How do the personal memoir-style graphic novels such as AMERICAN SPLENDOR translate on the big screen? Is the graphic novel adaptation its own genre? What is its relationship with comic book film? This forum, led by a panel of experts, will open up a discussion around the films in this season and beyond, with plenty of opportunity for audience debate. Chaired by Gavin MacDonald (Literary Editor of Flux Magazine and occasional contributor to The Comics Journal), with panel speakers to include Paul Gravett (Director of the Comica Festival at London’s ICA) and Mardou (comic writer/artist whose titles include Manhole, see www.stiroville.com).Tickets: £3.50 full / £3.00 concs (includes £1.00 off any screening in the Comix season)
