Angouleme Press Conference Set

You know your comics festival's a big deal when you can send out a press release announcing a press conference and no one laughs at you.

The forthcoming Le Festival d'Angouleme, January 27-30 2005, will announce its official schedule at a press conference on December 2 in a famous Parsisian nightclub (at least I think it's a nightclub) called L'Olympia. A wall display on-site will continue advertising the festival to Parisiens from the conference's end until the festival begins.

Many of the events have been previously reported.

Of interest to some might be the tone of the release, which indicates that finding ways for the show to have broader appeal is a chief concern for organizers. Festival-goers and comics fans have in recent years debated Angouleme's orientation towards excellence in art versus popular art.

Here's another article from a French site that seems to indicate that comics albums continue to sell well, but what moves remains traditional series and those with tie-ins to other media.
