0. DOGAĐANJA / EVENTS Zagreb Nedjelja, 1. lipnja/ Sunday, June 1 15:00 Neformalno otvorenje FEKP 2014. / FESS 2014: An Informal Opening ČUVAJTE SE: HRVATSKI PISCI KUHAJU! / BEWARE: CROATIAN WRITERS ARE COOKING! Zoran Ferić, Senko Karuza, Robert Mlinarec, Ivica Prtenjača 20:00 Kako čitati i pisati Brazil / How to Read and Write Brazil KRATAK UVOD U SUVREMENU BRAZILSKU KNJIŽEVNOST / A SHORT INTRODUCTION TO THE CONTEMPORARY BRAZILIAN LITERATURE Paula Parisot, João Anzanello Carrascoza, João Paulo Cuenca, Ana Paula Maia Kakva je zemlja koja izranja iz književnih praksi suvremenih brazilskih pisaca? I postoje li ključevi koji bi je otključali za hrvatskog čitatelja? Kako se u književnim djelima ogledaju jedna od najbrže rastućih svjetskih ekonomija i naličje toga rasta, zbilja i mit, velegradi i favele? I koji dio svega toga bilježi kratka priča?

What kind of a country emerges from literary practices of contemporary Brazilian writers?

Are there keys that could unlock it for the Croatian reader? How does literature mirror one of the fastest growing world economies and the flip side of that growth, reality and myth, megalopolises and favelas? And which part of all this does the short story record?

Moderiraju / Moderated by: M. Bojić i R. Simić Bodrožić Zagreb Eye, Ilica 1a CRO/PORT/ENG Ponedjeljak, 2. lipnja / Monday, June 2 13:00 Jarun Otvaranje prije otvorenja: Nogometna utakmica Hrvatska–Brazil / Opening before Opening: Football Match Croatia–Brazil KNJIŽEVNI NOGOMET PRIJE KNJIŽEVNOSTI (PRIJE NOGOMETA) / LITERARY FOOTBALL BEFORE LITERATURE (BEFORE FOOTBALL) Je li nogomet baš uvijek ispred književnosti ili se mogu događati (barem) istovremeno, pokazat će nesvakidašnji sraz na nogometno-književnom polju. Baš kao i Svjetsko nogometno prvenstvo, i Festival europske kratke priče otvara susret Brazila i Hrvatske.

Brazilsko-europsko-hrvatska reprezentacija književnika važne stvari raspravlja s ekipom hrvatskih nogometnih legendi. (Štitnici obavezni!)

Does football always come before literature, or can they (at least) happen at the same time? This extraordinary face-off on the football-literary field will show. Just like the World Cup, the Festival of the European Short Story opens with a match between Brazil and

Croatia. The Brazilian-European-Croatian team of writers discusses some important issues with the team of Croatian footballing legends. (Shin guards required!)

18:00 Razgovor / Conversation SVE NAŠE POBUNE / ALL OF OUR REBELLIONS Vesna Lemaić, Želimir Periš, Damir Uzunović, Emir Imamović Kako se bunimo u tekstu i mogu li naše pobune (ondje) promijeniti svijet (izvana)? Kakvu književnost pisati u turbulentnim vremenima i postoje li uopće neka druga – koja nam ostavljaju izbora? Šteti li politički/društveni angažman književnosti ili je bez njega nema?

How do we protest in the text and can our rebellions (in there) change the world (out there)? What kind of literature should we write in turbulent times and are there, actually, some other times – that leave us choice? Does political/social engagement harm literature or literature does not exist without it?

Moderira / Moderated by: K. Brajdić Klub Booksa, Fra Grge Martića 14d CRO 19:00 Razgovor / Conversation EU KAO KRATKA ILI DUGA PRIČA – UVOD, ZAPLET I MOGUĆNOSTI RASPLETA / EU AS A SHORT OR LONG STORY – EXPOSITION, RISING ACTION AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF RESOLUTION Robert Menasse, Srećko Horvat Ugledni austrijski književnik i esejist Robert Menasse otišao je u Bruxelles napisati roman o glavnom gradu Europe i vratio se s knjigom eseja Europski vjesnik: Bijes građana i mir Europe u kojoj prikazuje funkcionalnu hijerarhiju EU. Srećko Horvat nije htio otići u Bruxelles da bi otkrio kako funkcionira današnja EU; umjesto toga udružio je snage sa Slavojem Žižekom i napisao knjigu Što Europa želi? (Algoritam, 2013) koja pruža prilično drugačiju i mračniju sliku. Menasse i Horvat u debati o dobrim i lošim stranama Europe, o njezinoj povijesti i budućnosti, o kratkoj i dugoj priči, uz zaplet i rasplet.

A distinguished Austrian novelist and essayist Robert Menasse went to Brussels to write a novel about the capital of Europe and came back with a book of essays Der Europäische Landbote, Die Wut der Bürger und der Friede Europas in which he depicts the functioning hierarchy of the EU. Srećko Horvat did not want to travel to Brussels to discover how the EU of today functions, instead he joined forces with Slavoj Žižek and wrote Što Europa želi?

(What Europe Wants, 2013), which offers a considerably different and darker image.

Menasse and Horvat in a debate on good and bad sides of Europe, on Europe’s history and future, long and short story, with rising action and resolution.

Utorak, 3. lipnja / Tuesday, June 3 11:00 Brazilski kutak za profesionalce / Brazilian Corner for Professionals SUSRET BRAZILSKIH PISACA S HRVATSKIM NAKLADNICIMA, UREDNICIMA I PREVODITELJIMA / MEETING WITH CROATIAN EDITORS, JOURNALISTS, TRANSLATORS AND PUBLISHERS Klub Booksa, Fra Grge Martića 14d CRO/PORT 12:00 Razgovor / Conversation Tommy Wieringa Tommy Wieringa, superzvijezda nizozemske književnosti, ima sve: čitaju ga i kupuju Nizozemci (njegova najnovija novela tiskana je u 700.000 primjeraka!), prevode ga stranci (na više od 15 jezika; kod nas mu je preveden hit-roman Joe Speedboat), kritičari mu dijele nagrade (sve ih je više), a javnost ga cijeni – zbroj svega toga donio mu je titulu najvažnijeg nizozemskog pisca 2013. godine (Editio top 35). O svojim likovima, pričama i bestselerima, a i ponešto o ulozi pornografije u modernom svijetu (da, ima knjigu i o tome!) razgovarat će sa studentima i ljubiteljima nederlandistike.

