Predstavljanje Kikinda Shorta u Somboru


Kikinda short – The end of the long tour!

U proteklih mesec dana festival kratke priče Kikinda Short je uz podršku Fondacije Hajnrih Bel obišao nekoliko gradova u Srbiji. Nakon Kikinde, Zrenjanina i Pančeva, festival je predstavljen u Beogradu, Novom Sadu, Kragujevcu dok je za završetak akcije planiran Sombor.

- Cilj ove turneje je da upoznamo zainteresovane sa rezultatima koje smo postigli za pet godina koliko postojimo. – kaže Srđan Papić, koordinator projekta.

- 2005. smo imali devetoro gostiju iz četiri zemlje, a ovog leta će ih biti preko četrdesetoro iz 18 država.- nastavlja Papić. - Siguran sam da smo napravili ogroman uspeh. Ove godine smo imali specijalan nastup na Sajmu knjiga u Lajpcigu, kontaktiraju nas urednici čuvenih izdavačkih kuća kao što su Blumzberi ili Fejber i Fejber i traže da dovedemo njihove autore. Pisci koji su osvojili najprestižnije nagrade kao što su Gardijanova ili Nagrada Samerset Mom, odmah pronalaze termin da dođu u Kikindu iako je uobičajeno da se ljudi sa takvim biografijama bukiraju godinama unapred. Takvih primera ima još mnogo Sa ovom turnejom želimo da odemo korak dalje. Planiramo da kod nas razvijemo ono što se zove kulturni turizam. Namera nam je da na festival doputuje publika iz drugih gradova jer je prilika da se uživo čuju ovako dobri pisci zaista retka. – završava Srđan Papić

Neposredan povod za gostovanje je izlazak četvrte festivalske knjige. Knjiga je štampana obostrano, s jedne strane su premijerno objavljene priče učesnika poslednjeg festivala dok se sa druge nalaze zapisi pripadnika rokenrol miljea u Srbiji. Uz knjigu ide i film snimljen na prošlogodišnjem festivalu.

Više o knjizi govori Srđan Srdić, urednik festivala Kikinda Short:

- Za knjigu sa pričama učesnika četvrtog izdanja festivala KIKINDA SHORT vlada izuzetno interesovanje. Očigledno je da smo uspeli da na najbolji način odgovorimo očekivanjima publike naklonjene kratkoj proznoj formi. Na jednom mestu su sabrani različiti, ponekad čak i suprotstavljeni senzibiliteti, pripovedački stavovi, kao i najraznovrsnije mogućnosti koje kratka priča u sebe uključuje. Dokumentarni film snimljen tokom prošlogodišnjeg festivala izaziva veoma emotivne reakcije onih koji su pratili nastupe autora u Kikindi i Beogradu, ali i vidljivu znatiželju onih koji nisu. Nadamo se da, nakon iskustva čitanja knjige, ovi drugi takav propust neće ponovo napraviti. – ističe Srdić.

Promocija u Somboru je zakazana za 4. jun. Jasmina Vrbavac, Mirjana Đurđević i organizatori će se nastupiti u Kulturnom centru u 19h.

Izdavanje knjige je finansirala Fondacija Hajnrih Bel a kofinansijer je Pokrajinski sekretarijat za kulturu.

Hrvatski kulturno-turistički projekt Brod knjižara-Brod kulture priopćio je kako ove godine po prvi puta raspisuje natječaj za najbolju kratku priču, koji započinje 26. travnja i traje do 31. svibnja.

Priča koja se šalje na natječaj, mora biti dugačka od četiri do deset kartica teksta, a glavna nagrada je objava priče u Zbirci, tjedan dana plovidbe i promocija na turneji Broda knjižare.

Sve pristigle radove pregledat će žiri koji čine glumac i književnik Enes Kišević te književnik, profesor, scenarist i kolumnist Ludwig Bauer. Oni će, zajedno s organizatorom projekta i managerom u kulturi Igorom Gerenčerom, odabrati pobjednika i još devet najboljih radova.

Svih 10 radova biti će objavljeno u zajedničkoj Zbirci. I dok će prvonagrađeni imati priliku sudjelovati na ovogodišnjoj turneji i plovidbi Brodom knjižarom, gdje će promovirati Zbirku, za ostalih devet autora čije će priče također biti objavljene u Zbirci, organizirat će se jednodnevno gostovanje, promocija i potpisivanje Zbirke na turneji Broda-knjižare.

Svi radovi mogu se slati na adresu: brod.prica@gmail.com. Objava pobjednika kratke priče biti će u lipnju 2010. godine.

Potporu natječaju za najbolju kratku proču u sklopu ovogodišnje turneje Broda kulture 'Brod knjižara', dalo je i Ministarstvo kulture, navodi organizator projekta 'Brod knjižara' Igor Gerenčer.

Brod knjižara svojim bogatim kulturnim sadržajem promiče kulturu čitanja i pisanja, okupljajući na svojim turnejama brojna uvažena imena hrvatske književne scene. Samo u posljednje dvije godine preko palube Broda knjižare gostovalo je oko osamdesetak hrvatskih književnika, pjesnika i publicista.

Radionica će trajati od 15. juna do 1. avgusta 2010. i održavaće se jedanput nedeljno u prostorijama Klupčeta.
