Since calendars for the year 2018 are probably not on sale yet, we'd be hard pressed to tell you to mark those dates on it. "But then, how may we remember such distant dates", you ask? Fear not, friends! We created an event just for you, so you only need to let Facebook (and us) do the reminding! You may find it right here.

NOUVELLES
Le festival Nadeshicon 2018 aura lieu du 6 au 8 avril! Plus que 351 dodos!
Les calendriers de l'année 2018 n'étant probablement pas encore en vente, nous ne pouvons malheureusement pas vous suggérer d'y inscrire les dates; "alors, comment vais-je me rappeler de jours si lointains", nous demandez-vous? C'est simple! Nous avons créé un événement Facebook spécialement pour vous! Vous pouvez le trouver juste ici.

Final hour
And so the 7th official edition, which was on the theme of luck, comes to a close! So many activities, guests, shows, screenings and panels all more memorable than the next.
The comments and suggestions panel has started. Be it bad, be it good, let it all out and let us know what you think of the festival. If you feel so inclined you may also make suggestions for the future for us to consider. The closing ceremony has also ended, marking the official end to this year's amazing festival. A big thank you to all the guests, panelists, volunteers, medias, merchants, artists, and, of course, attendees for coming around and making this festival a success! We will see you all again next year for our 8th edition, but also in various events and conventions before that throughout the year!
