Cadence Video Poetry Festival – you flew from my eyes

Giving shape and voice to what’s felt but can’t always be seen, touched, or retrieved, these video poems meditate on the marks we leave and with which we are left. Between earthly boundaries and open sky, dances, phone calls, and a trampoline become buoys for self and other within the sea of time.

This showcase features “The Sky After Rain (Aseman Bad Az Baran),” a poetic screendance from Australia. Written after the arrest of his boyfriend during Iran’s 2009 Green Movement protests, this soaring work is based on a poem by exiled Iranian poet, Payam Feili.
