Competiton based on a contemporary festival poet

 

Since 2014, the Art Visuals & Poetry Film Festival has regularly chosen an Austrian writer as festival poet and has announced one of his poems for film adaptation. In addition to big names such as Georg Trakl and Rainer Maria Rilke, contemporary Viennese authors* are also featured. We started in 2019 with the Viennese writer Sophie Reyer. Sophie makes poetry films with various filmmakers and is a prominent representative of the Austrian poetry film scene. For the poetry film competition 2019 the festival provided her poem "First" in a sound recording including the rights and an English translation for a poetry filming competition. In the international competition  the task to film the poem was set. 12 film adaptations were shown at Art Visuals & Poetry. The ex aequo winners were chosen by an independent jury. Some of the films are available online.
