My Eyes Like Rays: National Poetry Competition Filmpoem screening & poetry reading
Friday 13 October 2017, 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm
Adaptation, interpretation or illustration – how to convert a poetic image to a filmic one? Filmmakers translating the latest National Poetry Competition-winning poems into visual form answer the question with a swirling charcoal animation, a tableau of Lego men and a choreography of dancers and fallen leaves.
Filmpoem makers James William Norton, Helmie Stil and Sarah Tremlett will screen all ten NPC films at the Poetry Café this October. National Poetry Competition commended poets Sam Harvey and Laura Scott will bring the poetry – join them all for a lively reflection on the filmpoem-making process.

‘The NPC films will be shown on the big screen on Saturday the 28th of October at Depot cinema in Lewes, East Sussex. There also are some amazing spoken word poets who will perform at the festival: Salena Godden, Ross Sutherland, Matt Abbott and many more.
 
I (Helmi) created a trailer mainly out of your beautiful NPC footage to promote the festival. Original music by composer Lennert Busch.’
