MCAF has allowed me to grow professionally and personally, as well as to take on new challenges. I leave with the feeling that I have given my all to support the Festival at an important time in its growth.<br>I have had the immense pleasure of working alongside Virginie Mont-Reynaud, without whom it would have been impossible to present the latest editions, and I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished. I would like to thank the Board of Directors, our volunteers and our partners for their support and trust over the years.

Virginie created the programming committee in 2021, keen to better represent the diversity of today&#8217;s comics and offer an even richer programme. She has encouraged the adoption of inclusive writing and the promotion of self-publishing. Her sensitivity and efforts have made it possible to present gender-balanced programming since 2024 and to give greater visibility to artists whose voices are still under-represented by publishing houses. Her leadership has also been essential in developing prestigious international partnerships, such as the focus on swiss comics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Virginie&#8217;s appointment as Co-executive Director and Artistic Director seemed therefore a natural choice and will take effect after the 15th edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>With 10 years of experience as part of the festival team, Virginie has in-depth knowledge of our organisation and its projects.
