The High Hills have a Bitterness

This film brings out the sense of loss: loss of self, the environment and industry. The quarries of the Mendip Hills, many of which are long gone and are now geological sites of Special Scientific Interest, are places to reflect on the ‘soul helpless gone’. The active quarries are used for road construction and other building work. It doesn’t take an expert to realise that they too will one day run out.

The poem is from Stone’s 2014 collection Someone Else’s Wedding Vows. Colin Heaney composed the music.

“In the beginning” – “The confession” – “Gilgamesh’s snake” by Roxana Vilk – Iran / UK

In the Beginning

Directed, filmed and produced by Roxana Vilk, edited by Maryam Gorbankarimi, sound design and music Peter Vilk .

This art film is a result of a commission to Roxana Vilk  from Highlight Arts and funded by Literature Across Frontiers and the British Council.  Filmed in Shaqlawa and Erbil, Northern Iraq in January 2013. and based on a poem by Baghdad poet Zaher Mousa. The film was selected for & screened at Berlin Film/Poem Festival 2014 and was selected by three curators to be  in competition for the ‘Perception’ Exhibition at SummerHall Edinburgh during EIF 2015.

The Confession

This film is one of three shorts I made during a week in Beirut in May 2011. The films were commissioned by Reel Festivals and Creative Scotland and the remit was make a series of short films “inspired by” the festival of poets. It was an amazing week, it’s not every day that you get to meet poets from Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and Scotland.

The starting point for this film was conversation about poetry and war with Yehia Jaber, a leading poet in Lebanon, and a very inspiring man, whose extraordinary life journey from a fighter to a poet leaves much food for thought. 

Gilgamesh’s snake

Based on a poem by Ghareeb Iskander, Directed/Produced & filmed by Roxana Vilk, Edited by Maryam Ghorbankarimi and Sound Design & Music Peter Vilk, Poem translation by John Glenday, bridging translation by Lauren Pyott and Assistant Director James Sadri.

“In January 2013 I was invited to create films inspired by poets and poems I encountered from both Iraq and Scotland as part of the Reel Iraq festival in Erbil. It was an incredible trip and an honor to work with Reel Festivals again. I first heard Ghareeb Iskander’s poem, during a magical evening in the mountain village of Shaqlawa when the poets were sharing the fruits of the first days of translating each other works over a glass of wine… or two…. As John Glenday read out in English his translation of Ghareeb’s poem, I was immediately struck by the imagery in it and how the sentiment resonated with how I felt on coming to Iraq for the first time – a mixture of feeling the weight of the history mixed with an aching sense of loss. I should also add at this point that the poem in the film is an extract of a much longer work ( in three acts) on Gilgamesh. Image wise I was drawn to empty sites across Erbil. First of all the many building sites that lay scattered across much of the city and how they had this haunted quality – almost like abandoned old theatres.  I was also drawn to filming in the empty ancient Citadel in the centre of Erbil which dates back over 3,000 years and had 3 years ago been emptied of its inhabitants to be preserved as a UNESCO site. Both these locations resonated with the emotional landscape in Ghareeb’s poem for me and also lent visual space to house the images he was creating in the language. It was pouring with torrential rain for most of our trip which seemed fitting in some way with the sound world of Ghareeb’s poem and one morning I asked him to walk through an empty building site, reciting his poem in his mind, as the rain dripped loudly on the floor of the empty site.  In terms of colour I wanted to reflect back Erbil exactly as I encountered it in January – devoid of much colour and somehow the locations had a monochromatic feel. So our ever sharp eyed editor Maryam Ghorbankarimi and I worked together strip the images back of colour and then use just touches of colour to create contrast. Sound designer and composer Peter Vilk used the found real location sounds I had recorded Iraq ( such as the rain) which he then treated and manipulated with his software to create his sound design score, alongside a melody he wrote on the piano. ” Roxana Vilk

“Lady Lazarus” by Hieu Gray – USA

Hieu Gray (formally Huynh) is a filmmaker and poet. She is interested in bringing poetry to life by creating visually stunning and provocative short films using the narrative of the poetic word as a jumping off point and taking the poems into unexpected and surprising landscapes.  Her short films have been screened nationally and internationally (APAture Film Festival – San Francisco, Asian Film Festival of Dallas, the International Video Poem Festival – Athens, Greece). 

Gray feels that by bringing poetry into the film medium, she is introducing a whole new generation of readers to poetry. She wants to change the way people experience and perceive poetry by moving beyond the written word and into the dynamic world of film where anything is possible.  Now, more than ever, poetry has always been the medium through which people have expressed themselves in times of social and political upheaval. She wants to help provide a platform for emerging, diverse poets to spread their poems into greater audiences. As a first-generation Vietnamese-American, Gray has been influenced by her culture’s poetic heritage, as well as, her small town South Georgia roots. This dichotomy provides a tension that she explores in her own poetry and films about the Southern gothic, identity, and the immigrant story.

