The exotic meeting Posted by on Oct 12, 2011

A little while ago, Judith Meyer organized an event in Berlin somewhat similar to my meeting: Urba Semajnfino (City Weekend). Find out what’s different in her meeting from mine in her own words.

Esperanto Film Festival to attract amateur authors Posted by on Apr 7, 2011

Esperanto culture mostly lives in the world of text. Attempts to professionally produce Esperanto audiovisual and television materials haven’t really had much success so far. Copyright limitations also hinder the production of Esperanto versions of already existing content. However, in principle, modern technology levels the playing field, giving everyone the chance to produce their own…

Five Periods of Esperanto Literature Posted by on Feb 25, 2011

When I lived in Rotterdam, I remember taking the trip to visit the Internacia Esperanto-Instituto for an Esperanto literature seminar. It was most helpful for recognizing important authors, but when I think back on that seminar, I remember being impressed by how Esperanto literature can be divided into different periods based on different styles of…
