As always, Tinta once again invites you to Kino Šiška on Saturday for a full day of comic book festivities.
At the fair, local and visiting comic publishers, bookshops, and sellers of second-hand but still sought-after comic classics will present their newest wares. Alongside the fair, there will be a lively programme featuring activities for children, masterclasses, talks, meet-and-greets with comic artists from near and far, book signings, and much more!
The festival Saturday traditionally concludes with the presentation of the Zlatirepec Awards, this year again joined by the Sophie Castille Award for the best comic translation into Slovenian. The ceremony will also feature singer-songwriter Niko Novak, who will perform songs from his brand-new music-and-comics album Haphazard Reruns (ŠKUC, 2025), created in collaboration with young visual artist Tamara Mihalič.
