PoetryFilm Equinox at The Groucho Club, Sunday 4 October 2015
A screening of short poetry films curated by British artist Zata Banks.
To mark the autumn equinox, Zata Banks will introduce a curated selection of film artworks, chosen for their alignment with poetry, with poetic structures, with poetic experiences, and with the visual, verbal and aural languages of poetry in various forms.
There will be 2 screenings of the programme (the film programme will be repeated).
Screening 1: 3pm
Screening 2: 6pm
This is a very comfortable screening room with armchairs. Seating is limited, so to secure a seat, please email info@poetryfilm.org ASAP, stating which screening you would like to attend (3pm or 6pm) and how many armchairs you would like to reserve.
