Filmpoem 4 / La Plage
Alastair Cook says: ‘The combination of film and poetry is an attractive one. For the poet, perhaps a hope that the filmmaker will bring something to the poem: a new audience, a visual attraction, the laying of way markers; for the filmmaker, a fixed parameter to respond to, the power of a text sparking the imagination with visual connections and metaphor. The poem ‘La Plage’ is by poet Jane McKie and is steeped in bright sunshine and knee-deep in children.’
