Poetry in the Age of Cinematography.
With Jan Röhnert.

Since the beginnings of moving pictures, since the origins of the cinema with Lumière and Méliès, poetry has been enthralled by film. Apollinaire founded a "Society of Friends of Fantôma", while Expressionists such as Jakob van Hoddis were addicted to the silver screen, Brecht was a huge Chaplin fan and Rolf Dieter Brinkmann stirred up the German poetry scene in 1968 with his demand for a "film in words". These days the cinema is a factor in the everyday experience and individual and collective memory explored by poets on both sides of the Atlantic.

10:30pm The German-speaking World

Entry 6,50 EUR

Servus, Grüezi and Hallo! Whether on the Alm alpine pastures, the Schleswig-Holstein holm or on the heath, poetry films are made everywhere in the German-speaking countries and together form a focus of this year's Festival. Find out how you can realise yourself or dissolve in fast and furious statis and why Cain didn't have anything good to say about Abel.
