KingstOOn 2016 is being launched as a 2-day Animation Conference, Marketplace and Film Festival as a part of the continued effort to catalyze the growth of the animation industry in Jamaica, and to continue attracting the attention of international clients.

In this instance, KingstOOn will extend the brand it established in 2013 as the home of premiere Jamaican animation to the quintessential biennial display of Caribbean animation and Afrodescendant culture and storytelling through animated media. In order to do so, KingstOOn 2016 will operate along three core themes: LEARN, EARN and DISPLAY.
To operationalize these themes, KingstOOn 2016 will:

Facilitate the exposure of participants to more granular business topics, with more content specific workshops;
Create a space for the exchange of knowledge and experiences, via panels and networking events;
Encourage the interaction between producers, buyers and consumers of content, via speed meetings and networking events;
Catalyze the exchange of ideas and community of practice within Afrodescendant animators, via the first international Afrodescendant Animation Film Festival;
Showcase Jamaica as a bedrock for Afrodescendant stories, academic exploration and ultimately animation production;
Demonstrate animation as a viable economic option through its many manifestations (games, non-entertainment, features, etc.)
The EVENT

KingstOOn 2016 is chocked full of content and opportunities. There will be: Expert Animation Panels offering understanding of the opportunities and challenges in the global industry and how can Jamaica position itself to take advantage of the current situation; and Animation Workshops to allow participating youths to interact directly with professional animators. Workshops will delve into the technical aspects of animation, with case studies, demonstrations of 2D and 3D software possibilities, as well as career development prospects with participating national and overseas colleges specializing in the trade.

The KingstOOn Emerging Animated Content Competition (KEACC) will showcase Jamaican and Caribbean talent currently working in the animation industry but also in related fields to allow participation of a broader pool of youths talented in the visual arts. The animation festival will comprise five different categories:

Best Storyboard;
Best Character Design;
Best Caribbean Short Film;
Best Concept.
The KingstOOn Pitch Competition will put the four (4) best teams from the KEACC in front of executives from major studios around the world to pitch their ideas and receive feedback live.

Finally, the KingstOOn International Film Festival (KIFF) is set to showcase International Afrodescendant Content. The animation festival will comprise five different categories:

Best Special Effects;
Best Student Film;
Best International Short Film;
Best International Feature Film;
People’s Choice.
The OBJECTIVES

The objectives of KingstOOn 2016 are three-fold:

To provide participants, and in particular Caribbean animators and associated professionals, with the avenues to begin to LEARN the nuances of the global animation pipeline, by engaging directly global industry leaders in various aspects of the business of animation, including education;
To create opportunities for participants to EARN from their engagement in animation at any level, by facilitating the creation of pitch decks and pairing pre-qualified individuals with potential content buyers within varying contexts;
To DISPLAY Afrodescendant animated content in the first International Afrodescendant Animation Film Festival, by showcasing content developed by studios from around the world that speak to the afrodescendant reality (stories, images, music, customs…).

The event is set to take place on March 17, 2016 at the Hilton Rose Hall Hotel & Spa in Montego Bay. It is being hosted by the Tourism Linkages Hub in partnership with the Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association (JHTA), the Jamaica Manufacturers’ Association (JMA), Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA) and other entities.

The first Tourism Linkages Speed Networking Event saw nearly 200 supplier and buyer companies meeting directly to discuss business opportunities and to also negotiate contracts. This massive support given by local businesses has been lauded by the Minister of Tourism and Entertainment Hon. Dr. Wykeham McNeill as being “a gratifying demonstration of real commitment to the concept of backward and forward linkages.”

The speed networking event is currently open to businesses who offer a wide range of goods and services. Participants in the past included suppliers of: craft, toiletries and guest amenities, chemicals and cleaning products, cosmetic and spa products, furniture, bedding, food and beverage, uniforms, printing and packaging, training, ICT goods and services, electrical services, meat and fresh produce.
This year, the Tourism Linkages Hub hopes to diversify the businesses participating, by having more service-oriented organisations present.

“Specifically, we want to include entertainment and construction services in a more strategic way. We have invited proprietors who have not yet started building their properties as well as existing hoteliers who will be expanding and/or refurbishing in the near future. Also, entertainment practitioners have requested an opportunity to speak to industry players directly, so this will be ideal for them,” said McDonald-Riley.

Interested parties are being asked to contact JMA’s Andrea Leslie at 922-8880-3 or the Tourism Linkages Hub at 920-4926-30 for more information.

Registration forms are available at the Jamaica Manufacturers’ Association (JMA) and must be submitted by the extended deadline of March 4, 2016.

St. Paddy’s Day Celebration

The National Gallery of Jamaica is staging a panel discussion to accompany its Explorations IV: Masculinities exhibition. This panel discussion will take place on Thursday, March 17, starting at 1:30 pm, at the National Gallery of Jamaica, and will be followed by a curatorial tour of the exhibition.

Moderated by Senior Curator O’Neil Lawrence, the panel will include Lecturer in Sociology, Psychology and Social Work, Dr Moji Anderson; Gender and Social Research Specialist, Suzanne Charles-Watson; Lecturer in Anthropology (Qualitative research), Dr Herbert Gayle; and dancer and choreographer Kevin Ormsby. Using the various themes presented in the Masculinities exhibition as their contextual framework, the panellists will engage with the social and cultural issues explored within the exhibition, particularly with how masculinities are understood, enacted and contested in Jamaican society.

The Masculinities exhibition is part of the National Gallery’s Explorations series, which explores major themes in Jamaican art and the critical issues in Jamaican society these themes represent. The series also creates a dialogue between contemporary, modern and historical art produced in and about Jamaica, yielding new insights about Jamaican art and society in the process. Its current edition Explorations IV: Masculinities looks at the varied ways in which the concept of Jamaican masculinities have been represented, and at times challenged, within the visual arts.

The Masculinities panel discussion on March 17 is free and open to the public, as is the curatorial tour which follows after. The Explorations IV: Masculinities exhibition was originally scheduled to close on March 5 but has been extended until March 26.

For One Night Only- Come out and see Hollywood Actress Sardia Robinson Award Winning Play From Yardie to Yankee.

From a Yardie to a Yankee is a compelling story of life experiences growing up as a young girl in Kingston, Jamaica and how I overcame many, many obstacles. Being raised in a high crime ridden area of Jamaica I struggled literally walking over dead bodies on the streets to endure the possibility of being raped. The frustrations, the feeling of hopelessness and despair were each part of my daily experience.
Family, life, love, death and circumstance can all derail our best intentioned plans if you let them. (Sardia Robinson)
