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

Polynesian navigators, America s Cup and inspiring kids with stories of their ancestors.
Sir Ian Taylor s new project that teaches kids about Polynesian voyagers migration across the Pacific Ocean thousands of years ago is personal.
The 2019 Innovator of the Year and founder of Animation Research, the company behind America s Cup graphics, was near 70 years old when he heard his ancestors story. My ancestors were part of the greatest human adventure story of all time, and I d never heard it before, he said.
He learnt about the migration journeys of his Pākehā ancestors at school in Raupunga, but he was never taught about the journeys of his other tūpuna, his Polynesian ancestors.
