PATCHWORK: Film x Poetry

Welcome to PATCHWORK: Film x Poetry! PATCHWORK is an interdisciplinary arts fellowship open to filmmakers and poets. Filmmakers and poets are paired together to create original film-poems, or pieces of art that traverse the space between the film and poetry genre. In the first half of the fellowship, poets work with filmmakers to produce an original poem informed by both their joint creative interests; in the second half of the fellowship, filmmakers work with poets to create an original short film. Explore the films and poems from our most recent season below.
