The aim of this session is to think about poetry and film together, without resorting to such fuzzy terms as "poetic" applied to film, or "cinematic" applied to poetry. In spite of the radical difference between writing and film, the poetry of Philippe Jaccottet and the cinema of Robert Bresson, for example, have many points in common, particularly a concern for the immediate phenomenological world, and a belief that the real lies "in the interval", or "in between". Each uses specific strategies, in verse and prose, or in mise-en-scene and editing, to make that interval perceptible, though vacant.
