Programme and THE ROMANIAN CULTURAL INSTITUTE through CANTEMIR PROGRAMME*





In 1924, Victor Brauner, the famous surrealist painter of later, and Ilarie
Voronca, poet, invented, as the "avant-garde" that they were, "pictopoetry",
of which, in a manifesto, they wrote: "Pictopoetry is not painting.
Pictopoetry is not poetry. Pictopoetry is pictopoetry". Paraphrasing them,
we could say that videopoetry is not video creation,  videopoetry is not
poetry,  videopoetry is  videopoetry!

A relatively new species, a "chimera", part image, part sound, and part
text, it is Protean and in continuous expansion. We have seen it in all its
diversity a few years back, at a festival in Berlin (the organizers had
invited American Bob Holman himself, a sort of Pope of "alternative"
poetry). A throng of young people were packing a few projection rooms where
tens of movies were being shown simultaneously, they were strolling from one
room to another, so that, just like me, they would miss as little as they
could from all that. I watched then a whole load of short films, some
created by videocreators, starting from poetic texts, or from authors, poets
or poetesses, others created by poets (of the visual). Sometimes, the film
can be an elongation of the text, a free interpretation, the text is only a
pretext for another message. The "species" of videopoetry has its
individuals as different from each other as some biological species.



Eva Pervolovici's project is one of the first self-assumed attempts at
videopoetry in Romania. She started it a few years ago, when she was still a
student in cinema school. She picked a few well-known authors, and designed
a few scripts so that the whole would also speak about her. Eva was known
until now more as an excellent young prose writer (as a student, she wrote a
collective novel on a forum written by young people who hadn't met, but who
shared a common passion: graffiti – the novel, in fact, is called *Graffiti
Files*). Now she starts here cinema career in an equally provocative
fashion: with videopoetry.



So, it is as I've said:  videopoetry is not video creation,  videopoetry is
not poetry,  videopoetry is  videopoetry!

In 1924, Victor Brauner, celebrul pictor suprarealist de mai tirziu, si
Ilarie Voronca, poet, aveau sa inventeze, ca avangardisti ce erau,
"pictopoezia" despre care, intr-un manifest, scriau asa: "Pictopoezia nu e
pictura. Pictopoezia nu e poezie. Pictopoezia e pictopoezie."
Parafrazindu-i, am putea spune ca videopoezia nu e creatie video,
videopoezia nu e poezie, videopoezia e videopoezie!

Specie relativ noua, o "himera", in parte imagine, in parte sunet si text, e
proteica si in continua expansiune. Am vazut-o in toata diversitatea ei acum
citiva ani, la un festival care avea loc la Berlin (organizatorii il
invitasera chiar pe americanul Bob Holman, un fel de Papa al poeziei
„alternative").  Multime de tineri umpleau citeva sali unde se derulau,
simultan, zeci de filme, se plimbau de la o sala la alta, ca si mine, ca sa
piarda cit mai putin din ceea ce-i interesa. Am vazut atunci o gramada de
scurtmetraje, unele create de videasti, pornind de la texte poetice sau de
la autori, poeti si poete, altele create de poeti (si ai vizualului).
Uneori, filmul poate fi o prelungire a unui text, o interpretare libera,
chiar o forma de "exegeza" care foloseste alt limbaj, cel vizual. Alteori,
textul e doar pretext pentru un alt mesaj. "Specia" videopoeziei isi are
indivizii ei la fel de diferiti ca unele specii biologice.



Proiectul Evei Pervolovici este una din primele incercari asumate de a face
videopoezie in Romania. L-a inceput acum citiva ani, cind inca era studenta
la Cinematografie. Si-a ales citiva autori cunoscuti si a gindit citeva
scenarii in asa fel incit ansamblul lor sa vorbeasca si despre ea. Eva era
cunoscuta pina acum mai ales ca o excelenta tinara prozatoare (a scris, pe
cind era studenta, la un roman colectiv creat pe un forum de tineri care nu
se cunosteau, dar care aveau o pasiune comuna: graffiti-ul – romanul se
numeste, de altfel, *Graffiti Files*). Acum, isi incepe cariera
cinematografica la fel de provocator: cu videopoezie.



Ramine, deci, cum am spus: videopoezia nu e creatie video, videopoezia nu e
poezie, videopoezia e videopoezie!
