Casa de Cultura a gazduit evenimentul finantat partial de autoritatile locale si organizat cu pasiune de scenaristul, editorul si autorul de benzi desenate Marko Stojanovici. Iar mansarda a fost locul unde s-au tinut prezentari si mai ales discutii  despre banda desenata in general. Tot aici isi desfasoara activitatea si scoala de benzi desenate coordonata de acelasi Marko Stojanovici. La deschidere a fost plin de oameni, dupa cum se poate vedea aici: [video] dar in restul timpului festivalul a fost dedicat interactiunii intre autorii si editorii din diversele tari participante, dupa cum ii spune si numele Intalnirea tinerilor autori din Balcani.
