Date: 11/22/2005
The Hiroshima Animation Souhatsu Kaigi (Hiroshima Animation Emergence Conference) was held on the 21st. Discussed at the event were different strategies that could be applied in the region to locally revitalize the greater industry. The Hiroshima Japan Committee for Economic Development that started the "Hiroshima Animation Biennale" last year is behind the conference. After consulting with commercial partners a proposed plan of action will be brought together by the spring of next year. 14 committee members such as anime director Koji Yamamura and Komatsuzaki Taku have participated in the first meeting. Some plans floated about include supporting further festivals like the Biennale and even building a specialty movie theater complex dedicated to anime. A subsidy of five million Yen courtesy the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has been allocated for the revitalization efforts.
