Cinépoetry Film Lounge Programme

Slide show: 

Curated by Dr Sarah Smith

Stills' Film Lounge presents an exciting new programme of films that evoke the poetic in the moving image.

Ranging from the poignant to the playful, these films either engage directly with literature or experiment with the pure poetry of abstraction. Through orchestrated layers of image and sound they each provide absorbing moments that resonate long after we've stopped looking.

The programme brings together works by Orcadian poet, painter and filmmaker, Margaret Tait, Scots-Italian writer, academic and amateur filmmaker Enrico Cocozza, key feminist experimental filmmaker of 1980s and 1990s, Sandra Lahire and more recent works by Glasgow based artists Stephen Sutcliffe and Katy Dove.
