Poetry film workshop in Bristol, 14-15 October
Bath Spa University is sponsoring a Liberated Words Two-Day Poetry Film Festival, led by the accomplished filmpoem makers Chaucer Cameron and Helen Dewbery. Here’s the Facebook event description:
The workshop is generously sponsored by Bath Spa University so the cost is just £10
Booking: to reserve a place contact Chaucer by email: chaucer.cameron@gmail.com
The workshop covers:
- understanding what poetry film is or can be
- viewing poetry films from around the world
- knowing where to find still and moving images
- creating images and film yourself
- where to find music and sound or get it made
- putting it all together
- where to send/show finished work
We will finish day one of the workshop making a group poetry film together. On day two, with support and collaboration, you will have the opportunity to make a poetry film of your own. We will include using archive material, still images and moving film, and using words on the screen and voiceovers. You will be encouraged to bring your own ideas and skills, and push into new realms of what poetry and poetry film can be.
It is useful, but not essential, for you to bring a laptop, and camera or mobile phone capable of taking video. If you do not have a laptop you will not be able to make your own poetry film on the day – but there is still plenty you can learn and experience – so don’t let that put you off.
An practical online handbook is available for all participants.
Please bring a packed lunch. Coffee, tea and snacks are available in the YHA café.
The workshop will be held October 14 – October 15 in the conference room, YHA Bristol, The Grain House, 14 Narrow Quay, Bristol BS1 4QA. See Facebook for more information.
