| This
year, in coproduction with Flash-Back Ediciones, the Film Festival will
present an exhibition dedicated to Carlos Giménez (Madrid, 1941),
one of the greatest authors in the world of fantasy comics. Holder of
an incredible imagination, fantasy and humour, with essential works including
Hom, Dani Futuro, the series Paracuellos or
Érase una vez en el futuro, excellent narrator, brilliant
comic strip artist -passionate yet critical-, society chronicler, the
Festival will also organize a complete monographic exhibition on his work.
“We
didn’t have Treasure Island, but we did have the comics
El Cachorro, El Guerrero del Antifaz. For a child
who liked drawing it was moreover his drawing board and project for
the future. If there had been paint at my school, I may have been an
artist, or a sculptor, but there were only comics. I said: ‘I
want to be a comic strip artist when I grow up’, and that’s
exactly what I’ve done”.