Tommy Wieringa, the superstar of Dutch literature, has got it all – he is read and bought by the Dutch (his last novella had a print run of 700,000 copies!), translated by the foreigners (into more than 15 languages; his hit-novel Joe Speedboat was translated into Croatian), awarded by the critics (there’s more and more awards he has received), and appreciated by the public – the sum total of these criteria earned him the title of the most important Dutch author of 2013 (Editio top 35). About his characters, stories and bestsellers, and, for just a little bit, about the role pornography plays in the modern world (yes, he has written a book about that too!), he will talk to the students and fans of Dutch language and literature.

Forma koja je u posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća dala pisce i knjige (možda i festivale :-) ) bez kojih se slika hrvatske književnosti ne da zamisliti – jaše dalje, gladna i željna novih izazova! O aktualnom trenutku, kanalima kojima do nas dolazi, novim i starim piscima te knjigama priča koje se ne smije propustiti!

Who said that the short story in Croatia had laid low? The form that in the past couple of decades gave us writers and books (perhaps festivals too :-) ) without which Croatian literature cannot even be imagined – is still in the saddle, hungry and eager for new challenges! The current moment, the channels it traverses to get to us, the new and the already established writers and books of stories that you mustn’t miss!

Moderira / Moderated by: R. Simić Bodrožić Knjižnica i čitaonica Bogdana Ogrizovića, Preradovićeva 5 CRO 17:00 Predstavljanje/Presentation Paolo Cognetti Zašto se za Paola Cognettija kaže da život talijanskoga Sjevera prikazuje na američki način? Kako je pisati u prvom ženskom licu? Kako se piščevo muško ja nosi sa složenim osobnostima svojih junakinja? Kako od priča napraviti roman? Zašto su mu filmovi dokumentarni, a tekstovi fikcionalni? Zašto se osamiti u planini? O ovim i drugim temama talijanski pisac Paolo Cognetti govorit će na susretu sa svojim sadašnjim i budućim čitateljima.

Why is it said of Paolo Cognetti that he describes the life of the Italian North in an American way? What is it like to write in the first person feminine? How does the writer’s masculine “I” deal with the complex personalities of his heroines? How does one make a novel out of stories? Why are his films documentary, and his texts fictional? Why does he

seclude himself in the mountains? Paolo Cognetti will talk about these and many other topics before his present and future readers.

Peruško Talijanski institut za kulturu, Preobraženska 4 ITA/CRO 19:00 Razgovor / Conversation BRITANSKA KRATKA PRIČA: TRENUTNO STANJE / BRITISH SHORT STORY: STATUS REPORT Jon McGregor, Jenni Fagan Dva uzbudljiva autorska glasa, dvoje priznatih i nagrađivanih pisaca podnosi izvještaj o najnovijim zbivanjima na britanskoj književnoj sceni. Govore: Jenni Fagan, jedina škotska književnica 2013. uvrštena na listu najboljih mladih britanskih autora po izboru časopisa “Granta” (popis se objavljuje tek jednom svakih 10 godina!), i Jon McGregor, autor s dvije nominacije za nagradu Man Booker i, po riječima odbora BBC-jeve nacionalne nagrade za priču, drugi najbolji kratkopričaš Velike Britanije!

Two exciting voices, two acclaimed, prize winning authors are submitting a status report on the most recent developments on the British literary scene: Jenni Fagan, the only Scottish author who in 2013 made it onto Granta Magazine’s list of the Best Young British Novelists (the list is published just once in a decade!), and Jon McGregor, the author with two Man Booker nominations and, according to BBC National Story Award, Britain’s second best short story writer!

Marica Bodrožić Svojom poezijom i prozom, kratkim pričama i esejima, njemačka autorica hrvatskih korijena Marica Bodrožić osvojila je posebno mjesto na suvremenoj njemačkoj, ali i europskoj književnoj sceni. Dobitnica Europske nagrade za književnost 2013, kao i niza drugih prestižnih nagrada (Nagrada Heimito von Doderer, Nagrada zaklade Robert Bosch, Nagrada Adalbert von Stifter, Initiativpreis Deutsche Sprache, Special Bruno Heck Prize for Outstanding Emerging Artists, Liechtenstein Prize for Literature, LiteraTour Nord Prize...), s urednikom Seidom Serdarevićem razgovara o romanu Sjećanje libela (Fraktura, 2014), o tome kako se u njezinu djelu došaptavaju poezija i proza, o tome gdje se u njoj susreću “domaći” i “strani” jezici te zašto je piscu uvijek iznova potrebno propitivati sjećanje i zaborav.

With her poetry and prose, her short stories and essays, Marica Bodrožić, the German author of Croatian descent, won a special place on the contemporary German as well as European literary scene. The recipient of the European Union Prize for Literature in 2013, as well as a number of other prestigious awards (Heimito von Doderer Award; Robert Bosch Foundation Prize; Adalbert von Stifter Award; Iniativpreis Deutsche Sprache; Special Bruno Heck Prize for Outstanding Emerging Artists; Liechtenstein Prize for Literature; LiteraTour Nord Prize…) talks to the editor Seid Serdarević about her novel Das Gedächtnis der Libellen (2010), about poetry and prose whispering to each other in her work, about the place(s) where “domestic” and “foreign” languages meet within her, and about why writers again and again need to ask new questions about memory and oblivion.

Ili jednostavno: od čitanja do pisanja i kako natrag – iz očišta Davora Mandića, novinara, urednika, kritičara, pjesnika, a sada i kratkopričaša s objavljenom prvom zbirkom, te Marka Gregura, pjesnika i prozaika koji se istaknuo na brojnim domaćim književnim natječajima i upravo čeka izlazak druge knjige priča.

From the first sentence to the first story, from the first character to the first book, from writing about someone else’s texts to creating one’s own, from the first prize to the first anthology. Or simply: from reading to writing and how to go back – from the perspective of Davor Mandić, a journalist, editor, critic, poet, and now a short story writer with the first published collection and Marko Gregur, a poet and a writer praised at many literary competitions in Croatia whose second book of stories is forthcoming.

CRO/ENG Petak, 6. lipnja / Friday, June 6 Zagreb 19:00 Razgovor / Conversation David Vann: američki klasik u nastajanju / David Vann: An Upcoming American Classic Nakon što se prije dvije godine predstavio hrvatskoj publici svojim hit-prvijencem, zbirkom priča Legenda o samoubojstvu, dolazi nam proslavljeni američki pisac David Vann, neizostavno ime na godišnjim top-listama najboljih knjiga, miljenik kritičara i žirija te sveučilišni profesor književnosti. O kratkoj priči i romanu (bore li se za prostor, grizu li se u njemu, ili ostvaruju relativno miran suživot), o književnoj muci i uspjehu, o svemu što je u njih ugrađeno i o mnogočemu drugome s Davidom Vannom razgovara jedna od ponajboljih hrvatskih književnica mlađe generacije – Maja Hrgović.

