Angoulême - 50 Years of comics

In 1974, a group of friends, inspired by what they had seen in Italy and driven by their shared passion, organized a comics fair in their French hometown of Angoulême. Half a century later, the event has become a festival of international renown, and is about to celebrate its fiftieth edition. This documentary tells the story of the creation of the Angoulême International Comics Festival in the context of the 1970s, and the evolution of the event since then, which has made the town a world reference in an exponentially growing bubble market.
