Going West Festival has announced a brand-new approach to celebrating live poetry with Different Out Loud, a collection of thoughtful video collaborations between Aotearoa poets and filmmakers.
Themed around the word âcoastalâ, these integrated pieces by some of our best poets and finest screen artists are being aired online from 12 April 2021.Â
The Kaupapa for Different Out Loud was to create poetry on the theme of âcoastalâ or âlittoralâ, shot within the WaitÄkere Ranges Local Board area. Four of these videos are true collaborations, in which poets and filmmakers have worked together to develop integrated pieces, where the words and pictures depend on each other for their fullest meaning.Â
