TCBF
DIEGO LAZZARIN
Among the several proposals the crowfunding portals offer to the many passionate onlookers who log into them from time to time, this year TCBF has decided to show the Lago Film Fest audiences the Milanese Diego Lazzarin’s odd and surreal creativity.
Comic-strip artist, illustrator, but painter and videomaker too, Lazzarin will be telling us how the monstrous characters living in his comics and short movies start and overall how he succeeded in making himself known through a lucky campaign started on a crowdfunding site in 2015, with which he managed to print, after three years’ work, his first comic book “Aminoacid boy and the chaos order”.
We will be talking with the author about productions by crowdfunding, a topic which will be discussed in detail in a joint exhibition during the next Treviso Comic Book Festival (22-25 September) edition, where Diego Lazzarin will be one of the main guests.
JOAN CORNELLÀ
In 2016 Joan Cornella’, the acclaimed and controversial author of irreverent and nonsense comic strips from Spain, launched a crowdfunding campaign to produce short films with his own short stories. With more than 2 million followers on Facebook and a worldwide fame, reaching the quote was super easy. Treviso Comic Book Festival was the first to bring the Catalan in Italy in 2014, presenting some of his shorts in Lago. For an adult audience only.
