Join poet Stephanie Chan and filmmakers Nina Chabra and Fadzil as they talk about their journey of turning poems from Stephanie's book Roadkill for Beginners into a film! Be among the first to watch the poetry film An Intermediate Guide to Roadkill before it premieres online, and listen to their behind- the-scenes stories of the challenges and joys of creating it.
Learn about the interconnected history of spoken word and internet videos. Understand how spoken word is changing in pandemic times. Learn how to translate emotions and memories behind a poem into moving images, how to capture the energy of a spoken word performance on film without diluting it. Learn the possibilities that emerge when poets collaborate with artists from various art forms, find new ways and get inspired! There will be a live Q&A at the end.
This project and event is supported by that National Arts Council of Singapore Digital Presentation Grant.
