Places of Poetry
In 2019 we were commissioned by the University of Exeter to create a series of short films to support The Places of Poetry project. The project centres around a map of England and Wales and allows people to ‘pin’ original poems to places.
Places of Poetry
This documentary film was conceived as a piece that would give viewers the necessary information about the project, feature some of the poets and their poetry from around the country, and also have a feeling of poetry at its heart.
Presented by the poet and writer Paul Farley and featuring the work of poets from Stroud, Portsmouth and Liverpool it takes us on a journey to explore a small sample of the Places of Poetry project.
Alongside the main film we made three shorter films of the individual poets performing their work on location in Liverpool, Stroud and Portsmouth. The three poems are different in style and content, but are united by the fact that they centre a sense of place.
