SHIP EFFECTS AND SPARE PARTS. foundry, 80
Exceeded ten years of life, the comic festival of the Valencian Community is already a consolidated event with a more than proven ability to attract big names in the genre. Last year I came to Splash the Swiss Enrico Marini and this year we will have the king of comic reporting, the great Joe Sacco! It will not be in person, but he will be interviewed via streaming to treat, surely, the genocide that is being perpetrated with total impunity in Gaza, an area he knows well because he has traveled it from top to bottom to complete that one Palestine: in the Gaza strip which won the prestigious American Book Award on 1996. Besides, will receive the Award A life of vignettes Jordi Bernet, an author with a realistic edge who started with the character of Doña Urraca in Bruguera i, fifty years later, continues in drawing form for a DC Comics an anti-hero set in the Far West who goes by the name of Jonah Hex. I haven't been to any festival for six years and we will be able to play it (metaphorically) from Sagunt.
On the other hand, Dario Adanti, Flavita Banana, Cristina Duran i M.A. January (of The Crane Studio, the Bebetússer, swept away by DANA. Help them!) will participate in a talk about the Greenpeace comic in which they recently participated, Ecotopias. It will be one of the most interesting, but there will be much more, with Marcello Quintanilha (Listen, beautiful Marcia), Antonio Altarriba (The art of flying), Javier Olivares (the meninas) o Lizzy Stewart, author of the graphic novel Alison which triumphed in Great Britain and which has been published in Spanish Nature's mistakes. The communion between comics and science, and essays on comic book authors will be two other topics discussed in a program that includes the exhibition with original graphic work by the author of this year's poster, Nadia Hafid (The good father), children's and youth workshops such as the one that will teach young people to make a mini short in stop motion, and the film cycle that will screen the documentary secrets. The universal polisher [22], the animation tape Robot dreams [23] and the movie the house [23] based on the comic of the same name Paco Roca. S.M.
