Dear friends,
It’s been a little while since we last shared what we’ve been working on at Paris.Camp.
Over the past few months, several exciting projects have quietly taken shape, and today we’re happy to tell you about one of them.
Following the publication of our first book in partnership with YMCA-Press, we’ve begun work on our second — a new collection by the wonderful poet Dmitry Vedenyapin.
Just a few days ago, we completed filming a two-hour cinematic walk through a summer Paris with Dmitry Vedenyapin and Dmitry Makarov. The film is now in post-production.
In September, we’ll premiere it at EICAR Cinema in Paris to coincide with the publication of the book.
A few days later, we’ll travel to Prague for the international book fair “Prague Tower,” where Dmitry Vedenyapin, Dmitry Makarov, Melania Struve of YMCA-Press, and the Paris.Camp team will present the book together.
Like many Paris.Camp projects, this one came together very naturally — through friendship, conversations about literature, long walks around Paris, and the simple desire to create something beautiful with people we genuinely admire.
We hope the book will find many new readers, and that the film will preserve some of the conversations, ideas and moments that inspired it.
If what we do resonates with you and you’d like to help make this project happen, we’d be truly grateful.
To bring our small delegation to Prague, organize the book launch and the events surrounding it, we need to raise €3,000.
And we already have some wonderful news.
One of our friends has become the project’s very first patron with a contribution of €1,000.
Thank you! ❤️
That means we’re already one-third of the way there, with €2,000 left to raise.
As a small token of our gratitude, we’ve prepared a few ways to thank our supporters:
€50 — Your name will appear on the Paris.Camp website and in the film’s closing credits.
€100 — A signed copy of the book by Dmitry Vedenyapin, together with our heartfelt thanks.
€250 — An invitation to the Paris premiere of the film and the official launch of the book.
€500 — An opportunity to meet the authors and the project team in Paris or Prague.
€1,000 and above — Recognition as an Official Patron of the project, with a special acknowledgement in the book, the film and other project materials.
If you’d like to join us on this journey, simply send us a message or get in touch by email. We’ll be sharing all the details about how to support the project over the coming days.
There’s one more reason why this project means so much to us.
We hope it will become part of a long-term model for Paris.Camp.
A portion of the proceeds from every book sold will be reinvested into the SAVVA token ecosystem, helping fund future token issuances and supporting new cultural initiatives.
Our hope is that, over time, each project will help make the next one possible.
By supporting this book today, you’re also helping future books, films, exhibitions and educational projects come to life.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Quite simply, none of this would exist without you.
Igor & the Paris.Camp Team ❤️
