The Graphic Festival 2015

The Graphic Festival 2015

Now in its fifth year, The Graphic Festival is a testament to the popularity and wide-reaching influence of graphic storytelling, illustration, animation and music. This year’s line-up boasts an array of events and big names in the creative world.

George Miller will be making an exclusive appearance at the festival for ‘In Conversation’, an onstage discussion with co-writer and illustrator Brendan McCarthy and co-writer Nico Lathouris to discuss the making of Mad Max: Fury Road.

Director of cult films Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Comic Book Men) will also be flying into town for what will surely be an interesting debate titled ‘Marvel vs DC’.

Sarah Blasko will debut her fifth album Eternal Return, accompanied by visuals from filmmaker Mike Daly.

There will also be several free events including a screening of the first episode of Season Six of The Walking Dead and talks with Brendan McCarthy, Nicola Scott and Animal Logic.

Festival co-curator Jordan Verzar said: “Graphic is a festival unlike any other taking place in the world today… I love the fact that we are able to give artists the ability to do what they do best, create art; and it’s the end results of these acts of creation which become our festival.” (ASim)
