The image of the festival, also revealed at the press conference, was entrusted to Ennio Bufi: illustrator for Edizioni Piemme and Bao Publishing of Geronimo Stilton comic books, cover designer and designer of the Don Camillo comic series (Re Noir Comics), and collaborator with Star Comics, Grand Angle and Sergio Bonelli Editore.
The theme of the 2024 edition of MolFest will be Kindness: kindness, understood as a moral act of empathy and inclusion. Inclusion and attention towards valorization of local associative realities will indicate the path towards the launch of the event: for this reason, a mapping of the local associative realities has been carried out, a work which is nearing completion, to collect possible memberships and insert them into a broader scheme which sees the participation of excellence of the world Comics, Games, and POP in general, on a national level.
The weaving and business development work was entrusted to the company Step, from the LEG Live Emotion Groupthan with the project Comics Festival Community has made itself available to develop this new Format which envisages, also from a production point of view, the valorisation of the corporate resources of the territory which are in fact added to the cultural ones. The event will take place on 29 and 30 June 2024 between Piazza Garibaldi, the Old City, Corso Dante and Banchina San Domenicowhich will turn into a large village that will welcome characters from comics, cartoon heroes, concerts, meetings, stands and entertainment, all at zero cost to the public.
«Welcoming the Municipal Administration’s invitation to use the greatest number of local workers for the staging of the festival – comments Gianluca del Carlo, Head of Project Management – Production of LEG Live Emotion Group – in a context where the real catalysts are the local associations, which are accepting to participate in a totally new experience, it makes the game more challenging. However, we believe that obstacles are springboards to fly higher.”
«I’m sure that – he comments Mayor Tommaso Minervini – local businesses will be able to seize the great opportunity, a high-level showcase, which comes from participating in this festival as protagonists. Molfetta enters the Comics Festival circuit to become a point of reference for southern Italy. For this reason, as a Municipality, we have invested in the initiative of strong national scope which also aims at the inclusion and valorisation of the Molfetta area”.
