Open Call for Poetry Films for a screening at Millennium Film Workshop (Brooklyn, NY), curated by Michèle Saint-Michel and Erica Schreiner. Deadline December 10th

Now accepting poetry films from all artists regardless of location for a screening in 2025 at the Millennium Film Workshop in Brooklyn, NY.

The fate of poetry is to fall in love with the world. —Derek Walcott

Poetry film is an expansive genre encompassing poems read on film, poetic text on screen, visual poetics, and approaches such as the illustrative, interpretative, abstract/experimental, performance-based, kinetic typography, soundscape-focused, and cinematic poetry. We aim to embrace the broadest possible definition of the genre and hope this screening will spark dialogue about the genre's fluid boundaries and its spill into often mispronounced and unwieldy territories.

We look forward to seeing your submissions and falling in love with the world.
