[Frameworks] Literature and experimental film

[Gene Youngblood]

George Kuchar’s diary “Kingdom By the Sea” (2002) is structured around, and contains a “performance” of, Edgar Allen Poe’s poem “The Enigma.”

Exciting topic! As a handcrafted cinema maker myself, my mind immediately goes to Jan Svankmajer. Many of his films are based off of literary tales and stories. (From writers such as Lewis Carroll, Edgar Allen Poe, Horace Walpole, etc). Ah, and then thinking of Poe, I think of about Jean Epstein's Fall of the House of Usher. 
Best of luck!

  There are dozens, no, hundreds of poetry films and poetry videos (or videopoems), which is to says, films and videos that incorporate poetry and poetic texts on the sound track or in the images or both. Perhaps that is not the sort of thing you are looking for, but if it is I could send you titles of some of my favourite examples—though I have to say they would not include recent work (I haven’t paid any serious attention to poetry films/videos since the 1990s). The person who has paid attention to the whole development of poetry films/videos and has published a manifesto on the subject is Tom Konyves. I don’t think he would mind my giving you his email address: tomkonyves at gmail.com.
