For the seventh year in Kranj, the Interline Literary festival brings diverse meetings with authors, talks, workshops, literary performances and many other events that put the book in dialogue with Society, art and everyday life.
This year's festival slogan Back to reality raises questions about reality as it opens before us in a time defined by algorithms, artificial intelligence and a fast pace of life in which it too often seems impossible to really be in the here and now. What alternative forms of reality we resort to and what the consequences are are just two of the many questions that festival events will try to raise through numerous activities and guests.
Among them will be Ana Svetlovni, Vladimir Arsenijevi/, Radmila Petrovi / and Iza Strehar, and with the first day of the festival , The Poetry Competition back to reality will open, intended for everyone who writes poetry and in any way thematizes their own or wider social reality.

Literarni festival Medvrsticami že sedmo leto v Kranj prinaša raznolika srečanja z avtorji, pogovore, delavnice, literarne performanse in številne druge dogodke, ki knjigo postavljajo v dialog z družbo, umetnostjo in vsakdanjim življenjem.
Letošnji festivalski slogan Nazaj v realnost odpira predvsem vprašanja o stvarnosti, kakršna se pred nami odpira v času, ki ga definirajo algoritmi, umetna inteligenca in hiter življenjski tempo, v katerem se prepogosto zdi nemogoče zares biti tukaj in zdaj. V katere alternativne oblike realnosti se zatekamo in kakšne so posledice, sta le dve od mnogih vprašanj, ki jih bodo festivalski dogodki skušali načeti s številnimi aktivnostmi in gosti.
Med njimi bodo Ana Svetel, Vladimir Arsenijević, Radmila Petrović in Iza Strehar, s prvim festivalskim dnem pa se bo odprl tudi pesniški natečaj Nazaj v realnost , namenjen vsem, ki pišete poezijo in v njej na kakršenkoli način tematizirate svojo ali širšo družbeno realnost.
