Visible Poetry Project have woven the films from this year's project into curated selections for this summer's New York City Poetry Festival. The themes were Experimenting with Form (Non-Narrative Poetry & Experimental Film), Women in Words & Film, Immigration & Assimilation, and Modern Love.

Would so loved to have been there to enjoy the whole experience. But this time, it wasn't to be.

Coyote Wedding by me, and written by Brittani Sonnenberg, was shown in the 'Experimenting with Form' programme.

1st Newlyn International Film Festival

9/4/2018

Sadly I wasn't able to make the trip down to Cornwall for the Newlyn Film Festival. I would have loved to have been able to hear Lucy English talk about her Book of Hours project as well as see some of the other films and talks. However, I am proud to say that Blue Flash Flash was screened in the Poetry Film category, and also the exciting news that I am about to become one of the filmmakers for the Book of Hours project which is nearing its completion date in October.

Digital Graffiti 2018 at Alys Beach, Florida

27/3/2018

Very, very excited to announce that 447 Intellect: N has been selected to be shown as part of the 11th outing of Digital Graffiti

The location and the event really does look stunning. I can't help but wonder (a Carrie Bradshaw voice has suddenly appeared in my head) what Floridians will make of my eclectic little film. And I can't anticipate what its going to look like, and whether or how the sound is going to play out.

But whatever happens, going by the images from last year it looks an amazing event.

Light Up Poole - 15-17 February

9/2/2018

Excited to announce that my new filmpoem 'Blue Flash Flash', featuring the poetry of Julia Bird will be projected onto the Argos Building, Kingland Crescent, Poole during Light Up Poole over half-term. 'Blue Flash Flash' came fourth in the Poole Film Poetry competition. If you'd like a preview of the film, you can see it on Vimeo

Many thanks to Julia for allowing me to work with her poem, and to Robert Glennie who kindly recorded the voiceover for it.

New video poetry: Being and being empty

30/1/2018

Previous films have reused and collaged other texts (447: Intellect N and Channel Swimmer), while my last film used the poetry of Julia Bird (Blue Flash Flash). In my current work, I wrote a short text myself for the first time. The result is 'Being and being empty'.

How to be a mother … who is this being that I am? Wanting to be half-full with the joy of play, a job well done, and the softness of a bed to sink into at the end. Feeling half-empty with a busy brain that won’t shut down and twitches into awakening too early. Feeling overwhelmed by the chores and feeling rubbish as a result because surely that’s really not important. Tossing and turning and struggling to make a zingy start to each new day.

Soon after posting the film up on Vimeo I was very pleased to have it reviewed by Dave Bonta on his blog Moving Poems
