Since 2014, the Festival de la Poésie de Montréal has celebrated videopoetry, a hybrid genre that straddles art-video, film, and literature. This unique form blends elements from these creative fields to create encounters between image, sound, and text, as well as between poets and filmmakers, all presented as short films.
Launched in 2016, the RVVP competition in partnership with Vidéographe is open to Quebec and Canadian poets and video artists from all horizons through a call for video-poems in French or with French subtitles.
The Rendez-vous Vidéopoésie will take place on Tuesday, May 28, at Cinéma Moderne, as part of the Festival de la Poésie de Montréal, running from May 26 to June 2, 2024. The event will feature an award ceremony with directors and poets in attendance.