Two years after his hit debut book, a collection of stories Legend of a Suicide was presented to the Croatian audience, we are happy to welcome David Vann, a celebrated American writer, an unavoidable name on annual best selling lists, a favorite to critics and juries, and a professor of literature. About the short story and the novel (do they fight over space, do they bite at each other within it or are capable of a relatively peaceful coexistence), about literary agony and success, about everything built into them, about these and many other things David Vann talks to one of the best Croatian writers of a younger generation – Maja Hrgović.

Moderira / Moderated by: M. Hrgović Zagreb Eye, Ilica 1a 20:00 Čitanje i razgovor / Reading and Conversation IGRA ZAVOĐENJA / THE GAME OF SEDUCTION Ivana Simić Bodrožić, João Anzanello Carrascoza, Zoran Ferić, Paula Parisot, Tommy Wieringa U malo prostora, s malo riječi: kratka priča treba zavoditi brže i bolje od ostalih pripovjednih formi. Jezik, tema, ideja, ton ili ritam: čime nas privlače pisci koje volimo, u što se zaljubljujemo, kad se zaljubljujemo u priču?

In as little space and as few words as possible – short story should seduce more quickly and effectively than any other narrative genre. Languages, themes, ideas, tones or rhythms – what is that attracts us to the writers we love, what is we fall in love with, when do we fall in love with the story?

Party ZATVARANJE FEKP 2014. / FESS 2014 CLOSING PARTY Koncert / Concert Zagreb Eye, Ilica 1a

Otvor: Predgovor / Foreword 13 Dobro je znati. Bolid Formule 1 s brojem 13 – ne postoji. Nekretnine na tom broju u Britaniji se, kažu, prodaju jeftinije, na konzolama liftova diljem svijeta trinaesti se katovi preskaču, sobe u hotelima zaobilaze, a ruska svemirska agencija nedavno je priopćila da će sljedeći let broda Sojuz nazvati “Misija 14”, eto, baš zbog toga.

No, baš takav – nemio, neparan, izbjegavan i prešućivan – broj 13 je priča, a za dobru je priču ovaj festival oduvijek bio spreman riskirati.

U naših trinaest (dižemo čašu!) stalo je fantastičnih pisaca i knjiga, užitaka i smijeha, prijateljstava i otkrića književnih – i baš zahvaljujući njima svako je izdanje FEKP-a imalo vlastitu boju, zvuk i okus. A samo zbog njih (tih boja, zvukova i okusa) i mi smo ovdje gdje jesmo, radeći to što radimo.

Možda i najvažnija lekcija koju smo naučili u dosadašnjem školovanju: uz jezik (pisaca i priča), matematiku (fondacija i sponzora) i biologiju (dobar dio članova organizacijskog odbora FEKP-u je posvetio barem trećinu života!), od sviju predmeta festivalskih najvažnija je kemija!

A u kemiju ovoga festivala ugrađen je svaki njegov sudionik i organizator, svaki volonter i slušatelj – pa kako da se onda odreknemo čitavog jednog broja, jer svaki je broj godina, a svaka godina su ljudi, a svi ti ljudi su priče, a sve te priče smo... mi?

Evo i koga je zapalo da mjesto zauzme u nizu između 12 i 14, na pola puta do našeg 26. izdanja: Sjajni četverac – João Anzanello Carrascoza, João Paulo Cuenca, Ana Paula Maia i Paula Parisot – domaćoj će publici predstaviti književnost ovogodišnje zemlje partnera FEKP-a: kratku priču Brazila! David Vann izniman je gost i njegovi tekstovi predstavit će najbolje iz slavne tradicije američke kratke priče, no neće zaostajati ni Europejci. Na zastavi 13. FEKP-a književne su zvijezde iz&izvan EU: Marica Bodrožić, Paulo Cognetti, Jenni Fagan, Vesna Lemaić, Emir Imamović Pirke, Robert Menasse, Jon McGregor, Damir Uzunović, Tommy Wieringa i Kristīne Želve, a uz njih i oni rođeni pod sretnom zvijezdom (pogađate: književnici hrvatski!): Zoran Ferić, Drago Glamuzina, Marko Gregur, Srećko Horvat, Maja Hrgović, Senko Karuza, Davor Mandić, Zoran Pilić, Edo Popović, Ivana Simić Bodrožić, Želimir Periš...

Ali koliko god mnogo bilo – ni to nije sve.

Još jednom FEKP vodi pisce u prelijep grad (hvala Šibeniku!), još jednom pokreće prevoditeljsku radionicu (iz brazilske književnosti), još jednom kratku priču spaja s kreativcima iz drugog medija (video-radionica), još jednom kuhamo i čitamo, diskutiramo i knjige predstavljamo, nogomet igramo... a uza sve to, ove 13. godine, u partnerstvu s InYourPocketom i rezidencijom za pisce u Ventspilsu (Latvija) pokrenuli smo natječaj za kratku priču koji domaće pisce vodi na Festival i na Baltik.

I može li se onda – pitam – iz utrke izbaciti taj festivalski bolid, jeftino prepustiti to zdanje, ne pritisnuti taj broj na konzoli i ne inzistirati na toj sobi – ne poletjeti tim letom u književni svemir, u priču?

Ne, mi svoje trinaestice ne propuštamo.

A vi?

Vidimo se ovih dana, na Festivalu europske kratke priče.

13 It’s good to know. Formula 1 car number 13 – does not exist. In Britain, they say, the real estate located at this street number is sold for less, on the elevator consoles all over the world the thirteenth floor is skipped, rooms in hotels are avoided, and the Russian Space Agency recently announced that the next flight of the Soyuz spacecraft is going to be called “Mission 14”, probably for this very reason.

But, because it is such – unwanted, odd, avoided, and not talked about – the number 13 is a story, and for a good story this festival has always been ready to go out on a limb.

In our thirteen (let’s cling our glasses!) we fitted some fantastic writers and books, pleasures and laughter, literary friendships and discoveries – and thanks to them, each edition of the FESS had its own color, sound and taste. And only because of them (those colors, sounds and tastes) we too are where we are, doing what we’re doing.

Perhaps the most important lesson we’ve learned in our education up to now: along with the language (of writers and stories), mathematics (of foundations and sponsors), and biology (a good number of our organizing committee members has dedicated at least a third of their lives too the FESS!), out of all festival elements the most important one is chemistry!

