PoetryFilm is run by Malgorzata Kitowski. It is the UK's only regular screening platform for the genre of PoetryFilm: films based on poems, poems turned into films, poet-filmmaker collaborations, text-based films, and other avant-garde text/image material. Events consist of eclectic selections of PoetryFilm shorts, sometimes accompanied by live performance and discussion.
Submissions are welcome and ongoing: please fill a submission form and send in together with your film.
The PoetryFilm archive is the only one of its kind in the UK - to book a screening please email info-at-poetryfilm-dot-org.
Malgorzata's Oulipo poetry collection Doppelgangers was published in 2005 by the Heaventree Press and the Arts Council, and she has featured on BBC Radio 4. Her film, Cut-Up Experiment VIII, screened at Cannes Film Festival in May 2007. She is now working on a Domino Documentary about synaesthesia. Her latest film, Chest of Drawers + Bicycle Experiment V, will screen in Cannes in 2011.
