Dear Friend,

I thought you might be interested in our PoetryFilm DVD collection:

Semaphore Films announce the launch of the UK's first PoetryFilm DVD anthology.


POETRYFILM VOL. I

The poets and filmmakers included in this 
anthology are pioneers and visionaries
in the field of poetryfilm. This disc, featuring 
avant-garde films exploring the
creative relationship between poetry and film, is the first of its kind in the
UK.

For those of you new to the genre, these poemfilms represent a small
cross-section fo the extraordinary films out there, most of which have been
ignored by the mainstream film industry.

For those of you already familiar with poetryfilm, this is the first chance to
own a selection of poemfilms screened at the cult London PoetryFilm Night
events.
