Fumetto
The 14th Fumetto will be taking place from the 16th to the 24th of April 2005. The international Comix-Festival has established itself over the years as being one of the most ambitious festivals around and attracts those in the know plus all types of art-lovers. Fumetto will be presenting 20 main exhibitions from both national and international artists, a side/ alternative program with animated films, workshops, talk shows, speeches plus signing hours. The numerous exhibitions will be on display in Lucerne's town centre including the Art Museum, various galleries and historical buildings. The traditional comic-competition has been launched under the title "HEIMAT" (homeland). An extremely emotional term that is definitely in when we consider world globalisation and migration.
Apart from the above-mentioned main exhibitions, Fumetto will also be presenting numerous satellite exhibitions and window displays in various local businesses and restaurants.

Fantoche A Cartoon program "Unheile Welten² (Disastrous Worlds)
The International Animated-film Festival, Fantoche will present an exclusive
movie program for Fumetto, entitled "Homeland² (Heimat).
Actual short-film productions from east and west, plus north and south will
show just how different and tension-filled the theme "Homeland² can be
interpreted within the cartoon- metier. But even more intriguing is the way
in which the experience involved with uprooting is dealt with.
The program offers both a small taste of the next edition of Fantoche, which
will take place in Baden from the 6th 11th of September plus a closer look
at cultural identities¹ performances in animated films.
