Pacific Cinémathèque


present


The Vancouver Videopoem Festival

</bold></bigger></center><bold>

</bold>On Friday and Saturday, November 3 and 4, 2000, the Edgewise
ElectroLit Centre is hosting the second annual Vancouver Videopoem
Festival at Pacific Cinémathèque, Canada's first and only poetry film
festival. Emceed by <italic>exstatic</italic> oral improv poet,
<bold>Kedrick James</bold>, the festival will present videopoems from
across Canada and around the world. Our international call for
submissions has resulted in a diverse range of work in this fledgling
medium. Videopoetry festivals occur in Chicago, San Francisco (known as
the Cine-Poem Festival) and Roma, Italy.


This event is the first of its kind in Canada and provides a much
needed venue for the presentation of Canadian work in this hybrid
genre, a genre which  receives scant attention in our country despite
being a creative field of growing interest for Canadian artists since
the 1970's. The most innovative treatments are explored and presented.
Work from Canada and beyond will give local audiences a survey of the
accomplishments in videopoetry in the past twenty years.  The selection
of works is a broad range of mostly Canadian artists, a smaller amount
of international artists to represent the course of the medium's
development; a diversity of poetic styles and video strategies and will
represent a balance of historical material with contemporary and
recently produced material. 


The goal of the second annual Vancouver Videopoem Festival is to
cultivate works, discussion and an audience for this burgeoning art
form that integrates poetry and video-like visuals, be they produced by
a camera or through computer programming. The EEC aims to develop a
forum for defining, legitimizing and nuturing work in this hybrid genre
(also known as poetry-film or cine-poetry) and the artists who produce
it in Canada. The festival components will include a Poetry and Video
Workshop on Thursday, Nov.2 at Video In with Jill Battson and Kurt
Heintz, two nights of screenings, a panel discussion and an awards gala
recognizing the achievements in this genre in various production and
creation capacities. To speak at the festival on the origins of the
genre, its forms, and on the artistic and cultural context in which it
can flourish, are <bold>Alma Lee</bold>, Artistic Director of the
Vancouver International Writers Festival, renowned poet and author,
<bold>Micheal Turner</bold>, award-winning poetry film producers and
media artists, <bold>Jill Battson</bold> of Toronto, ON and <bold>Kurt
Heintz</bold> of Chicago, Il, and  British-born Director of the
Cine-Poem Festival, <bold>Ian Moore.</bold>  Kicking off the screenings
will be dynamic performance poetry by <bold>Hilary Peach </bold>on
Friday, and <bold>Adeena Karasick </bold>on Saturday. One of Montreal's
core poet/performers,<italic> Exploding Head Man</italic>, <bold>Ian
Ferrier,</bold> will be featured at the Awards Gala on Saturday night.


<italic>What is a videopoem?


A wedding of word and image.
