Da sola

with Percy Bertolini

chair Émilie Gleason

chair Elisabetta Mongardi

Prescriptives norms, solitude, imprisonment, escape. From the streets of brutalist cities, whose architecture reflects the political climate that animates them, until the liberating escape. The debut comics of Percy Bertolini and Émilie Gleason tell stories about characters marked by difference, who are unable to – and don’t want to – conform to the world in which they live. A comparison between two different ways of drawing the body, through the comics, to find a space of freedom in a suffocating reality.

Entry: libero fino a esaurimento posti

Duration: 1h

In collaboration with Diabolo Edizioni, Canicola, Festival La Violenza Illustrata.

Meet the author: Antoine Cossé

chair Matteo Gaspari

with Antoine Cossé

The work of Antoine Cossé is elusive: between pirate mutinies and long car rides in the company of mysterious magicians, his visual approach is ever-changing and modern. Thanks to his mastering of black and white, his use of silence as a narrative device and the existential ambiguity that pervades his stories, Cossé manages to convey a palpable tension, so that even in the most pervasive calm it feels like the explosion is just around the corner.

Entry: libero fino a esaurimento posti

Duration: 1h30

In collaboration with Erasmus Mundus in Culture Letterarie Europee, Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna, Breakdown Press.

Uno e molti

with David Marchetti

chair Manuele Fior

From a generative darkness a cave slowly emerges. From the soil of the cave a flower blooms. And from the flower creatures are born. Individual and collective, bodies that merge and define themselves in an ongoing dance which is music and joy, angst and harmony, affirmation of being. We go out the cave and here starts the journey, the growth, the death, the ascension… David Marchetti’s literary debut is a dense and ethereal book, a philosophical exploration and a visual metaphor of rare harmony.

Entry: libero fino a esaurimento posti

Duration: 1h

In collaboration with Hollow Press.

Meet the author: Anders Nilsen

chair Alessio Trabacchini

with Anders Nilsen

The comics of Anders Nilsen face unarmed the most awkward questions that lie at the roots of human life: what is time? What happens when you die? What is the point of existence? They do it with a clear and direct stroke and a narration that stays in perfect and utterly fragile balance between silence and word, empty and full, development and stalling of the plot. To celebrate the Italian publication of Big Questions (Eris Edizioni), one of the most important comics of recent years, Nilsen reflects upon his career and his work.

Bambino Paura

with Juta

chair Francesco Cattani

chair Alberto Sebastiani

A film troupe arrives to a small town in the countryside to shoot a horror movie. The leading role is assigned to Giulio, a local child who immediately becomes a little celebrity. But the dark side of success emerges and rumors start in the town about Giulio actually having malignant powers. With Bambino Paura, Juta paints a loving and equally scary portrait of the countryside, halfway between slice of life and genre fiction.

Meet the author: Gabriella Giandelli

chair Ilaria Tontardini

with Gabriella Giandelli

Gabriella Giandelli’s artwork has enlightened the Italian comics scene; the artist speaks about her work, which is at the same time in the middle and on the margins of the contemporary scene due to the finesse of research and the poetics focused on the dimension of absence, loneliness and time that pass by.
