About this Event
Beyond Baroque unveils the fourth season of the International Poetry Film Festival, Los Angeles, with a special opening night event that explores the intersection of poetry and cinema. The evening centers on Poetry Goes to the Movies, an anthology edited by Suzanne Lummis, and published under Beyond Baroque Books' Pacific Coast Poetry Series imprint, which delves into the relationship between the two art forms. The conversation brings together a panel of filmmakers and poets whose work is at the forefront of the conversation on how poetry translates to the screen, set in the heart of the world’s entertainment hub.
Following the panel, the opening night screening will showcase five standout films from this year’s official selection, each based on a poem. The full lineup of films will be presented the next day, Saturday, April 19, as part of the festival’s broader exploration of the vibrant fusion of poetry and cinema.
