Louisville filmmakers Steven Matthews and Chad Thomas, will premiere films featuring the poetry of two University of Louisville students, Jake Snider and John David Baumgarten. The filmmakers and poets will be available for questions following the screening.
Following these films, Jean Cocteau's The Blood of a Poet, will be screened. A landmark of surrealist cinema, Cocteau's first film attempts to reveal the inside of a poet's mind, using a panoply of trick effects and extraordinary juxtaposition to do so.
