Filmfestival: Poetry + Video

Poetry + Video is a program of video poems from around the world. An hour-long collection, it surveys diverse contemporary expressions of this hybrid form. A wide range of approaches includes: screen adaptations of page poetry, prose poetry, videos from found text and media, animations, poetic cinema, text-on-screen, and spoken word. Video poetry is a genre of film-making with origins reaching far back into cinema history, especially within the areas of the experimental and avant garde. Beyond this, it is a modern manifestation of poetry itself, which began in ancient time as an oral form, and has been adapting and evolving with new technologies ever since.
