12:00 - "Das kalte Herz" Sascha Hommer
In "Das kalte Herz", Sascha Hommer adapts the most famous fairy tale by German Romantic author Wilhelm Hauff. In atmospheric images, he tells the timeless story about being human and carefully adds new aspects without losing sight of the original.

13:30 - "Outline" Michèle Fischels
Michèle Fischels presents an impressive debut with "Outline", in which she demonstrates a keen sense of the special phase in which we cautiously leave our childhood and school days behind and look to the future with uncertainty and anticipation.

15:00 - "Pinke Monster" Claus Daniel Herrmann
Claus Daniel Herrmann's debut is a nuanced coming-of-age story about the power that ideologies can have over even supposedly sensible people if they are given space.

16:30 - "Meute" Noëlle Kröger
This debut by Noëlle Kröger is a plea to question prejudices and look for ways to break down discriminatory structures. There are often no easy solutions. Not for werewolves, not for humans.

18:00 - "Verkehrswende" Felix Pestemer
In the non-fiction comic "Verkehrswende - Wie geht das?" Felix Pestemer looks at current debates on the topic of mobility. Because it affects us all very concretely in our own everyday lives: traffic chaos on the roads and in the cities, ailing infrastructure, isolated rural areas and much more.

19:30 - "Bald" Štěpánka Jislová (in English)
In the award-winning graphic memoir "Bald", Tereza deals with the particular trauma of female hair loss with humor and self-reflexion and comes to terms with her new reality.

21:00 - Comic Battle
This is where beginners, pros and everyone in between duel it out. After registering in advance, they are drawn against each other and draw to a given keyword in the shortest possible time. For their own enjoyment and for the audience.
