FALL is an exploration of experimental film and text and announces the start of a new collaboration between Beaconsfield and Glasgow University’s Creative Writing course.
We are looking for original, short film poems – up to approximately five minutes – that embrace the radical possibilities of immediacy and intimacy that digital cameras offer, as well as other accessible film editing processes and programmes.
FALL embraces the rough-hewn, DIY, low-fi alongside digital cut-glass aesthetics. There is no prescribed theme.
Selected film poems will be screened at Beaconsfield London on 29 November 2024 and at the Andrew Stewart Cinema, Glasgow University on 30 November – the first in a series of events observing, researching and opening up established contours and dynamics between visual art and text.
FALL Film Poem selection panel:
Malaika Bova. Film Programmer for Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, Producer for Foundazione La Biennale di Venezia and former Artistic Director of Raindance Film Festival.
