History


Formed in 1997 as a small informal Trekkie club, steadily growing in numbers, which warranted its chartering as a NGO in 2002. In 2003, the filming crew of "Trekkies 2" documentary visited Serbia to film Star Trek fans. Fans from several Balkan states converged to Novi Sad to attend the first-ever Star Trek convention in this part of the world, "TREK>NS", organized by Photon Tide. Denise Crosby of ST:TNG fame, star and narrator of "Trekkies 2", was the special guest of this convention.


In 2006, Photon Tide was included in the program of the Exit music festival, co-hosting the special "Supernova" stage with "Lazar Komarcic" fiction fan club from Belgrade, Serbia. The stage program was devoted to science fiction
in Serbia. Photon Tide also took part in the final tournament of World Cyber Games 2006 in Belgrade, holding a stand along with several other Serbian science fiction societies.



Activities


The society publishes its fanzine "Nova" as an insert to the monthly
science magazine "Astronomija" (Astronomy), reaching readers in Serbia and
other former Yugoslav republics. The Photon Tide website (in Serbian) is a
source of science fiction news in Serbian, and its bulletins are being
syndicated by several news aggregator websites. A science fiction workshop is in development,
aimed to provide means for creative teamwork of talented people, creating
their own science-fiction-themed comics, animations, amateur movies, short
stories and radio dramas.


There are also somewhat regular get-togethers and outdoor activities, either
open-attendance or organized exclusively for the Photon Tide members, which
take place all over Serbia. Aside from online communication, open fan
meetings are the most persistent form of organized effort, taking place
since the society's inception in 1997. They are most frequent in Novi Sad
and Belgrade, where the majority of members are located.
