INTERNATIONAL MEETINGSA series of monographic reference meetings with Zograf, Conrad, Serge Clerc, Florence Cestac, Scott McCloud, Jean-Pierre Dionnet, Lai Tat Tat Wing, Paul Pope, among others ...
As a privileged moment for exchanges between authors and Festival-goers, this highlight of the Festival offers an interactive presentation of authors with the help of a multimedia installation. Each artist is invited to reveal the secret of their inspiration before 300 people in a monographic conversation freely conducted by a journalist or the audience, as they may interrupt when they please. These are neither debates nor solemn lectures, but rather fascinating interviews with simultaneous translation: the guests answer in their native language the questions they are asked in French while the non French-speaking audience gets to hear in English what the French-speaking guests say.

Here again, the Angoulême Festival proves that far from being an aficionados' ghetto, it aims at encompassing worldwide cultures.
