    Vancouver’s Visible Verse Festival goes global! 

    Reposted from the Visible Verse Facebook page

    We have lots of exciting changes in store for this year’s Visible Verse Festival! The date has been moved from November to Saturday, October 13, directly following the Vancouver International Film Festival and the program, still in the works, will include entries from 56 international artists and 100 videopoems from Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Portugal, Poland, Russia, the U.S. and Canada. And for the first time, we are exchanging videopoems with Argentina’s VideoBardo Festival and featuring a selection from their 2012 program. As well, we are happy to host Alberta artist Phillip Jagger who will perform his poetry and present “Reigning In Chaos: Words Into Video”, a hands-on workshop demonstrating the use of handcrafted video, a Kaos pad, iPod and video jamming software.

    With videopoetry and poetry film festivals and sites popping up all over the world, Vancouver and Pacific Cinematheque’s Visible Verse Festival maintains its position as North America’s sustaining venue for artistically significant videopoetry. As founder of the Vancouver Videopoem Festival and Visible Verse, curator and host Heather Haley has provided a venue for the genre since 1999 and vigorously contributed to the theoretical knowledge of the form. Haley is to be honored for her work with a Pandora Literary Award and has been invited to present a keynote address at the 4th VideoBardo Festival/Conference in Buenos Aires in November on the theme of “Videopoetry; New Perspectives on an Interdisciplinary Practice.”

      I would like to submit three short videopoems for your consideration.
      I have posted them on youtube, and here are the urls:

      I am a painter and animator living in Boston, Massachusetts. I have a long-standing interest in artists books, and have recently become interested in using text as a basis for animation.
      These texts began as pages from an erasure project.

      Thank you so much for taking the time to look at these. I am just beginning to explore this genre, and any comments would be welcome.

        Martha, these are very interesting text animations, and I would encourage you to email the links to Heather as she requires for submissions to Visible Verse. For my part, I’ll certainly add at least the first and third to the queue for posting at the Moving Poems main site.

          Oh, sorry, I got confused—I thought I was emailing heather. How embarrassing—But thank you! I’m so pleased that you’re posting them!

      Thanks for helping spread the word Dave.

        My pleasure. Who knows — I might even get off my butt and submit one of my own crappy videopoems this year. :)

    • Heather Haley 7:41 pm on January 21, 2011 Permalink | Reply

      Well, despite the scatological reference, or references, I look forward to viewing your videopoems. ;-)
