Poetry Expo 23
Title: Emmett (til de remix) (2019)
Director: Masahiro Sugano
Country: United States
Poet: Avery R. Young
Poem: Emmett
This spoken word film honors poetry, life and movement building. This is for the poet as much as the people who have come before and who will continue to come after – who speak truth to power and who will always fight on the side of justice, equality and freedom.

Title: Évian (2020)
Director: Ghayath Almadhoun
Country: Germany
Poet: Ghayath Almadhoun
Poem: Évian
The film begins in our days when a boat of refugees collapses in the sea. Suddenly, we find ourselves witnessing the tragedy of the Évian Conference in 1938, which was held to discuss the crisis of Jewish refugees. No one has learned the lesson.
Internationals short films based on poems that show what opportunities are available.
The project is part of the subtheme Opportunity.
