Synopsis
Poem 8 is an attempt to use film as a medium for expressing the poetic art form. The film follows the same rhythmic structure of poetry and cadence of modern dance and uses heavily stylised costumes and aesthetic approaches to fine art. The absence of narrative and the melancholic nature of the frames create a meditative and aesthetically pleasing excursion into the author's subjectivity. „I thought, how interesting it would be if we used the film in a different method. So far it had been used like a novel to tell a story, or else as a documentary and there was nothing else in between, and I wanted to use the film as a poetic medium.“ E. Etting
