Poetry Project

Poet in Residence

Each year our Poet in Residence, Nancy DeJoy, curates a group of poets to view films that are screened at the Festival and then compose original poems based on their viewing experience. Some are performed live at the Film Festival while others have been recorded here to document this year’s project.
