At the closing ceremony of the 4th edition of CANIMAF, and in accordance with the partnership agreement between the festival and Cinéma Uni, a development grant was awarded to Tiomatsa Ylarie by Cinéma Uni, led by Jules Eyango. This distinction celebrates Ylarie's remarkable journey during her creative residency at Zebra Comics, where she was able to advance her animation project, The Golden Soul, thanks to the studio’s artistic and technical support. This grant not only recognizes her talent but also serves as a key opportunity to push her project towards the production and distribution stages.
