Filmetry: a Festival of Poetry and Film
Emerging or unverified festival
FILMETRY: a Festival of Poetry and Film is an annual U.S. festival founded in Michigan State University circles in 2018–2019 that pairs poets and filmmakers to create short poem-based works. It is notable for requiring the poem’s text to appear in the finished film and for showcasing collaborative, often brief films that transform poetry into audiovisual form. The festival is part of the poetry-film circuit and has helped premiere work that has gone on to win awards at other festivals.
