Meet them at BLON!

This year, BLON brings together a great line-up of creators and industry professionals from around the world. You’ll hear their stories on stage, but some of the best conversations might happen in between – over coffee, after a talk or at one of the festival gatherings. Come to exchange ideas, make new connections and maybe even meet your next collaborator.

Meet the Lithuanian-American creator whose work spans cult animation and comics – and hear about the ideas and experiences behind his distinctive creative world.

Join his talks and get a closer look at his creative world, from animation to comics and everything in between.

Among the many guests joining us from the worlds of animation and games, you’ll meet:

Come curious. Leave with new ideas.

The BLON industry programme is a chance to get closer to the creative process — through talks, discussions, workshops and conversations with people working across animation, games, comics and beyond.

Hear how projects make their way from an early idea to the screen, page or playable world. Discover different creative approaches, ask questions and take some new thinking back to your own work.

The best conversations don't always happen on stage

BLON brings together established professionals, emerging creators, students and people looking for their next idea, collaborator or connection.

Meet the guests after their talks, exchange ideas over coffee, join the festival's social events or simply start a conversation with the person standing next to you. You never know where it might lead.

Four days. Plenty of people worth meeting.
