FILMZENTRUM IM RECHBAUERKINO / RECHBAUERSTRASSE &, 8010 GRAZ / AUSTRIA

PRESENTATION 'ANGER DIARY 2: WIRED WORLDS'

Well, if you think this world is is weird, you ought to see some of the other ones ! (Philip K. Dick)

Nobody knows better than graphic novelist, director, illustrator etc. Joerg Vogeltanz, born in 1968 in graz/austria as well as academic of literary and film/cinema-studies and awarded writer Thomas Ballhausen, born 1975 in vienna/austria, both sure-footed wanderers in the fields of gloomy anti-worlds, proudly presented the long desired part 2 of the anger diaries' first trilogy , "wired worlds" and made the most of the evening by including an on-stage-discussion, moderated by 'falter'-magazine styria editor-in-chief thomas wolkinger and, subsequently, showed a more than just fitting cineastic piece of art from the uk (THE NINE LIVES OF TOMAS KATZ) which completed the vespertine psychological de-programming of the audience.

Here are some photographical impressions of the evening (click2enlarge!):

oh, yes, aaaand...:

Hey guys!!!

Unfortunately I couldn´t attend the latest get-togethers...

@Jörg: Is there a chance to take part in your FH lecture as student?

so damned hot...

2008-07-08T18:48:00.004+02:00

the temperature was sweltering when we met for jam number 5; so we were prepared that most of our fellow drawers would stay in their swimmingpools and cryogenic tanks. nevertheless, here are some impressions of the fifth drawing jam... anna-maria introduced her very talented friend from new york city, becky, and the evening turned out as highly amusing, even with much less contributors than usual.

More stuff from the 4th drawing jam

2008-05-18T12:10:00.008+02:00

Nice stuff, Jörg! I took some pictures of some of the drawings - I did not get all of them, so post them yourselves if you want. I had fun and hope to see more and more people coming. The drawings refer to following topics (in the same order): Alien weapons, male heroes, alien religion, female heroes.

small news

2008-04-30T12:13:00.003+02:00

After a semi-conspirational meeting with Anna-Maria and Florian this morning in the "Caf'é Kaiserfeld" in Graz we came to the conclusion that the next Comic Jam will have to be held earlier than may 23 because Anna-Maria will visit the Comic Salon Erlangen. So... please give us feedback/proposals for an alternate date.

Proposal

2008-04-20T13:23:00.004+02:00

Michael Wittmann, Austrian Illustrator and Comic Artist will visit Graz on May 23... he´d like to participate in the next Drawing Jam Session... so: How about May 23 to hold the next Jam..?

Feedback welcome!

PS: the 23rd day, the 5th month... coincidents, coincidents....... :-)
