Standard Chartered Commercial. About. “Film, I believe, lends itself particularly to the poetic statement, because it is essentially a montage and, therefore, seems by its very nature to be a poetic medium.”

About the content My main focus here is on videopoetry, “a genre of poetry displayed on a screen, distinguished by its time-based, poetic juxtaposition of text with images and sound,” as videopoetry pioneer Tom Konyves puts it. I sometimes produce videos for Moving Poems, but otherwise everything here is someone else’s work, available for embedding without any special permission needed at YouTube, Vimeo, Blip.tv, VideoPress and other sites.
Literaturwerkstatt.org. A Brief Introduction to Film Poetry - The Writing Platform. Firstly, what are poetry films?
One thing they are not (although they can be) is films of people reading or reciting poetry. Confused? Even the name of the genre is disputed. Poetry films appear under different guises as ‘poetryfilms’, ‘filmpoems, ‘video poems’, ‘multimedia poetry’, ‘e-poetry’ and ‘screen poetry’. Broadly speaking they are a combining of poetry/words, displayed as text or spoken, with accompanying images and viewed on a screen. The largest gathering of this dedicated crew is the Zebra poetry film festival held bi-annually in Berlin. More than a thousand poets/film makers send material to this festival which has three days of film screenings. Canada hosts a film poetry festival, Visible Verse, created by Heather Hayley and there is a long standing one in Argentina, Video Bardo. In the UK there are new festivals emerging. So what do you want to do if you want to create a poetry film?
