What if film asked poetry for a dance? Whose step lead? Who would spin under whose arm? Which one would set the rhythm?

Poetry Shorts submerges you in the intimate dynamic between poetry and film, allowing the two to tell a story together. Their dance guides your gaze through themes of uprootedness, invasive desire, and our relationship with time—saying just enough while leaving space for your own mind to dance along. The last dance belongs to Allen Ginsberg and his birthday seen through the eyes of a contemporary artist whose name is no less known.