And each participant and organizer, ever volunteer and audience member is built into the chemistry of this festival – so how could we give up on one whole number, for every number is a year, and every year is people, and all those people are stories, and all those stories are… us?

And here’s who got it to occupy a place in the line between 12 and 14, half way to our 26 th edition: The splendid four – João Anzanello Carrascoza, João Paulo Cuenca, Ana Paula Maia and Paula Parisot – will present the literature of the festival’s partner country –Brazilian short story! David Vann is our special guest and his texts will show us the best of the celebrated tradition of the American short story, but the Europeans are not going to fall behind. The standard of the 13 th FESS bears literary stars from&from outside of the EU: Marica Bodrožić, Paulo Cognetti, Jenni Fagan, Vesna Lemaić, Emir Imamović Pirke, Robert Menasse, Jon McGregor, Damir Uzunović, Tommy Wieringa and Kristine Želve, and along with them those born under the lucky star (you guessed it right: Croatian writers!) – Zoran Ferić, Drago Glamuzina, Marko Gregur, Srećko Horvat, Maja Hrgović, Senko Karuza, Davor Mandić, Zoran Pilić, Edo Popović, Ivana Simić Bodrožić, Želimir Periš...

But despite this plenty – this is not all.

Once again the FESS is taking its writers to a beautiful place (thank you, Šibenik!), once again it starts a translation workshop (in Brazilian literature), once again it brings the short story together with artists from another media (video workshop), once again we’re cooking and reading, discussing and presenting books, playing football… and with all that,

in this 13th year, in partnership with InYourPocket and the writers’ residency in Ventspils (Latvia), we started our short story competition that takes Croatian writers to the Festival and the Baltic…

So, can you – I ask – eliminate that festival car from the race, let go of that building for next to nothing, not press that number on the console and not insist on that room – not take that flight into the literary universe, into a story?

No, we do not let our thirteens slip.

And you?

See you at the Festival of the European Short Story.

3. Programi / Programs Brazil, zemlja partner Kao što književnost živi od prekoračivanja granica, tako se i Festival europske kratke priče ne zadržava samo na Starom kontinentu, nego nas u potrazi za iznimnim pričama, uvijek novim svjetovima i književnim partnerstvima ove godine vodi sve do Brazila!

Lista najboljih mladih brazilskih autora u posebnom izdanju utjecajnog časopisa “Granta” i poziv Brazilu da na posljednjem Sajmu knjiga u Frankfurtu bude počasni gost, potvrdili su pojavu brazilofilije u književnim krugovima – nezasitne strasti za putovanjima u imaginarni Brazil koju ćemo iskusiti i zadovoljiti na 13. izdanju FEKP-a. Kao i uvijek, FEKP prati ali i kreira književne trendove dovodeći mlade pisce koji su zvijezde ne samo na domaćem terenu nego i na svjetskim festivalima; pisce koji obilježavaju antologije i duh vremena, osvajajući redom i nagrade i čitatelje. Našu želju da svojim pričama osvoje i

hrvatsku publiku (jer nas već jesu!) prepoznali su i podržali Zaklada nacionalne biblioteke i Ministarstvo kulture Brazila – hvala vam!

Sa sjajnim, poznatim i priznatim Joãom Anzanellom Carrascozom, Joãom Paulom Cuencom, Anom Paulom Maia i Paulom Parisot družit ćemo se na čitanjima i razgovorima, prevoditeljskoj radionici i susretu s hrvatskim nakladnicima, urednicima i prevoditeljima, a naći ćemo vremena i za nogometni okršaj! Sve kako bismo ispunili cilj najprijateljskijeg domaćeg književnog festivala: da se naši gosti osjećaju kao kod kuće, a da se domaći čitatelji osjećaju kao da su na putovanju!

Brazil, Partner Country Just as literature lives from crossing boundaries, the Festival of the European Short Story does not limit itself only to the Old Continent, but, in the search for exceptional stories, new worlds and literary partnerships, this year it takes us all the way to Brazil!

The list of the best young Brazilian authors in the special edition of Granta Magazine and the invitation to Brazil as a Guest of Honor at the 2013 Frankfurt Book Fair only added to the emergence of brazilophilia in literary circles – the insatiable passion for traveling to imaginary Brazil that we will experience and satisfy at the 13 th edition of the FESS. As always, the FESS follows, but also creates, literary trends by bringing young authors who are stars not only in their home field, but also at world-known festivals; writers that mark anthologies and the spirit of the time by winning both awards and readers. Our wish to let them and their stories conquer the Croatian audience (for they have already won us over!) was recognized and supported by Brazil’s National Library Foundation and Brazilian Ministry of Culture – thank you!

The fantastic, the well-known and well-recognized João Anzanello Carrascoza, João Paulo Cuenca, Ana Paula Maia and Paula Parisot will join us at readings and conversations, in our translation workshop and at the meeting with Croatian publishers, editors and translators, and there will be time for some serious footballing! All this to meet the goal of the friendliest literary festival in Croatia – to make our guests feel at home and make our Croatian readers feel as if on a journey!

Natječaj za kratku priču: FEKP & In Your Pocket!

Jedan džep i jedno “ti” – to je sve što je potrebno priči, ono što svi imamo, o čemu znamo sve i ne znamo ništa: zametak tajne, početak putovanja. Jer džepovi, pa čak i oni koje poznajemo kao vlastite, mogu skrivati bilo što, a kratka priča oduvijek je voljela putovanja koja vode u blizinu.

Festival europske kratke priče i gradski vodič InYourPocket pokreću natječaj za kratku priču na temu U tvome džepu. Žiri sastavljen od pisaca, urednika, novinara i književnih kritičara proglasit će najuspješnije priče na večernjem čitanju FEKP-a, a dobitnik/ca prve nagrade bit će nagrađen/a dvotjednim boravkom u baltičkoj rezidenciji za pisce (Ventspils, Latvija, www.ventspilshouse.lv) i nastupom na završnoj večeri FEKP-a.

Short Story Competition: FESS & InYourPocket!

One pocket and one “you” – that’s all a story needs: something we all have, something we know everything and nothing about – an inception of a mystery, a start of a journey.

Because all pockets, even those we know and recognize as our own, can hide anything, and the short story always loved journeys that take us somewhere close.

The Festival of the European Short Story and InYourPocket opened a short story competition with the topic of In Your Pocket. A jury of writers, editors, journalists and literary critics will announce the most successful stories at one of the FESS’s readings, and the winner of the competition will be awarded a two-week stay at the Baltic residency for writers (Ventspils, Latvia, http://www.ventspilshouse.lv) and a reading at the last evening of the FESS.

