3 films, 3 festivals, in Berlin, Michigan and Barcelona

I'm looking forward to three poetry film festivals coming up later this month and in October. Firstly, in its 4th year, FILMETRY invited filmmakers to adapt selected work from the 2022 themed edition of the MSU Library Short Edition, "Home," from which I chose a poem by Christine Jones titled 'Mom Asks Me to Write Her a Poem About the Sky' My piece with the title of the poem has been selected and will be shown on 30 September in Michigan. Further information in filmetry.org.

Then on 3rd October my poetry film 'La exposición' (The Exhibition) will be shown in the Filmarte Festival in Berlin, a festival 'for Art Films & Films about Art(ists)'. The Exhibition is an irreverent take on the art world. A poetic hybrid combining essay, documentary, journalism, and video art. It is a collaborative poetry film including specially created pieces by Eduardo Yagüe and Sarah Tremlett, alongside interviews with artist and philosopher Ignacio Gómez de Liaño, professor of art aesthetics and theory Ilia Galán, videos from Instagram artists Jan Erichsen and Ángel Rivas, artwork by the Olive brothers, movement in a museum by Mia Gill, and the Argentinian actor Ignacio Kowalski. The idea of play and a child's approach to art runs through this piece. Featuring original music by New Zealand musician Nic Clay. Further information soon in filmartefestival.com.

And before these, on 28th September, in Barcelona, 'The Calm Sea', a film I made with Mia Gill who wrote the poem. The II Mostra de Videopoesia V2 VERSOS&VISUALS as part of 'NUDO, festival de poseía desatada' takes place in the Centro Civic Pati Llimona at 6:30pm. Further information and tickets in NUDO Programación.
