The premiere of the Poetry + Video curated programme took place in May in Murwillumbah, Australia.

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.
