Central Vapeur 5

The festival will shortly be celebrating its last christmas before a change of season in 2016 to a new date in march.
There will also be some changes to the various locations used during the Festival as the redevelopment of the former Friche Laiterie / Hall des Chars site has led us to seek alternative spaces. Consequently, The Drawing Dialogue / Dialogue de Dessins between Tom de Pékin and Pierre Faedi will be taking place in the black-room that the Kafteur has kindly lent us for the occasion. October Tone will be organising this year’s concerts just a stone’s throw away from the Salles des Colonnes where the Festival will continue to be held.
Guests include : our old friends l’Articho and Les Requins Marteaux, Kiblind magazine and a venture into their graphic world, children’s book publishers Les Fourmis Rouges, Bülb Comix’s box in a box, the rebels from Lyon Mauvaise Foi, Collection review’s exacting selection of contemporary drawing… on the home front, 2024 will be parading their stars, alongside left-field publishers Papier Gâchette, new faces and old, familiar ones like l’Institut Pacôme who’s farewell we will be wishing on sunday.
As for exhibitions, there will be plenty to discover, Violaine Leroy’s graphic novels, Delphine Harrer and Anna McKeir’s tattoo parlour, and a full programme of pro sessions and discussions taking place at the Maison de la Region. As for the next round of Battlestar Drawings we ask you to wait just a bit longer until the 12th of March and next year’s successor CV6, that runs from 10 to 20 March 2016.