Prevoditeljska radionica iz brazilske književnosti Pokrenute kao pokušaj da se mladim i budućim prevoditeljima približe suvremeni svjetski autori, festivalske su prevodilačke radionice svake godine posvećene književnosti zemlje partnera. Uz izlaganja gostujućih pisaca, rad na tekstovima i predavanja ponajboljih hrvatskih prevodilaca, najuspješnijim se polaznicima objavljuju prijevodi i dodjeljuju stipendije ili nagrade. Pod mentorstvom Nine Lanović, ove je godine održana prevoditeljska radionica iz brazilske književnosti za zagrebačke studente portugalskog jezika i književnosti Filozofskog fakulteta u Zagrebu.

Brazilian Literature Translation Workshop Started with the idea to bring contemporary European writers closer to young, aspiring translators, the Festival of the European Short Story organizes translation workshops dedicated to literatures of partner countries. Besides talks and readings by our guest writers, intensive work on texts, and lectures by some of the best Croatian translators, we publish the best translations and award stipends or prizes to the most accomplished participants of our workshop. Mentored by Nina Lanović, this year’s workshop, organized for the students of Portugese language and literature at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, focused on contemporary Brazilian literature.

Antologije europske kratke priče Zamišljen kao prilika da se u sredini koja je izgubila korak s novim europskim književnim imenima obnovi, a u nekim slučajevima i začne sustavno predstavljanje proze europskih pisaca mlađe generacije, ali i starijih autora koji su na njih znatnije utjecali, projekt Antologije europske kratke priče hrvatskom je čitatelju ponudio uvid u najnovija strujanja u suvremenoj europskoj proznoj produkciji. Do danas je objavljeno 18 antologija kratke priče: francuske, nizozemske, hrvatske, njemačke, norveške, slovenske, poljske, srpske, talijanske, mađarske, austrijske, litavske, češke i irske, uključujući posebna izdanja: antologije kanadske, kubanske, australske i kratke priče Commonwealtha. Svoj 10. rođendan FEKP je proslavio antologijom Festival! Antologija europske kratke priče (ur.

Roman Simić Bodrožić, Profil, 2011) u kojoj su predstavljeni domaći i strani pisci, gosti i prijatelji u čijim smo tekstovima kroz sve ove godine otkrivali užitak čitanja i slušanja.

Anthologies of the European Short Story Imagined as an opportunity to promote the work of younger European writers, as well as the work of those who influenced them, in a culture that has somehow lost track of the contemporary European literary names, the project Anthologies of the European Short Story offers to the Croatian readers an insight into the most recent trends in the European prose production. Up until now 18 short story anthologies have been published: French, Dutch, Croatian, German, Norwegian, Slovenian, Polish, Serbian, Italian, Hungarian, Austrian, Czech, Lithuanian, and Irish, with special editions of Canadian, Cuban, Australian and the short stories of the Commonwealth. FESS celebrated its 10 th birthday by publishing “Festival! Antologija europske kratke priče” (Festival! An Anthology of the European Short Story, ed. Roman Simić Bodrožić, Profil, 2011) that presented both Croatian and foreign writers, our guests and friends whose texts helped us discover the pleasure of reading and listening.

Hrvatski pisci kuhaju Jedan od najozbiljnijih kandidata za titulu piscima najdražeg festivalskog događanja tradicionalna je fešta dobrodošlice na kojoj domaći autori otvaraju vrata svoje književne i ine kuhinje. Izbor delicija dostojno sažima Festival europske kratke priče: ukusno i kvalitetno, maštovito i osobno! Okosnicu hrvatskog književno-kulinarskog tima gotovo od samih početaka Festivala tvore Senko Karuza, Zoran Ferić, Robert Mlinarec i Ivica Prtenjača. Kuharska ispomoć, kao i inspiracija, dosad je prelazila i međudržavne i žanrovske granice, a rezultati su uvijek bili veličanstveni, pa ne sumnjamo da će ove godine biti išta manje slasno!

Croatian Writers Cooking One of the most serious contenders for the title of the most popular festival event among the writers is our traditional welcome feast where Croatian authors open the door to their literary and all other types of cuisine. The choice of delicious treats serves as a praiseworthy summary of the Festival of the European Short Story: tasty and refined, creative and personal! The backbone of the Croatian literary-culinary team almost from the very beginnings of FESS is made of Senko Karuza, Zoran Ferić, Robert Mlinarec and Ivica Prtenjača. Their sous chefs, their helping hands as well as their inspiration, have until now crossed all international and genre boundaries, and the results have always been glorious, so there is no reason to suspect that this year it will be any less appetizing!

Kratke videopriče Književnost, navodno kao šesta umjetnost, voli zakoračiti u vode sedme – koliko su puta romani i drame ekranizirani, kratke priče također. Tako i FEKP hrabro umače nožne prste u celuloidne vode. Potoci i rijeke naših (kratkih) priča prelijevaju se u pokretne slike; brazilski tukani, zagrebački golubovi i šibenski galebovi vode nas kroz čaroban svijet FEKP-a, kroz njegove priče i pričice, upoznaju nas s njegovim gostima iz svih kutaka Europe i svijeta – sada i na filmskom platnu. Dizajnerski kolektiv NJI3 (Tessa BacharachKrištofić, Dina Milovčić i Franka Tretinjak) i on, Vedran Kasap, profesor na Studiju dizajna Arhitektonskog fakulteta u Zagrebu, spajaju šestu i sedmu i tko zna koje još umjetnosti te nam donose Kratke videopriče FEKP-a.

Short Video Stories Literature, supposedly as the sixth art, likes to venture into the waters of the seventh art – how many times have novels and plays been turned to screen, short stories too – and thus the FESS is ready to valiantly dip its toes into the celluloid waters. Streams and rivers of our (short) stories spill over into moving images; the toucans of Brazil, the pigeons of Zagreb, and the seagulls of Šibenik take us on a journey through the magical world of the FESS, through its big and small stories, they introduce us to its guests from all corners of Europe and the world – now on the movie screen too. NJI3 Designer Collective (Tessa Bacharach-Krištofić, Dina Milovčić and Franka Tretinjak) and he, Vedran Kasap, professor at the School of Design at the Faculty of Architecture in Zagreb, combine the sixth and the seventh and who knows which other forms of art and bring us FESS’s Short Video Stories.

