The fifth edition of the International Poetry Film Festival, Los Angeles, features screenings of 64 poem-based films from around the world, including selections from Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Germany, Mexico, the United Kingdom, among other countries. Selected by festival director Lynn Holley and Beyond Baroque, the films will be screened in The Wanda Coleman Theater.
The International Poetry Film Festival, Los Angeles, kicks off on Friday, April 24, with an opening night event celebrating past festival contributors from the Los Angeles area. The evening features a moderated conversation about the creative process and collaborations behind transforming poems into films for the big screen. The panel includes poets Mylo Lam and Rich Ferguson in conversation with filmmaker Vicki Syal. The program will revisit some festival favorites and present an exclusive selection of short poetry films in celebration of the festival’s fifth year.
The full lineup of films in the Official Selection will be presented Saturday, April 25. The schedule for the festival’s program will include a variety of experimental, narrative, documentary, and animated poem-based films. We are thrilled to showcase the work of filmmakers and poets pushing the boundaries of their artistic disciplines to create a whole new experience for lovers of both art forms.
