Cadence Video Poetry: a current wells inside
For this screening, we are partnering with Portland Panorama Film Festival!
This is a paid screening, and tickets will need to be pre-purchased through the festival website.
Presented in partnership with Cadence Video Poetry, a literary media organization in Seattle, WA and the only festival of its kind in the region. This night of shorts also serves as a satellite screening for their fest.
What is the object of your reaching, searching, and longing? A tidal wave of Pacific Northwest screendance, video poetry, and avant-garde cinema, these homegrown shorts invite introspection. Including outcomes of Cadence workshops and new work from past Cadence artists in residence, this showcase features works about a Palestinian beekeeper, the trans-Atlantic slave trade, a post-feline society, and a world liberated from gender, to revel in the many lineages of our region and the importance of diversity to our culture. Satire, speculation, and surrealism, these films are a sampling of the swell of video poetry emerging from this area of coastal convergence.
Program runtime is 69 mins and screening will be followed by a Q&A with attending filmmakers.
