Official posters of the 12th edition of MCAF

From the MCAF Facebook page.

This year we asked comic artist Cab (Utown, Hiver nucléaire) to create our new posters.

Inspired by this year’s theme "Creation: from imagination to reality", the Montreal artist wanted to capture that magic moment just before the pencil touches the paper.

Not one, not two, but three variations of the poster will be displayed this year to represent how both the script and drawings come to life.
