24H Shorts Comics Marathon

For the third consecutive year, cinema meets the comic strip at ShorTS, with the third edition of 24 Hours Shorts Comics Marathon. 24 hours, many aspiring cartoonists and one theme: these will be the ingredients mixed on the weekend of 29 and 30 June. In the Seeds that the festival will host in Piazza della Borsa in Trieste, the lights will remain on to light the dreams of all those who want to prove themselves in writing and designing a short comic-strip with a film theme in one day.

After big names like Laura Scarpa, Lorenzo Pastrovicchio and Sio, who in the past few years have had the task of choosing the best among all the participants, this year is the turn of Dr. Pira, the author of Super Relax, an award-winning volume as Best Comics at the Micheluzzi Awards of Napoli Comicon, of the dreamer Giopota who led us in a Bologna “covered in rabbits” with his Un anno senza te, of Menotti, the great connection between the comics and the big screen, and of Ilaria Palleschi, the author of the graphic novel Nina Che disagio.

These big names will come from all over the country to help, advise and eventually crown the best among the participating competitors. Above all, they will decide which participants will see their work published on the Instagram of the festival and then in paperback, inside a real comic book, which will be distributed for free by the two comics shops of Trieste and partners of the event, Fantasylandia and Neopolis.
