Can images be poetic? Is there storytelling in a poem? How does poetry speak the language of the unconscious?
Following the Athenian premiere of the short film “How to Shoot a Ghost”—directed by Charlie Kaufman, written by Eva H.D., and supported by Onassis Culture—the director and writer will present a masterclass on cinema and poetry at the Onassis Stegi Main Stage.
In this anarchic and free-ranging talk, Charlie Kaufman and Eva H.D. will discuss the cinematic shorthand of poetry—a necessarily compact sequence of images—and the poetic expansiveness of film, in which the juxtaposition of imagery and language creates new, unexpected meaning. Along the way, they will touch on art, politics, stagnation, creative inspiration—and anything else that glitters from the depths.
