3rd ANNUAL

 

V A N C O U V E R   V I D E O P O E M   F E S T I V A L


The Edgewise ElectroLit Centre is seeking videopoem submissions for the
Vancouver Videopoem Festival-the only screening event of its kind in
Canada. Get public exposure and have your work screened in a premier
public venue-Pacific Cinémathèque, November 8-11, 2001. We are
interested in any original, creative combination of poetry with
material on videotape. Cinepoems are also acceptable provided they are
transferred onto videotape format.


This event provides a much needed venue for the presentation of
Canadian work in this burgeoning art form. The most innovative
treatments are explored and presented. The selection of works is a
broad range of mostly Canadian artists, a smaller amount of
international artists and a diversity of poetic styles and video
strategies. The EEC aims to develop a forum for defining, legitimizing
and nuturing work in this hybrid genre and the artists who produce it
in Canada. The festival components include SEE THE VOICE-a Poetry Video
Workshop, two or three screenings, an awards gala and a night of
performance-STAGED & SCREENED, Mixed Media Cabaret-wherein poets
interact with their videopoems by incorporatiing elements of dance,
theatre and music.
