Nippon Yokai

with Elisa Menini

chair Matteo Gaspari

In una stanza, in piena notte, si accendono tante candele quanti sono i partecipanti al gioco. Ciascuno, a turno, racconta una storia di fantasmi, e alla fine del racconto spegne una candela. La stanza si fa più buia al procedere del gioco. Alla fine, spenta l’ultima candela, si manifesta uno yokai, uno spirito potente, a volte benevolo, altre malvagio. Elisa Menini rivisita l'iconografia tradizionale giapponese di Hokusai e Horishige in questo libro.

with Alex Bodea

chair Alice Milani, Emanuele Rosso

Mr. Hesus, a middle-aged migrant who has a hard time fitting in his host country, seems to be the only person immune to "Intrux", a weird phenomenon causing objects to look out of focus and eventually disappear. 
He decides, then, to transcribe the world into images before it becomes definitively unintelligible. A dystopian graphic novel touching upon some of the most complex issues of our age:  belonging, isolation and the craving for community, and our accumulated deficit of attention to details.

with Davide Minciaroni

chair Valerio Stivé

Rob ha iniziato una nuova scuola, la Cipollo II. Lì incontra Chico, come lui fanatico di videogiochi RPG, che diventa subito suo amico. Ma anche Bill, capo di una gang di bulli che si divertono a tormentare le matricole. Che cosa succede quando l'ultimo arrivato sfida a duello il più cattivo della scuola? L'esordio di Davide Minciaroni mescola l'immaginario dei battle shonen a uno stile pop e gommoso, giocando tra nostalgia e invenzione.
