THREE SHORT SILENTS ACCOMPANIED BY POETS
The Photo-Drama of Creation (FR/US 1914, Pathé Journal edition) non-fiction on sacred rituals in Japan, China, and India / accompanied by poet Mikko Myllylahti
Entr'acte (FR 1924, René Clair) the Dadaist short / accompanied by poet Eino Santanen
At Land (US 1944, Maya Deren) American avantgardist short / accompanied by poet Saila Susiluoto
This unique experiment was quite successful. The initiative came from the poets, themselves, and they carried it out very effectively. This is a new development of the original commentator / lecturer / benshi / musical accompaniment practice.
