BFI Southbank will be the venue for the premiere

Leah Wolchock’s award-winning film takes us behind the scenes to meet cartoon editor Robert Mankoff and the remarkable artists who submit their work each week. It’s a funny, fascinating and poignant look at the business of making people laugh.

The screening of Very Semi Serious will be followed by a conversation with three of Britain’s top cartoonists (and PCO members) Jeremy Banks (Financial Times), Carol Isaacs (freelance, inc The New Yorker) and Will McPhail.
