 Pontes 2000 - National Literatures in Europe at the End of Millennium

Bart FM Droog is an old cat in Amsterdam poetry. He made the innocent audience at the Kamplin square jump into his poem: the left side of the audience was screaming
like seagulls, and the right side was moaning like sheep.
Above Krk, the running stars.


Pontes 2000 took place in Krk, August 21 - 30, 2000

Central topic: National Literatures in Europe at the End of Millennium

From right to the left: His Excellency Nenad Veličković - Pontes Ambassador in Sarajevo, Honorable Muharem Bazdulj - Cultural Attaché in Sarajevo, and Boriša Gavrilović - Most Cherished Among Us - Transportation Adviser of the Embassy in Sarajevo.
Just one of many disscussions in a closed Night Bar of the hotel.
The Books and the Beauty. Danijela and Mihaela are on the left side.
Some boring talks before the performance of Poets der Epibreren and Wehwalt Koslovsky. Watch out for the Lap Top Translation Assistant in the second seat from the left.
You should try this!
Jan Klug is making music and Tjitse Hofman is... what? Recitating? And in the back one can spot the eventful Bart FM Droog.
Dodovski is watching carefully (note the Pontes 98 T-shirt he is wearing!). Dunja is a little bit sleepy. Aljoša's head is somehow thiner than it used to be (maybe he slept in a strange position). And Wehwalt is veeeery interested in Aljoša's words.
These are Poets der Epibreren. They perform. And their heads fall if they do not support them with the left hand.
Slađana Bukovac was Pontes participant, but now she is working for Croatian Television. She likes laughing, and despites the negative energy. Bistra is laughing,  and so is Ostoja. Something was going on there.
Ladies and gentleman! Let me introduce you backvocals of the Poets der Epibreren: Little Eary Sighing Monsters! Beware people! Just look how Bart and Tjitse are afraid of them!
Yeah. This is Zhel. He sings and playes instruments and directs movies and video clips and lives mostly in London and he was in Krk for a short time...
Oh! But we know this guy from the previous photo. Isn't he Zhel which sings and plays instruments and directs movies and video clips and...
Yeah! This is really charming. They were the stars. Milena and Leona, and Wehwalt - Meister of the Ceremony. The Night of Poetry.
Late hours. Watch out for the left low corner. Do you find something strange there?
Poets der Epibreren again. Bart thinks that he looks like a girl from Flashdancing. We didn't tell him.
The Sinner and a two Devils. A postmodern ready-made.
Lidija is completely unaware that she is to become a photo model.
So you are smiling? Like a midnight smokers?
Do not be afraid. Nothing is wrong. That is how Jan Klug makes music. We were surprised, too.
And these are hotel rooms. I am joking of course, but who knows, maybe next year we will be rich enough to search for such accomodation.
Who the hell took these photos?
This is not a postcard. This is not a country club either. This is Krk's Cathedral. And a few clouds on a blue blue sky.
Jan Klug again. Did I miss something?
Bart is trying to make people voice like sheep or sea gulls. He was astonished with Slovenian sheep. One can still see surprise in his eyes.
Wehwalt is looking for jury for Night of Poetry. Look how empty the chair in front of him are.
Girls with the left and boys with the right. But, that is not what worries me. Why everyone has to support the head not to fall asleep?
I don't know! Don't ask me, I am just passing by.
Now, this is how delighted Italian looks like!
Three ladies from the organizing board. Danijela, Dunja and Milena. Don't we look fine? Would you like to work with us? We are open for new ideas.
And Igor is open for new ideas. Anyhow.
Tvrtko and Peter. They were just passing by. They came and asked if they could play the violins on the Night of Poetry. We said "No problem". So here they are.
And Tvrtko by himself.
Lidija Dimkovska in a beautiful dress. Reading her poetry. And there is another microphone?
Ivan Dodovski just caught an NLO. Or, is it just blur trace of cllaping hands. We'll never know for sure.
Roberto is reading again. I really do not understand why this photographer likes so much Jan and Roberto.
This was fun. You should've been there.
And now Jelena and Peter.
This is a puf paf guy. He came and went. Igor Rajki. Bestseller of the fair was his book.
Just look at our scene!
