share her perspective on animation alongside regional funders from the Nordics.

Projects often stall in the idea phase due to a lack of funding, leaving filmmakers and producers unsure of where to begin. FAF has invited regional and national funding organizations to present themselves at the festival. Joining Cecilie Aspenes will be representatives from Creative Europe – Mediadesk, Zefyr and the newly merging regional funds formed by Oslo Filmfond, Viken Filmsenter, and Mediefabrikken.