For over a decade, Gray honed her craft as a Senior Producer at CNN creating some of the network’s most memorable and innovative campaigns. Her most recent projects at the network included the launch campaigns for Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown and the award-winning commercials for CNNGo, the network’s inaugural on-demand streaming service. Her work on these projects won numerous industry awards including several Gold PROMAX/BDA awards and New York Festivals Gold awards.  Her work greatly contributed to CNN’s win as the Worldwide Marketing Team of the year at the PROMAX/BDA awards. However, her most rewarding project has been a personal one. For World Refugee Day, she initiated and spearheaded a company-wide key art campaign that focused on highlighting employees who also happened to be refugees. She wanted to change the narrative of what it means to be a refugee – not only are they survivors, but also neighbors, friends, and co-workers.  Her efforts drew attention to the many faces of being a refugee and won a PROMAX/BDA Worldwide award.

In 2016, Gray moved to the West Coast to pursue her writing and filmmaking full-time. During this time, she was selected as a Norman Mailer Center poetry summer fellow at Pepperdine University where she started work on her poetry that focused on cultural identity, immigration, and her experience as a refugee. While at Pepperdine, the groundwork was laid for her visual poetry project.

Her poetry has been performed live on stage in New York City for Emotive Fruition – a performance series where actors bring verse to life. She was selected as part of Thread@Yale Class of 2016 where journalists gathered from all over the world to explore and expand storytelling in modern media. 

Gray holds an MFA in Creative Writing/Poetry from NYU’s inaugural low-residency program with workshops in Paris.  She has been a finalist for the Ruth Lilly Poetry Fellowship which recognizes young poets under thirty-two. She graduated from Emory University with a BA in Creative Writing and Journalism.

Inspired by the motion of rocking their newborn, Adam and Lisa explore the movement in a sensual, romantic duet where their relationship is reborn and rediscovered as they explore their physical and emotional nakedness.

Gareth Jenkins’ poetry and vocal delivery draw together the themes of new life, rediscovery and sensuality in the refrain of reunion: we meet and we meet again. The poet emphasises the potential of the breath, bodily movement and skin to create and complicate human connection.

“An Artist Thought” by Amina Avdic – Sarajevo / Bosnia-Herzegovina

What is an artist’s thought? What leads or moves him? These are the questions an actor asks himself and gives poetical answers at the same time. Sitting alone behind a piano while waiting for his friend, a theatre colleague, he shifts his attention to his own thoughts. The thinking journey provokes his deepest emotions through fragments, emotions of fear up to huge love, while he reaches the essence that art exists only in some people.

City and theater scene, expanded space of mind, imagination of reminiscence. Searching for himself, young actor Ivan, led by the invisible forces of space, explores the unknown and inaccessible places of his mind.

The director’s thesis, guided by the concept of story based on the teachings of G.I.Gurdjieff:

“Listen, you have now found the conditions in which the desire of your heart can become the reality of your being. Stay  here, until you acquire a force in you that nothing can destroy. Then you’ll need to go back into life, and there you will measure yourself constantly with forces which will show you your place.”

Film  An Artist’s Thought is  an individual train of association that is of significant value in the process of creation.

“L’ inventario” by Francesca Bonfatti – Italy

“The inventory” is inspired by a film from the repertory of mute cinema of 1917, inspired by the novel by Antonio Fogazzaro of 1881, in which a woman experiences a deep state of disturbance perhaps due to a personality duplication that is the cause of strange memories that emerge as ghosts of the past…

“Inventory” aims to be a project that it intends to trace through a multimedia installation characterized by a plurality of channels – verbal, sound-textual and iconic (static and moving images) – perceptual thresholds between present, past and future.
What is an archive? This was the starting point for the development of a job that seeks to represent and configure the archive as a personal and vital space, constituted by the gestures and relationships between the fragments of history that go to (re) generate and make up the substance.

Francesca Bonfatti in art “Gelìdelune” is a Visual artist Video performer and Photographer who lives in Italy.
For several years exploring different techniques and languages until it explodes passion (always present!) for photography. “Photography for me was and is a treasure trove mysterious and sophisticated that allows me to see how in a magic door the distance between me and the life around me.”
The artistic and human revolves around the concept of space-action reveals, “that line blurred between where we are and where we appear.”
That of the boundary and the boundary is a subject declined to 360 °, border space as a limit but as a mutation and, as is taking shape appear out of nowhere (ad_parére “come to life”), the appearance as a revelation becomes the only depth possible. The subjects and themes of the work flow from coextension between the real world and the mental world, a “place – space” where they experience a journey of knowledge and refinement.
Among the most representative of my poetic united by the same thread of the series: “Self_border” (border of self), where overlap with suggestions poetic autobiographical those linked to forms of magical thinking in different cultures, “Dance to the moon” and “The role of Isis” series dedicated to the moon feminine symbol and element of the mother earth, mostly self-portraits where dance becomes a method to retrieve and act on the forces of nature, a tension in search of harmony and inner perfection. Internal_ice: a series of portraits of “internal” influences from minimal, in which we combine the borders (internal / external) between living space and personal space. “Boundary revelation space space” (space visible presence): with this project and analyze port “beyond” the sensory experience, in a space of visible presence, letting the shadows and highlights of being submerged and inaccessible areas of the ego where space becomes a place of the unexpected, the “possible”, then change’s. Work “Over the walls and boundaries” explores dimensions and planes of existence and ideally defines the space of the border between real and imaginary, material and spiritual.
