????? ??? ????????:
Performing arts and activism often go hand in hand, as tools to deliver messages in need of their voices being represented. In this case, it isn’t a voice or a minority, but an entire planet that needs to be spoken for by those inhabiting it…the main threading line being poetry as the language that delivers the message.
That is the concept behind “Nature & Culture – International Poetry Film Festival”, an idea that began during early spring as a collaboration between Kulturhuset Islands Brygge and Red Door Gallery’s project The Poetic Phonotheque.
The festival received almost 300 films, from over 50 locations, such as Egypt, Kosovo, Argentina, Iraq, Taiwan, Australia, as well as many from Scandinavia. The official selection of 128 films, made by lecturer Solveig Willum and artist Christina Jonsson, is divided into the genres of Poetry Film, Animation, Short Film, Experimental, and Documentary, and will be screened during the first edition of Nature & Culture – International Poetry Film Festival at Kulturhuset Islands Brygge in Copenhagen on Sunday, November 21st and on Sunday, November 28th, from 1 PM to 8 PM, as well as streamed digitally until Nov 30.
The event includes an exhibition titled “Colors for Climate” by international artist Rita Howis, as well as a collaboration with Extinction Rebellion, who will do a talk on each day during the festival.
A series of posters has been designed for the festival by artist Leonardo Reyes, which have been printed locally on recycled paper, as well as a book that documents all the participants of the project, illustrated by Danish artist Rikke Winkler Nilsson.
