> Monica de la Torre, who chose a Mexican source, a 91 minute film made in
> that country in 1952 by Luis Bunuel entitled “A Woman Without Love”.
> Though there was what Abigail Child termed “intrigue in the subtitles”, our
> editing processes were dissimilar and I found myself admiring the variety
> of formally-innovative strategies by which English was added to the moving
> images on the screen rather than being able to quarry it for my
> own purposes. Her formal reading, which followed the less formal seminar,
> consisted of the presentation of two unpublished literary manuscripts and
> then a screening of the twelve minute film “Mirror World”, a collaboration
> with the poet Gary Sullivan who chose a 150 minute Bollywood film as their
> source. For more on Abigail Child, who has published four books of poetry
> and a prose book on the relationship between film and poetry, in addition
