<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thirteenth edition of the KROKODIL literary festival will be held in Belgrade from August 26 until August 29 under the symbolic title BORDERS VS. FRONTIERS. This year, in the specific atmosphere of the now long-lasting Covid-19 pandemic, when the rules are no longer clear to anyone, the KROKODIL festival puts in a dialectical relationship the borders that hold us back in place with the frontiers that we can reach and are there for us to constantly move them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So today, at a time when we know more about ourselves and where we as a species are going than ever before, but when at the same time our confidence in the ability to preserve the human race and the world that we inhabit together with other species is at its lowest point ever, it is precisely this dilemma – what are, ultimately,  our ingrained, unescapable limitations and what are the furthest reaches of  our capabilities?<\/strong> \u2013 that is of particular importance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borders vs. Frontiers<\/strong>, then.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across four festival days (Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday), a top selection of local, regional and international authors will be presented at the amphitheater in front of the Museum of Yugoslavia, at the Center for Cultural Decontamination and at the Yugoslav Film Archive. The audience will have a chance to enjoy readings, conversations, sofa interviews, meetings with journalists and the audience, book signings, panel discussion programs, debates, promotions, screenings<\/strong> etc. All festival programs will be free of charge for the audience present at the venues<\/strong> and open to the public, while there will be ONLINE tickets<\/strong> available via the internet platform entrio.si for the LIVESTREAM of the evening program in front of the Museum of Yugoslavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grand opening of the festival is scheduled for Thursday, August 26 at 8 pm<\/strong> at the amphitheater in front of the Museum of Yugoslavia, when two writers who are certainly among the most important British and global authors of today – Irvine Welsh<\/strong> and Hanif Kureishi<\/strong> – will present themselves to the audience in a conversation with Mima Simi\u0107<\/strong> and Galeb Nika\u010devi\u0107<\/strong>, but also by reading excerpts from their work. The conversations will be held in English, and simultaneous translation will be provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the second evening of the festival, on Friday, August 27, at 8 pm<\/strong>, at the same place, we will present Igor \u0160tiks<\/strong>, Ognjenka Laki\u0107evi\u0107<\/strong>, Ana Milo\u0161<\/strong>, Damir Karaka\u0161<\/strong> and Elvedin Nezirovi\u0107<\/strong> while Aleksandar Hemon<\/strong> will participate in the program online from his home in Princeton, USA. A special segment of this evening will be dedicated to the memory of the tragically deceased and regionally beloved writer Bekim Sejranovi\u0107<\/strong>.
