About

Capture your unique cadence in a workshop that will take you from conception to premiere screening. From early cinepoetry to “bad lip reading,” participants will consider what compels them about the integration of poetry and image and work from that place. In a supportive workshop environment, we will write, film, and experiment, conceptualizing and developing video poems that may stretch the bounds of the genre. No experience with either poetry or film is necessary. Participants will have access to the NWFF editing lab over several weeks in April to complete their projects. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to screen their film at the April 25 showcase, to which they will receive complimentary admission with a guest!
