AFCOOP introduces a new program for poets and filmmakers Halifax April 19th, New this year, the Atlantic Filmmakers Cooperative (AFCOOP) is partnering with the Writers’ Federation of Nova Scotia to present A Certain Openness: the filming of poetry a collaborative filmmaking program designed to foster relationships between Nova Scotia’s filmmaking and writing communities. Six poets will be paired with six filmmakers to collaborate and create filmed interpretations of existing poetry. The result will be six short works of cinépoetry that will be can be used to showcase Nova Scotia’s talented filmmakers and writers across the country.

“Poetry can be intimidating for readers and this collaboration will create a threshold, a way into poems that is hospitable as well as visually invigorating,” says Sue Goyette from the Writers Federation of Nova Scotia. “The program will give both the writing and filmmaking communities the opportunity to connect as they learn, together, the rewarding art of collaboration.”

Through the program, participants will receive film training as well as mentorship from lead instructors poet Tanya Davis, and filmmaker Andrea Dorfman. The program will supply filmmaking gear, supplies and materials and a small cash budget for teams to spend on their productions.

“Collaboration with filmmakers has expanded my artistic practice in a powerful way, opening up a whole new world of work and opportunity for me,” says Tanya Davis, who is also Halifax’s Poet Laureate.

Nova Scotia has seen a recent flourishing of the popularity of cinépoetry due in part to filmmaker Andrea Dorfman and her collaboration with poet Tanya Davis. Their video, How to Be Alone, went viral on YouTube, and has received over 3 million views since it was uploaded in 2010. It has also toured the world, screening at multiple film festivals including Toronto Short Film Fest, St John’s Women’s Film Fest, Atlantic Film Festival and the Zebra Poetry Film Festival in Berlin.

Inspired by the success of this local phenomenon, A Certain Openness: the filming of poetry, invites filmmakers and poets who have not had the opportunity to work together before to open themselves creatively to the possibility of combining two art forms into one completed piece. Poets and filmmakers may apply to the program either as a team or on their own. Deadline for applications is May 14th 5pm.

“The viewer is taken on a visual journey while the poet’s words are whispered in their ear,” says Andrea Dorfman. “To me the poet and the video artist are ideal collaborators.”

What is Cinépoetry?
Cinépoetry comes in many forms – from filmed spoken-word performances, to visual interpretations that may or may not contain the actual text of the poem. Films can include a combination of literal and abstract renderings of the text they are based on. By combining the two art forms of film and poetry, a new meaning is created, and a new medium is discovered!

Timeline
Workshops will commence in June and take place over a series of 3 weekends, (exact dates to be determined). Individual film shoots will take place in July and August. Editing and post-production will take place in September working towards a premier screening in mid October 2012. In addition to scheduled workshops, participants can expect to spend a considerable amount of time working with each other to collaborate, design their shooting plans, shoot their film, record sound and edit the piece.
