Kikinda Short
Hi Space Invaders (Stefanie’s phrase, which I loved),
I had to go straight to the other side of Wales to teach for a few days and was without internet connection so it’s taken me until now to say thank you for your company and a fantastic week. I’m sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye properly to you all on the last night in Belgrade, but no goodbye means soon hello, so a Croatian told me once.
Suffice to say my door is open should any of you find yourselves in Wales. Hope to see you all again some place, some time, and I’ll find some of you on Facebook now I’m sure.

Dear kikinders:
When writing, my highest aim is to hide in the books the same miracles I have witnessed these Kikinda Short time with you all. Getting to know the fact that people like you exist, the fact that you can write days like these in Serbia, makes me believe in some kind of existential hope: there are a lot of good things waiting to happen in Europe (and I don’t only mean finishing all the bear of the continent or dancing kalashnikov on the top of vehicles in motion). What can I say that I have not said? I was absolutely fulfilled by your meaningful company, by the intelligence of your hearts, by this continious, delicate and wild celebration of literature and life.
I am now fulfilled with a thankfulness that looks at you all. Life can be wonderful!
Thanks, love and hugs,
Carles

2012. július 13. péntek | Idén hetedik alkalommal szervezték meg a Kikinda Short nemzetközi irodalmi fesztivált, melyre minden évben tucatnyi ország rövidpróza-szerzőit hívják meg, hogy egymással ismerkedjenek, illetve hogy fellépjenek a felolvasóesteken. A fesztivál két helyszínen, Nagykikindán és Belgrádban zajlik, hagyományosan nyár közepén. A 7. Kikinda Shorton 12 ország 21 szerzője között jómagam is jelen voltam, ezért az alábbi beszámolóban nem a mindentudó elbeszélő, hanem a kevésbé fegyelmezett szereplő fog megszólalni.

Belgrade, July 7th | The panel at the Cultural Center of Belgrade, organized in the framework of the seventh Kikinda Short Festival, brings organizers and editors of literary festivals in Serbia and the region analyzing the following topics:
Are there too many or too little literary festivals? What is their role in the popularization of literature? Do you have cross-competition or opportunities for cooperation? How do you measure the importance and impact of a festival? How much is the importance of a festival influenced by the fact who was the organizer, official institutions or NGOs? How do financial supporters respond to the current number of the festivals? What is specifically to be done to avoid overlaps in terms and authors? Is there a possibility of a joint applications for EU funds?
Participants: Gojko Bozovic (Archipelago), Vladimir Arsenijevic (crocodile), Rose Marjanovic (Halfway), Dejan Matic (Third Square), Roland Orčik (Sinobusi Festival, Szeged) and Srdjan Papic (Kikinda Short)
