The program for this year’s MoCCA Art Festival features a rich mix of animators, cartoonists, graphic artists, and writers. Our special guests include Jessica Abel, Rebecca Donner, David Hajdu, David Heatley, Chip Kidd, Alex Robinson, Frank Santoro, and Brian Wood. Saturday’s program opens with author Blake Bell talking about his new Steve Ditko biography, and closes with Dan Nadel in conversation with Chris Forgues (« CF »), whose comics, according to one critic, « exude the ease of someone just now putting all the pieces together to make for consistent great work. » Sunday’s program opens with an illustrated history of radical cartooning, by social movement cartoonist Nick Thorkelson, and closes with a screening of new animated shorts from Scandinavia.

Also worth noting, the 2008 program is being held in tandem with an event at NYU that will take place the day before the Festival officially opens, on Friday, June 6. Sponsored by the New York Institute for the Humanities and MoCCA, « Post-Bang: Comics Ten Minutes After the Big Bang! » features roundtables and presentations on « key trends and debates facing comics in this new, ‘post-bang’ environment. » The day opens with a roundtable on « Comics and Canon Formation » (11:15-12:30) and moves onto « Comics and Kid’s Lit » (1:30-2:45), « Comics and the Literary Establishment » (3:00-4:15) and « Comics and the Internet » (5:30-6:45). The day closes with Art Spiegelman and Gary Panter in conversation (7:00-8:00), and Hillary Chute interviewing Lynda Barry (8:15-9:30). « Post-Bang: Comics Ten Minutes After the Big Bang » will be held at the Cantor Film Center at NYU, 36 East 8 Street.
