The 13th  Weird Market – International Market for Animation, Video Games and New Media and 3D Wire Fest - International Animation Festival, started on Thursday 30 September, welcoming a large number of professionals. This event goes back to its presential format: “It was a logistical challenge, but it was essential for the industry to get back together again and continue creating synergies, projects or planting ideas, which is the essence of Weird Market”, says director José Luis Farias.