4. Suradnja / Cooperation Sjajni brazilski potoci

Ponekad nas najkraći put do opisa nečega što je i samo kratko vodi zaobilaznicom: bonsai je najlakše opisati ako ga usporedimo s borom. Tako je i s kratkom pričom. Usporedimo li je s romanom, uočit ćemo razlike, ali ponajprije će na vidjelo izaći njezina jedinstvenost.

Za E. M. Forstera roman je pripovjedni oblik kroz koji teku priče-rijeke. Nastavljajući se na tu sliku, za kratku priču možemo reći da je ona potok. Između uskih obala čitav je svijet: priča-potok ide svojim tokom, a na površini se odražavaju nebo i krajolik.

Teritorijalno prostranstvo Brazila vidljivo je i u njegovoj književnosti, naplavljenoj dugim rijekama i sjajnim potocima.

Da, naši veliki pisci nisu se udaljili od potoka. Machado de Assis je, osim izvrsnih romana, napisao preko stotinu prvoklasnih kratkih priča. Guimarães Rosa ostavio nam je roman

Grande sertão: veredas (Velika divljina: Putevi), ali i prekrasne kratke priče. Isto vrijedi i za Clarice Lispector. I Raduana Nassara. I Graciliana Ramosa. Jorge Amado i Erico Verissimo, obojica vrsni romanopisci, ponekad su zaplivali u kratkoproznim vodama. Čak se i pjesnik Carlos Drummond de Andrade pridružio kraćoj struji svojim Contos Plausíveis (Vjerojatne priče). Nismo još ni spomenuli genijalne pisce poput Daltona Trevisana i njegov književni opus koji gotovo isključivo počiva na kratkoj priči, pri čemu dijeli sličnosti s Alice Munro, prošlogodišnjom dobitnicom Nobelove nagrade za književnost.

Nagnuti nad kartom Brazila, zamišljajući književnost jučer i danas, otkrit ćemo brojna čudesa u mreži rijeka i potoka.

Srećom, Festival europske kratke priče omogućava prikaz snage, složenosti i raznovrsne ljepote brazilske kratke priče, koju ovdje predstavljaju Ana Paula Maia, João Paulo Cuenca, Paula Parisot i moja malenkost. Opus ove grupe izraz je urbanog i ruralnog, modernog i arhaičnog, svjetovnog i globalnog, epskog i lirskog, stvarnosti naše zemlje i našega društvenog imaginarija. Lijepi su brazilski potoci i festivalska publika sigurno će uživati u njihovu otkrivanju.

Splendid Brazilian Streams Sometimes the shortest way to the description of something that is in itself short takes us on a bypass: easiest way to describe a bonsai is to compare it to a pine tree. The same goes for the short story. If we compare it to the novel, we will notice the differences, but, most of all, its singularity will come out into the open.

E. M. Forster said that the novel is a narrative form through which many river-stories flow.

Picking up on his metaphor, we could imagine the short story as a stream. Within its narrow banks, an entire world lies – the story-stream flows down its course with the sky and the landscape reflected in it.

Territorial vastness of Brazil is reflected in its literature as well, fed by long rivers and splendid streams.

Yes, our great writers never distanced themselves from the stream. Apart from his excellent novels, Machado de Assis wrote over a hundred of first-rate short stories. Guimarães Rosa left us Grande sertão: veredas (The Devil to Pay in the Backlands), but also wonderful short stories. The same is true of Clarice Lispector. And of Raduan Nassar. And of Graciliano Ramos. Jorge Amado and Erico Verissimo, both exceptional novelists, sometimes went for a swim in short-fiction waters. Even the poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade joined the short stream with his Contos Plausíveis (Plausible Stories). We have not even mentioned some brilliant writers, such as, Dalton Trevisan, whose literary oeuvre is almost entirely based on short stories, similar to Alice Munro, last year's winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Leaning over the map of Brazil, imagining literature today and yesterday, we will discover many wonders in the network of rivers and streams.

Luckily, the Festival of the European Short Story has provided an opportunity to showcase the power, complexity and diverse beauty of the Brazilian short story, represented by Ana Paula Maia, João Paulo Cuenca, Paula Parisot and myself. This group's work is an expression of urban and rural, modern and archaic, worldly and worldwide, epic and lyrical, the reality of our country and our social imaginarium. Brazilian streams truly are beautiful and the audience will surely enjoy discovering them.

Književnost bez granica (LAF) europska je platforma za književnu razmjenu, program inicijativa te mreža partnerskih organizacija čiji je cilj unaprijediti europsku kulturnu razmjenu na području književnosti i prevođenja kroz multilateralnu suradnju, koja uključuje istraživanja kulturne politike kao i publikacije, osposobljavanje prevoditelja te unapređenje njihovih vještina, zajedničko sudjelovanje na međunarodnim sajmovima knjiga, književnim festivalima i drugim forumima, organizaciju većih projekata, konferencija i radionica. LAF želi potaknuti interkulturalni dijalog kroz književnost i prijevode unutar Europske unije te u susjednim zemljama i u mediteranskoj regiji. LAF olakšava pristup manje poznatim književnostima, pogotovo onima na manje rasprostranjenim europskim jezicima, te književnostima koje nisu dovoljno predstavljene na međunarodnoj sceni, i time potiče veću raznovrsnost međunarodnih književnih događanja i objavljivanje književnosti za sve uzraste. Također se bavi razvojem inovativnih pristupa književnoj kreativnosti, promocijom i potporom prevođenju kao i osposobljavanjem književnih prevoditelja za jezike koji se rjeđe koriste. LAF djeluje kao katalizator novih multilateralnih kontakata, suradnji i inovativnih projekata koji dovode književnost u interakciju s drugim formama umjetničkog izraza te istražuju socijalnu i političku ulogu pisanja.

Literature Across Frontiers (LAF) is the European platform for literary exchange, a program of initiatives and a network of partner organizations whose goal is to improve and expand European cultural exchange in the field of literature and translation through multilateral cooperation encompassing cultural policy research as well as publications, translator training and skills development, joint participation in international book fairs, literature festivals and other forums, organization of larger-scale projects, as well as conferences, seminars and workshops. LAF wishes to foster intercultural dialogue through literature and translation within the EU, its neighbors and the Mediterranean countries.

LAF’s activities allow access to lesser-known literatures, particularly those written in the less widely used languages of Europe and those underrepresented in the international arena; and by doing so it encourages greater diversity in international literary events and in the publishing of literature for all age groups. It also works on the development of innovative approaches to literary creation, promotion, support for translation and training of literary translators working in less widely used languages. LAF acts as a catalyst for new multilateral contacts, collaborations and innovative projects bringing literature into interaction with other forms of artistic expression and exploring the social and political role of writing.

