The organizer, Adam Steiner, tells me that they aim to go on tour with the films in the near future. To repeat what I said when I shared the initial film in the series, The Dreamer of Samuel Vale House by Steiner and poet Antony Owen, this sounds like a truly commendable use of film to bring the perspectives of poets and artists to bear on pressing local issues. And there are few issues more pressing than our fraught relationship with place. I’d love to see this project imitated elsewhere.
