The Cinepoem project
Thursday November 22nd 2012 from 7.30 the Richmix arts centre, the main space. 35-47 Bethnal Green road, E1 6LA. 020 7613 7498. Free entrance for all.

- Emanuella Amichai & SJ Fowler
- Tim Atkins & Ran Slavin
A ground breaking collaborative exchange between three Israeli film-makers / video artists and three British poets, translating the medium of poetry into the practise of film to produce three original, poetic films, or cinepoems.
The aim of the project is to transform the auspices of a selected, single poem into short, conceptual films, that will be screened on November 22nd in London, at the Richmix Arts centre. The event will also feature poetry readings from Tom Raworth, Tim Atkins and SJ Fowler, and a panel discussion exploring the unique nature of poetic / filmic collaboration and the potentiality of poetry as a medium adaptable to film.
The project is designed to show that the potential for poetry to be realised in the narrative of film and film-making may lay the path for a wide future between these mediums, enriching them both in the process. This is the first instalment of the Enemies project, a year long exploration of poetry and collaboration, curated by SJ Fowler, supported by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation.
Programme of events:
- A poetry reading by the poets: SJ Fowler, Tom Raworth, Tim Atkins.
- Ran Slavin will introduce a film based on Tim Atkins’ poem: ODES I / 32+ODES II /3
- – Avi Dabach will introduce a short film based on Tom Raworth’s poem “TAXOMONY”
- Emanuella Amichai will introduce a short film based on SJ Fowler’s poem :”38 meditations on strong tea”
- A panel discussion exploring the unique nature of poetic / filmic collaboration