Prozas lasījumi i Međunarodna kuća pisaca i prevoditelja U poticanju književnog stvaranja ove nam se godine pridružuju i projekti iz Latvije s kojima dijelimo viziju razmjene kao ključnog uvjeta za razvoj književnosti. Prozas lasījumi (Prozna čitanja) festival je na kojem latvijski i inozemni pisci predstavljaju i pred publikom testiraju svoja najsvježija, još neobjavljena djela. Međunarodna kuća pisaca i

prevoditelja u jednom od najatraktivnijih baltičkih gradova, Ventspilsu, ugošćuje one kojima je pravi dom jezik, preko rezidencijalnih programa i stipendija omogućava im ekskluzivno vrijeme za kreativni rad te promiče međukulturni dijalog i afirmaciju autora izvan granica njihovih matičnih književnosti. Dvotjedni boravak u Latviji prva je nagrada ovogodišnjeg FEKP-ova natječaja za kratku priču, čime se učvršćuje književna veza između latvijskih prijatelja i našega festivala.

Prozas lasījumi and International Writers’ and Translators’ House In our quest for promoting literary creation, this year we are joined by two Latvian projects with which we share the vision of exchange as the key condition for the development of literature. Prozas lasījumi (Prose Readings) is an annual festival during which Latvian writers and their foreign guests present their most recent, yet unpublished works and test it in front of an audience. International Writers’ and Translators’ House in Ventspils, one of the most beautiful cities on the Baltic, hosts those whose real home is language. The residency programs and stipends offer an exclusive time for creative literary work and advocate intercultural dialog and author’s affirmation outside of their home literatures. A two-week residency in Latvia is the first prize of FESS’s short story competition and a step toward a firmer literary connection between our Latvian friends and our festival.

Kultura promjene Od 2005. godine Studentski centar razvija novu koncepciju kulturnih programa pod nazivom Kultura promjene, slijedeći tako samu bit SC-a kao kulturnog i društvenog središta studenata obilježenog smjenama generacija i njihovih interesa. Kroz glazbeni (Muzički salon), likovni (Galerija SC), kazališni (Teatar &TD), filmski (Kino SC i MM centar) i radijski sektor, Kultura promjene ostvaruje niz zanimljivih projekata, radionica, koncerata, festivala, u kojima posjetitelji mogu uživati tijekom cijeloga tjedna. S ciljem aktivnog i sustavnog uključivanja studenata u kreiranje programa u prostorima SC-a, tijekom cijele godine otvoren je Non-stop natječaj na koji studenti, studentske udruge, udruge koje promoviraju urbanu i kulturu mladih mogu prijaviti edukativne, multidisciplinarne, multimedijalne i progresivne projekte. Svi prihvaćeni projekti besplatno dobivaju prostor za realizaciju svojega programa, tehničku pomoć te organizacijsku pomoć djelatnika Kulture promjene. Na taj su način u SC-u održani Festival doživljaj, festival indijske kulture Put do Indije, festival popularne književnosti Kliker! i još mnogo toga.

The Culture of Change

Since 2005, Student Center Zagreb develops a new conception of the cultural program called the Culture of Change, which follows the main activity of the center as a central point of student cultural and social life characterized by the change of generations and their interests. Within its music (Music Salon), visual arts (Gallery SC), theatre (Theatre &TD), film (Cinema SC and Multimedia Centre) and radio programs, the Culture of Change organizes a number of projects, workshops, concerts and festivals open to visitors every day of the week. Its goal being an active and systematic incorporation of students into the creation of programs within the Student Centre, it features a Non-Stop Competition open throughout the year, to which students, student organizations, organizations promoting urban and youth culture apply with educative, multidiscipline, multimedia and progressive projects.

Ogranak Matice hrvatske u Šibeniku

Matica hrvatska utemeljena je 1842. u svrhu promicanja nacionalnog i kulturnog identiteta u područjima umjetničkog, znanstvenog i duhovnog stvaralaštva. Jedan je od najvećih nakladnika u Hrvatskoj te priređuje brojna kulturna i znanstvena događanja. Iako je ogranak Matice hrvatske u Šibeniku službeno osnovan 1962. godine, u spomen-knjizi Matica hrvatska 1842–1892 navodi se kako su povjerenici Matice u Šibeniku djelovali već 1878. U okviru djelatnosti koje se odvijaju u devet odjela s ukupno 186 članova, ogranak Matice hrvatske u Šibeniku svojim je stalnim javnim angažmanom prisutan u kulturnom životu grada Šibenika, ali i na prostoru Šibensko-kninske županije, pa i šire. U okviru Ogranka organiziraju se predavanja, tribine, izložbe, književne večeri i predstavljanja Matičinih izdanja.

Matica hrvatska – Šibenik Branch Matica hrvatska was founded in 1842 with the commitment to promoting national and cultural identity in the fields of artistic, scientific and spiritual creativity. Today it is one of the largest publishers in Croatia and it organizes various cultural and academic events.

Even though the Šibenik branch of Matica hrvatska was officially founded in 1962, the memorial book Matica hrvatska 1842-1892 notes that the activities of its commissioners in Šibenik date back to 1878. Through its public engagement, the Šibenik branch of Matica hrvatska, with its nine departments and 186 members, is present in the cultural life of the City of Šibenik as well as the wider area of Šibenik-Knin County. The Šibenik branch organizes lectures, public debates, art exhibitions, readings and evenings of poetry as well as presentations and promotions of Matica’s publications.

Vidikovac Zagreb Eye Smješten u Ilici 1a, na šesnaestom katu nebodera u samome srcu glavnoga hrvatskoga grada, Zagreb Eye pruža jedinstven i nezaboravan panoramski pogled na Trg bana Jelačića, Kaptol, Gradec, Gornji i Donji grad te najvažnije kulturno-povijesne građevine Zagreba, njegove trgove, ulice i parkove . Zagrebački neboder na kojem je smješten vidikovac sagrađen je 1959. i u to je vrijeme bio najviša i najmodernija zgrada u Jugoslaviji. Stari je vidikovac zatvoren krajem 1980-ih, a nakon rekonstrukcije za građane je ponovno otvoren 2008. godine. Uz natkrivenu terasu, s koje se pruža čaroban pogled na glavni grad, središnji dio vidikovca čini ostakljeni prostor površine 200 m 2 namijenjen raznorodnim promocijama i manifestacijama. Vidikovac je dostupan posjetiteljima 365 dana u godini, neovisno o godišnjem dobu i vremenskim uvjetima.

