Esteemed Friends, Artists and Collaborators,

The 1st LATIN AMERICAN POETIC SHORT FILM FESTIVAL at the acclaimed NUYORICAN POET'S CAFÉ will feature Poetic short films by Latin American Filmmakers. Our mission is to support the emerging Independent Filmmaker by providing exposure in the Down Town Cultural Center of Manhattans’ Lower Eastside. At the NUYORICAN POETS CAFÉ Filmmakers can present their work to a diverse audience in an intimate atmosphere, meet and exchange ideas.

The LATIN AMERICAN POETIC SHORT FILM FESTIVAL is scheduled for September 2008.

"Poetic Film is a combination of expressive image and sound. It is original and personal. It need not be about poetry and yet, it can be set to poetry. It is lyrical, dreamlike, expresses new ideas, evokes emotion, triggers thought and heightens the spirit. If we are fortunate, Poetic Film may some day be uncovered for us to discover."
