While cinematography has been always closer to the literary genre of novel,
video art has been created as a "visual poetry", with paradoxicality and
laconicism in its expression, that is peculiar to the poetic form. The
Poetic Video Festival organizers decided to concentrate on this
characteristic of video art and collect works, scattered about in time and
place, that are created in video-poem genre, combining video and poetic
texts, where word and image are interchangeable. Video screenings of the
Poetic Video Festival will be presented at the Kinogalerija, September 15.
The Poetic Video Festival is organised by ORBITA (www.orbita.lv) - group of
writers, who experiment with spoken and written text. The closing event of
this festival in the European Cultural Month club will include interjamming
by not only poets, but also VJs and musicians.
