What is a poetry film? Is it just a film of somebody reading a poem? In this screening poetry film makers and curators, Helen Dewbery and Lucy English, will introduce you to some recent examples of this developing and exciting approach to combining words with images.

So, sit back and enjoy a selection of poetry films made by poets and filmmakers from Bristol and beyond. We will also have time for discussion and conversation. FFI please contact Lucy on [email protected]

Helen Dewbury is founder of the online poetry film magazine ‘Poetry Film Live.’ Lucy English is a spoken word poet and poetry filmmaker based in Bristol.
