POETRY FILM WORKSHOP

Tutor: Helen Dewbery​

 

The next course is in September.

​

September/October 2025 over 2 half-days, Sept 20th & Oct 4th https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/making-a-poetry-film-tickets-1145661397079

​

Who is the workshop for?

The workshop is for poets who are interested in poetry film or who are wanting to take their first steps towards it.

​​

​

​

​

 

 

What will the workshop cover? On this two half-day workshop we will:

  • Be inspired by looking at some of the many different styles, genres, and types of poetry film.

  • Identify similarities between film and poetry and what putting these together can offer.

  • Discuss in detail how to make a poetry film and then have a chance to make your own.

  • There will be lots of practical hints and tips as well as detailed handouts.

  • Opportunities for workshopping your poetry film

​

Any Special Equipment and Software needed: No specialist equipment is necessary. We’ll mainly be focused on using a phone for recording video and sound, and a laptop or desktop for editing (but editing can also be done on a phone).

​

There are many editing programmes that are free or reasonably low cost, and we’ll discuss some of the pros and cons and how to find the right one.

​

THE POETRY FILM COLLECTIVE

Meeting monthly, the Poetry Film Collective is an opportunity to continue to learn, workshop poetry films, and build community.

​

​

​

​

Inspiring, just what I needed, full of clearly delivered information, extremely supportive.

A great start to putting poetry films together that made me feel a little more confident to continue.

A welcoming, relaxed and rich learning experience all round.

I appreciated the support between sessions.
