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 own work employs associative thinking and concerns the said and unsaid - consciousness and how meaning is created and experienced. Her 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 Cut-Up Experiment VIII PoetryFilm screened at Cannes Film Festival in May 2007. She is now working on a Domino Documentary about synaesthesia. Her latest PoetryFilm Chest of Drawers + Bicycle Experiment V will screen in Cannes in 2010.
PoetryFilm has a residency at Curzon Renoir Cinema in London every 2 months.
The next event is on Wednesday 9th December 2009.
