Follow Up on Poets with a Video Camera: Videopoetry 1980–2020 Sadly Poets with a Video Camera exhibition curated by Tom Konyves at Surrey Art Gallery, Vancouver ended on December 11th. There have been a number of very good overviews of this leading exhibition, and I have posted them at this link on Liberated Words alongside further photos from the event. I was very proud to have my videopoem Some Everybodies in the exhibition, and be key speaker at the related symposium on November 5th, amongst so many talented artists. Many many thanks to Tom and Jordan Strom (SAG curator of exhibitions). Life will feel a little less special after this!

 The Women’s Canvas – A Festival of Films is upon us (16th–19th December) from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. Run by women for women who aim to create interesting and boundary-pushing content’. Good luck with the festival. I was fortunate enough to have Villanelle for Elizabeth not Ophelia included and look forward to the screenings in the coming days. .   For a full week this year, Fotogenia festival (who I partner with at Liberated Words) and directed by leading curator Dr Chris Patch, is running from November 23rd to December 1st. At https://www.fotogeniafilmfestival.org/en it is now in its fourth edition and is packed with a broad and eclectic selection of international works and includes live events alongside an online programme. I am one of the judges of the poetry film section and the entries were very difficult to judge, although one or two were highly innovative and a real delight to watch. Villanelle for Elizabeth not Ophelia is also in the festival programme 6 alongside artists such as Jane Glennie, Deborah Kelly and Tova Beck-Friedman in a section primarily related to women’s issues, and I am looking forward to being involved next week from an online point of view. 
I just love this festival! I won it last year with Selfie with Marilyn so maybe I am biased, but I really applaude their approach and artistic creativity. I am also lucky enough to have my interview (in Spanish and English) with Javier Robledo celebrating 25 years of VideoBardo and The Poetics of Poetry Film in the event, as well. If you are in Spain please go along!
Lovely review of The Poetics of Poetry Film by leading animator Professor Suzie Hanna in the Lisbon-based International Journal of Film and Media Arts –Vol. 7 No. 1 (2022): GEECT Transversal Entanglement – Artistic Research in Film. Thank you so much Suzie and editor Anna Coutinho. A valued endorsement. https://revistas.ulusofona.pt/index.php/ijfma   Following on from Vancouver I will be giving a reading with Marc Zegans at Adobe Books, SF on the 10th. Really looking forward to hearing him read from his new book and also I will be reading a selection of poems from poetry films and also unpublished poems 'being gathered' for TREE family history project. I will also be discussing The Poetics of Poetry Film and the historical relevance of poetry film to SF.
