More than Words: The Appeal of Silent Comics (41:54, 39.3mb)
Barbara Postema gives a number of examples of silent comics from various
authors over the last century. Among them was Marta Chudolinska
who was there to talk about making silent comics from a creative
perspective. She spoke about why she chose to do
wordless comics, relying on peoples assumptions to tell the story and
the good and bad of that, she also spoke of the difficulty
of dealing with complicated issues when using only pictures, the need
for the reader to absorb more from the photos to understand the story,
the power of silent scenes, when people who read their work come up
with different interpretations than intended.
