Movies, Popcorn and Poetry


Whilst still operating under straitened circumstances, I'm amazed to be able to post the following link, which gives you words and pictures and sound!

A couple of years ago, Dumfries and Galloway Arts Association ran a competition for kinetic poems, and the winning entries were animated by Motion Blur.
Well, I got one in, as did;
and Hugh Bryden (of Roncadora Press fame),
whilst Vivien Jones http://bassviol.blogspot.com/ got two!
I suspect Edwin Morgan, Tom Leonard and Don Paterson did not have to enter to get theirs included.

I had a DVD of the winning entries, but lent it to shug http://drumsleet.blogspot.com/ for a look and he lost it. Now I've found a mysterious link online, which takes you to those winning entries. Including mine. They are all very different; my favourite changes each time I watch, but I think my heart lies with the Don Paterson. I wonder why, right now...?
So draw the curtains, pop the corn, sing ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, baa-ba-ba, ba-baa-ba-baa, ba-ba-ba-baaaa, BA!, click and enjoy.

Here's the link: http://www.dgaaweb.net/
