London Film and Comic Con
Die London Film and Comic Con (LFCC) ist eine seit 2004 jährlich stattfindende Veranstaltung in London rund um die Themen Filme, Fernsehen, Videospiele, Anime und Comics.
Geschichte
Die London Film and Comic Con begann im Jahr 2004 und wird seitdem von der Eventagentur Showmasters organisiert, der gleichen Firma die in ganz Großbritannien die Veranstaltungen Autographica und Collectormania betreibt.[1] In den vergangenen Jahren hatte die Messe zahlreiche Gäste aus Film und Fernsehserien, so unter anderem die Schauspieler-Besetzung von Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter und Heroes.[2] Zudem werden ca. 25 Minuten lange Vorträge, professionelle Fotoshootings, Autogrammstunden sowie Waren verschiedener Art angeboten.[3] Dabei gehören die Einzelhandels-Ausstellungen zu den lukrativsten Verdienstmöglichkeiten der Veranstaltung. Laut einer Besucherumfrage geben mehr als ein Drittel der Besucher allein für die Ausstellungen 500 bis 2000 Pfund aus.[4] Für die Ausstellungsfläche wird aktuell eine Angebotsmiete von 150 Pfund pro Quadratmeter verlangt.[5] Im Juli 2015 verzeichnete das Event über 95.000 Besucher. Showmasters kündigte an, die Messe in Zukunft auch in den Städten Newcastle upon Tyne, Cardiff, Sheffield und Bournemouth veranstalten zu wollen, nannte aber kein konkretes Datum.[6]
