Actialuna

Actialuna has become a contributing member of the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF).  The IDPF is an organization that supports the development of digital publishing and whose chief role is the standardization of a digital book format called the ePub. In collaboration with LIP6 (The Pierre and Marie Curie University) Actialuna's contribution is focused on the establishment of specifications for multilingual books.

Actialuna was invited to address this subject during the first conference IDPF held in France, during the Paris Book Salon of 2013.

"Volcano Boy" was rewarded with the Digital Book Award during the 10th ceremony of La Nuit Du Livre, held on the 8th March in the magnificent library of the Automobile Club of France.

Actialuna co-published with Flammarion a fiction e-book for adults in the form of book application, written by Mathias Malzieu, accompanied with animated and interactive illustrations of Frédéric Perrin and the original music produced by Dionysos. 

"Volcano Boy" is a tender and melancholy story of a young girl whose little brother falls into a volcano and dies. She is reunited with him when, one day, her brother comes back to her in the form of a fiery little ghoul.
