Enjambment carries an idea across a line without punctuation, but with a shift in meaning. These video poems deal with themes of breaking from the past personally, politically, poetically, to become something new. Transformation here can mean acceptance and realization or destruction and obliteration. Moving on can be subtle or drastic—evolving with introspection and awareness of the world, even when we feel distant from it. These pieces take meaning from the negative space of the line break.
Cadence: Video Poetry Festival, presented by Northwest Film Forum, programmed in collaboration with Seattle author Chelsea Werner-Jatzke and artist Rana San, is a series of screenings, workshops, and discussions on the genre of video poetry, throughout National Poetry Month. Cadence fosters critical and creative growth around the medium of video poetry, approaching it as a literary genre presented as visual media.

Suspended within myself, drifting in a defined undefined. All about me stops I wait for my thoughts, to show themselves, waiting for my thoughts to see me. For myself to see me I move within the controlled uncontrolled. And I float, in the waiting pool, in it’s fluid, within it’s life, amidst the stillness I wait.

Una voz recorre los sitios y va diciendo y se va dejando. Se vuelve menos opaca para el mundo. Del cine viene Agostina, de la poesía voy yo, de este encuentro surge un murmullo -juego de presencias y ausencias- que hoy se muestra y se deja oír.

Set in the lake country of Northern Minnesota, Cry of the Loon is an elegy to the filmmaker’s grandfather, a lyrical mediation on life, death, and the beauty of the natural world.

We’d very much like to understand beginnings (even, or perhaps especially, unrealized beginnings) as orderly events—neat, picturesque, ordained; but what of the uncertainty, the risk, the chance for failure? How will (and do) these beginnings, as they gain speed and grow beyond our control, affect us in return?
Cadence, the only festival dedicated to video poetry in the PNW, fosters critical and creative growth around its genre. This year we will host five online showcases of short video poetry works by 83 artists from 20 different countries, selected from an open call for submissions and solicitations. In 2020, Cadence is moving online for the first time, in response to Washington State’s Stay Home, Stay Safe mandate. All programs priced on a sliding scale.
