17. Filmpoem 7/ -ed
1 year ago
-ed is my film of a poem by Mairi Campbell-Jack, from her as yet unpublished (nudge) collection This is a Poem. You can read more of Mairi's work on her Twitter stream: twitter.com/lumpinthethroat
It took a long time for me to begin this filmpoem for two reasons: I have been busy with this summer's solo film and photography show as part of the Edinburgh Festival; also the poem is dark and yet meditative, lifting to a powerful crescendo and as a result I felt that I needed to introduce a figurative element. So I ruminated...
-ed was premiered at the Hidden Door 2 in October 2010 and will be shown at StAnza, the Scottish Poetry Festival, from 16-20th March 2011.
All of the filmpoems can be viewed at filmpoem.com and my work as an artist lives at alastaircook.com/
With thanks to David Fyans, who can be found at erstlaub.co.uk/wordpress/

1 year ago Wow, man, this was worth the wait! Your most powerful filmpoem to date, I think. (And certainly your longest, innit?) -
Alastair Cook 1 year ago Thanks Dave, that's appreciated! It is long, and there are a few in the pipeline too...one of which is 6 minutes.

Chih-Peng Lucas Kao 高智鵬 1 year ago Nicely done with the mixing footage, like the pacing of the image matching with the poem reading, was it mixted with super8, 16 or archive footage? -
Alastair Cook 1 year ago Thanks Lucas. It's a mix of Super8 and miniDV. The Super8 is overexposed because the camera was broken...