Zagreb Eye Observatory Located at Ilica 1a, on the sixteenth floor of the skyscraper in the very heart of the city, Zagreb EYE offers a unique and unforgetable panorama of Ban Jelačić Square, Kaptol, Gradec, Gornji grad and Donji grad, as well as the most important cultural and historical buildings of Zagreb, its squares, streets and parks. The Zagreb Skyscraper was built in 1959

and at the time it was the tallest and the most modern building in Yugoslavia. The old observatory was closed by the end of the 1980s, and it reopened to public in 2008 after an extensive reconstruction. Besides the covered terrace offering a magical view of Croatia’s capital, the central part of the observatory consists of a glassed-in space used for promotion of various destinations, products and brands. The observatory is open to visitors 365 days a year, regardless of season and weather conditions.

7. Organizator / Organizer Hrvatsko društvo pisaca (HDP)

Hrvatsko društvo pisaca (HDP) u deset godina svojega postojanja izraslo je u jednu od vodećih umjetničkih udruga u Hrvatskoj, promovirajući ponajbolju hrvatsku književnost u regiji i svijetu. Svake je godine u porastu broj programa koji se ostvaruje u okviru Hrvatskog društva pisaca. U 2014. godini HDP će realizirati više od 50 programa, što uključuje pet uglednih časopisa, nekoliko međunarodnih književnih festivala (uz FEKP, tu su Stih u regiji i Književnost uživo), međunarodne razmjene pisaca, tribine, nakladničku djelatnost, književno-znanstvene simpozije i drugo. Između ostalog, HDP objavljuje “Poeziju”, jedini časopis u Hrvatskoj posvećen isključivo poeziji, prepoznat i cijenjen i izvan zemlje, “Europski glasnik”, jedan od najprominentnijih kulturnih časopisa u Hrvatskoj, časopis “Relations” koji donosi prijevode hrvatskih pisaca na engleski, njemački, francuski i druge svjetske jezike. U protekle tri godine u izdanju HDP-a izašlo je pedesetak knjiga, a tome treba pribrojiti male dvojezične edicije (tzv. chapbooks) kakvih festival Književnost uživo (u suradnji s hrvatskim PEN-om) godišnje objavi 25 do 30. HDP ostvaruje plodonosnu redovitu međunarodnu suradnju, prvenstveno s europskim zemljama, ali i s azijskima, poput Kine, Indije, Japana, u obliku programa razmjene pisaca te pojedinačnih projekata.

Croatian Writers’ Society In ten years of its existence Croatian Writers’ Society (HDP) grew into one of the leading arts organizations in Croatia that promotes the best of Croatian literature in the region and beyond. The number of programs realized within Croatian Writers Association increases on a yearly basis and in 2014 HDP will participate in more than 50 different programs, including five acclaimed magazines, several international festivals of literature (besides FESS, there is Stih u regiji and Književnost uživo – Literature Live), international exchange of writers, public talks, publishing activities, literature symposiums, etc. Among other things, HDP publishes Poezija, the only literary journal in Croatia dedicated exclusively to poetry, recognized and appreciated even outside Croatia, Europski glasnik, one of the most prominent magazines for culture in Croatia, Relations, a magazine featuring translations of Croatian writers into English, German, French and other world languages. In the past three years, HDP published more than fifty books and small bilingual editions (chapbooks). Književnost uživo – Literature Live Festival (in collaboration with Croatian PEN Center) publishes around 30 of such chapbooks every year. HDP has a prolific international cooperation, first and foremost with European, but also Asian countries, such as China, India, Japan, especially when it comes to writers’ exchange programs and individual projects.

8. Grad partner / Partner city Šibenik, grad priča Tvrđave.

Zidine.

Bitke.

Iliri. Templari. Mlećani. Turci.

Glave na katedrali.

Kuga.

Spaljene vještice i jedan kralj. Šibenik je, dakle, odavno popunio sva obvezna prazna polja u obrascu za punopravni pristup među gradove Europe. Prvi se put javno spominje na Božić 1066. godine, a zadnji put 2013. u izvješćima o nastupu Prodigyja na Terraneu. Tu su Hrvati prvi put ugledali more i ostali gotovo cijelo tisućljeće prije povratka u Zagreb.

U međuvremenu se plovilo, ribarilo, trgovalo, ratovalo. Izumio se padobran i pisalo na latinici prije ikog drugog. Zabijalo se koševe na Baldekinu, izgradilo kazalište od novca bogatih građana, a usred grada uzdignuta je i knjižnica. U Šibeniku je Europa prvi put vidjela kako izgleda električna energija, taj spasonosni pokretač aparata za espresso i playstationa. Ekološka je svijest, također, tu odavno usađena – sve je manje tvornica koje bi trovale okoliš.

U Šibeniku svaka ulica ima klapu, svaka ulica ima slikara, pjesnika, boema, funcuta, nezaposlenog. Svaka ulica ima i svoj festival. Jazz, blues, rock, punk, indie i susjed koji u ponoć i minutu zove policiju. Ulice umjetnika, ulice kulture. Ulice dobro skrivenih talenata i neotkrivenih genijalaca. Šibenik, jedna duga priča. Ili mnogo kratkih...

Marko Podrug

Šibenik, The City of Stories Bastions.

Walls.

Battles.

Illyrians. Templars. Venetians. Ottoman Turks.

Heads on the cathedral.

Plague.

Witches in flames and one king. Šibenik had long ago filled out all the mandatory empty fields on the form granting it full membership among the cities of Europe. Its first public mention dates back to Christmas of 1066, and the last to 2013 and reports of Prodigy’s performance at Terraneo Festival. This is the place where the Croats first laid eyes on the sea and stayed there for almost a whole millennium before going back to Zagreb.

In the meantime, people sailed, fished, traded, waged wars. The parachute was invented and Latin script used before anywhere else. Baskets were scored at Baldekin, a theatre was built from the money of wealthy citizens, and in the middle of the city a library was erected. Šibenik was the place where Europe first saw what electric energy looked like, that lifesaving driving force of espresso machines and Playstation consoles. Ecological consciousness was also planted here a long time ago – there are fewer and fewer factories that could pollute the environment.

In Šibenik every street has a klapa, every street has a painter, a poet, a bohemian, a funcut, an unemployed person. Every street has its own festival too. Jazz, blues, rock, punk, indie, and a neighbor who calls the police one minute past midnight. Streets of artists, streets of culture. Streets of well-hidden talents and undiscovered geniuses. Šibenik, one long story. Or many short ones...
