Poetry interweaves with films

13/10/2013

 
An altogether convivial and most successful screening at the Poetry Cafe London, featuring a collection of evocative short 16mm films set in China, shot and edited by Nick Collins.
Also set in China, Chris H. Lynn's Summer Trilogy features early morning mists, a monsoon rainstorm, and calm reflections, lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the lake at Peoples' Park, Shanghai.
Memoriam, a set of new poems by the filmmaker and poet Maureen Kendal were read by her, interwoven with the films. Visual rhymes between poetry and films appeared, as in the 'light glinting on waves' which also featured powerfully in Dennis Dracup's lyrical film, On The Spent and Silent Sand.
Steve Dracup's hypnotic Two.Words. stimulated a wide range of emotions through pairs of words presented in different colours and styles, in a crossfading procession over his sonic score. 
And then the poet Spike Hawkins appeared, and rounded off the evening with a flourish, with his inimitable readings from his collection, 250 Grams of Poetry.
(For the evening's complete programme, see my previous post, below).
