Our Mission

The Mission and Goals of the Poetry Film Festival

Our mission is to explore the complex nature of combining poetry with filmmaking. It is a tricky, creative endeavor. Poetry is an ancient discipline of lyrical and written prose dating back thousands of years. Filmmaking is brand new by comparison, emerging only at the turn of the 20th Century.  Poetry has had time to expand to what is available today, over 80 forms of poetry and verse just waiting for their essence to be captured in “moving pictures.”  As for videos and films, the ease and increase in the availability of filmmaking has created new venues and markets for release. We are proud to offer our platform to encourage creativity, and to screen those works of exceptional talent in animation, documentary, narrative and experimental, with a salute to Original Scores.  Submit your work for entry on filmfreeway.com. 2024 will soon open.
