CinePoems: Filmakers & Animators wanted
Poetry in the City Festival is commissioning four micro-budget cine-poems, to be screened on Liverpool's BBC Big Screen and at selected venues in the city in October/ November this year.
These will be short (2-3 mins) digitally-produced films interpreting the work of local poets. There is a small budget of up to £500 available for each film.
Each successful applicant will be offered a selection of Merseyside-based contemporary poems from which to choose. Your interpretation may include a reading/performance by the poet, but it's not essential that it do so. What we're looking for is striking, original work that will communicate boldly in a large public space.
Applications from anywhere in the UK or Europe are welcome.
Interested filmmakers/animators should either send a demo reel (DVD or mini-DV) to:
Cine-Poems 08,
Poetry in the City,
82 Huskisson Street
Liverpool L8 7LS
or, alternatively, email a link to online examples of your work to :
