Join us for a virtuosic evening of poetry and film hosted by author and WritersMosaic Director Colin Grant. The event features poetry performances from Anthony Anaxagorou (founder of Out-Spoken Press) and Forward Prize-winner Marjorie Lotfi, as well as a screening of four short films drawn from their poems, beautifully created by filmmakers Savannah Acquah and Rob Akin.

Following the screenings poets and filmmakers will give behind-the-scenes insights into the construction of the films, riffing along the way on the history of poetry films and their challenges.
