Copenhagen International Comics Festival, Komiks.dk, will once again celebrate the wonderful world of comics and graphic novels in Øksnehallen, Copenhagen on June 1st and June 2nd 2013.
After having taken a year off to reorganize ourselves in order to make an even better festival experience, Komiks.dk is proud to confirm that the biggest comics event in Denmark is back with a vengeance.
Two days of international and Danish guests, workshops, lectures, interviews, panel discussions, book signings and the chance to dedicate a full weekend to something as wonderful as comics.
We are currently working very hard to ensure that the most cutting edge guests from all over the world will be in attendance at the festival. There will be something for everybody - and that's a guarantee!
So watch this space for updates on guests and events in regards to the festival. You can also find us on ... or even better: Join the hard working, comics loving group of organizers as either a volunteer at the festival or as a member of the many work groups. It takes a village to organize an event such as Komiks.dk, and we can always use more hands and minds.
We are looking forward to seeing you all in June 2013!
SMAK! Komiks.dk er tilbage!
Efter længere tids hvilen på laurbærrene er vi nu i gang igen, og torsdag d. 13. oktober kl. 19 holdes der generalforsamling, hvor DU kan møde op og være med til at præge Skandinaviens største tegneseriefestival!
Den næste Komiks.dk bliver i 2013, og inden da er der masser af arbejde der skal udføres. Derfor har vi brug for folk til:
Markedsføring og PR
Tekstskrivning
Grafik og layout
Planlægning af program og udstillinger
Praktiske opgaver som tilvejebringelse af udstyr
Og meget, meget andet
Alt arbejde i komiks.dk-regi er frivilligt og derfor ganske gratis, MEN heldigvis sørger vi for at have det sjovt mens vi laver det, og vi får alle mulighed for at blive en del af et unikt hjørne i det danske tegneserie-miljø. De som har været med før er generelt enige om at alt sliddet bliver belønnet med renters rente det øjeblik dagen oprinder, boderne er sat op, kunstnerne er på plads, publikum står udenfor i en lang kø og venter på at komme ind og det hele er lige ved at gå løs!
Derfor vil vi gerne opfordre dig og alle dine tegneserie-interesserede venner til at møde op til generalforsamlingen, komme med forslag og melde jer til de arbejdsgrupper I gerne vil bidrage til.
Tid: Torsdag d. 13. oktober kl. 19
Sted: Blågårdens Bibliotek Blågårds Plads 5 2200 Kbh N
Vel mødt, vi glæder os til at se jer!
Komiks.dk bestyrelsen
A big thank you from Komiks.dk!
Another festival is over, and two years of planning, imagining and creating has come to an end.
The organizers of the festival are all tired and over-worked, but it was worth it! For three wonderful days the art of comic books was celebrated in Copenhagen and more people than ever showed up to be part of the celebration.
We tried to showcase the diversity in the comic book medium through our events and the comic creators invited to the festival. From the great American graphic novel to manga from both Japan and Europe. From the European album tradition to experimental underground comics and web-comics. From literary works aimed at an adult audience to cartoons aimed at the comic readers of tomorrow – the children.
We have to say that we are rather pleased with the festival. But even more so with the amount of support we got from both the Danish comic book community and the audience who decided to show up for the festival and make it a success.
Instead of naming a select few we are just going to say this: Thank you to all who helped us organize the festival or make it in any way possible and thank you to everyone who decided that our festival was a good way to spend a weekend.
