Review 10th International Video Poetry Festival

We would like to thank all the artists, poets and filmmakers, who came to our festival.

They presented and shared their art projects and their thoughts about video poetry

with an international video poetry community.

On Saturday morning, the international artists who visited the festival gathered 

in a tea/coffee meeting and shared their views and beliefs about art and video poetry.

I lost the way
Director: Panagiotis Rappas
GREECE

Two men of different ages, talk about their lives and what haunts them.
One, almost middle-aged, feels he has lost his way. Full of anxiety and metaphysical agony, he desperately seeks to find the path of return that will lead him to his paternal home and the years of innocence. At the point where he started his impasse, so far, wandering. The route looks like a strange dream. People, animals, machines, change form, properties, and actions in a nightmarish cluster full of paradoxical images, charged with passions and unacknowledged guilt.

VIDEO POETRY

Matin Ecchymose
Director: Emilie Peltier
CANADA

Deaf people from Quebec City meet Queer artist Mo Bolduc and, using the Quebec sign language, interpret some poems written at the Maison de la littérature in March 2020. The film is the result of this encounter, between read texts and their appropriation by Karl Normand, Maritza Côté, Josée Villeneuve and Élisabeth Rhéaume, as powerful and poetic echoes.

The Human Child
Director: Lika Nadir
UKRAINE

Our life balances between internal freedom and belonging to others. The inner measure of truth never lies, like the human body. Try to live your life so as to penetrate through it the truth for those who will come to this world after you.

Yellowstone 88 – Song of Fire
Director: Jerry van de Beek, Betsy De Fries
UNITED STATES

In the summer of 1988 dry lightning sparked a fire in the parched and drought ridden landscape of Yellowstone Park, igniting a blaze that would scorch over 1.5 million perimeter acres of the park.

Song of Fire, a narrative poem, guides the animation of YELLOWSTONE 88 telling the story of this conflagration that raged unabated for months until a snow of such intense severity extinguished the flames. That winter surviving Fauna, exhausted from fire and weakened by hunger, die in greater numbers than those claimed by the fire. The cosmos turns from one season to another and another and life in the park begins anew.

They Promised us a Future

Director: Laura R. Tolentino
MEXICO

An amazing experimental film poem. Laura R. Tolentino created a very strong

performance video poem that comments the social and environmental issues

with a unique, extraordinary way.

Exodus
Director: Guido F.G. Jeurissen

Thrills Of Power Meri Dishnica ALBANIA
This Cinematic Poem echoes the personality distortion one faces after he gets powerful


Ques (Nesinando Nemises) Namimbia keeps us hypnotised with her spoken word while healing the deep-rooted wounds of our colonial past and present. Ques’ voice is our ancestors’ voice enacting pain and oppression, but also hope and wisdom. All Khoekhoegowab is also spoken in English accentuating the sound difference between both languages, and the timeless sounds of native languages.
