Poetry film is a sub-genre of film that fuses the use of spoken word poetry, visual images, and sound to create a stronger presentation and interpretation of the meaning being conveyed.
I recently came across an interesting website put together by Filieropoulos, a PhD student whose research is on the subject of Film Poetry. He suggests this is a “sort of genre/concern of experimental film that bridges structural and lyrical tendencies” and offers a couple of interesting papers on the subject. Film works across poetry, music, film and performance and you can see a body of his work on the website.
