MODORRRA (March 5-6 Bilbao)

THE FATHER OF THE SPIRIT
Will Eisner has passed away. The one that gave the name to Eisner Comic Award was born in the USA in 1917 and created the �graphic novel� concept.

SHORT MOVIES
Short movies are a genre in their own. Stories that don�t need to be long are not necessarily smaller. Where can we see those short movies everybody is talking about?
