IN AN IDEAL WORLD I’D NOT BE MURDERED
A COLLECTION OF 12 POETRY FILMS


Poetry film is an ideal medium to express the non-linear, fractured nature of traumatic experience that can bear a burden that seems impossible.


Trailer: ‘It was an ordinary evening, drear, overcast…’ Hooked is a poetry film with two voices – one voice speaking an internal song. It is a way of re-telling stories without re-traumatising or fetishizing the events surrounding it.

“a work of transformation”

“tales of desperation with lighter moments of laughter and surprising autonomy”

“a vital examination of the underworld of prostitution so few of us really know about”

“ultimately an uplifting tale”
