Get public exposure and have your work screened in a premier public venue-Pacific Cin?math?que, November 8-11, 2001. We are interested in any original, creative combination of poetry with material on videotape. Cinepoems are also acceptable provided they are transferred onto videotape format. This event provides a much needed venue for the presentation of work in this burgeoning art form. The most innovative treatments are explored and presented. The selection of works is a broad range of mostly Canadian artists, a smaller amount of international artists and a diversity of poetic styles and video strategies. The EEC aims to develop a forum for defining, legitimizing and nuturing work in this hybrid genre and the artists who produce it in Canada. The festival components include SEE THE VOICE-a Poetry Video Workshop, two or three screenings, an awards gala and a night of performance-STAGED & SCREENED, Mixed Media Cabaret-wherein poets interact with their videopoems by incorporatiing elements of dance, theatre and music.
