The Netherlands\u2019 first story machine will be going into service at the start of the ILFU literature festival on 24 September, offering a range of short stories by authors such as Remco Campert, Manon Uphoff, L\u00e9vi Weemoedt, Herman Koch, A.L. Snijders, Esther Gerritsen and Maarten Biesheuvel. The stories are provided free of charge. During the ILFU the story machine will be installed at a new location in Utrecht each day; the festival organisers hope that other cities in the Netherlands will soon be following suit.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Film director and caf\u00e9 owner Francis Ford Coppola was one of the people to launch the machine. Coppola recounts: \u201cI liked the idea of a vending machine in my caf\u00e9, a dispensing machine that doesn\u2019t dispense potato chips or beer or coffee for money but gives you art. I especially liked the fact that you didn\u2019t put money in it. I\u2019d like to see our city put them everywhere so that while waiting for a bus, or marriage license, or lunch, you could get an artistic lift free of charge.\u201d The French start-up Short Editions responded to Coppola\u2019s wish and developed a machine that prints out a short story from world literature in a few seconds. Today there are around 300 of these machines at train stations, airports, in libraries and schools all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now the ILFU is bringing the machine to the Netherlands. Festival director Micha\u00ebl Stoker takes up the thread: \u201cThis year, the ILFU\u2019s motto is \u2018We need stories\u2019. A short story can move you, or get you thinking, in the space of a few minutes. Ideal for when you\u2019re out and about. The story machine is a great way of surprising people with literature in unexpected places. And for once not on a screen, but on good old-fashioned paper.\u201d The stories are printed using an inkless method on biologically degradable paper, thus keeping the environmental burden to a minimum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">During the ILFU the machine will be touring through Utrecht, after which it will be located at TivoliVredenburg for a longer period; it may also be featured at other festivals and events. Libraries, venues, schools or transport companies which would also like a story machine permanently installed at their location can contact Micha\u00ebl Stoker at <span class=\"s2\">verhalen<\/span><span class=\"s2\">machine[at]ilfu.com<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A hot snack from the wall, some cash from the ATM, a bar of chocolate from the vending machine \u2013 and soon you\u2019ll be able to get a short story&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":12829,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1488],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","odd"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
