About
“A Japanese verse form most often composed, in English versions, of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. A haiku often features an image, or a pair of images, meant to depict the essence of a specific moment in time.” — Poetry Foundation
In this workshop for poets and new poets, filmmakers and new filmmakers, we’ll use the natural wonders of the spring season as our inspiration to write and share haikus and then turn them into a collaborative short film. Everyone is welcome at this free event!
This workshop is presented as a part of Cadence Film Festival 2021 (April 16–25).
