About Poetry Film
Poetry has the ability to transport us to a place where time stands stilllike being captivated by a beautiful moment with a loved one, or the feeling of reverie that can come while spending time in nature. Poetry can be like the high sometimes experienced during exercise, or making love. We'd like these moments to last forever because we feel so alive and in touch with ourselves, and can fully appreciate the wonders of the universe. Poetry also has the power to disturb. It can make us feel vulnerable and insecure. It can force us to change our perspective, or to see something differently. This, too, is beautiful because poetry can inspire change, growth, and creativity. Film is equally powerful. By combining the two art formspoetry and filmwords and images work together to transport the viewer to another time and place, where things can be experienced both as they are, and as they are yet to be.
Tequel Poetry Film Festival is a production of the California Institute of Arts and Letters, a nonprofit publishing and arts organization. The mission of the Institute is to create and maintain conversations that matter through publishing, film screenings, peer support networks, and community events. We are especially interested in prophetic voices, and visionary artiststhose who challenge our conscious understanding of purpose, place and meaning. |
