Poetry + Film / Hack presents both art-forms in collaboration, by adding live poetry readings to the viewing experience of magnificent films. We choose movies that are socially, politically or culturally resonant and by including poetry in their presentation, expand, deepen or highlight their themes.
Written and directed by Anand Gandhi, Poetry + Film / Hack presents Ship Of Theseus, an astonishingly beautiful and emotive film set in India, which questions identity, justice, beauty, meaning and death through the stories of an experimental photographer, an ailing monk and an enterprising stockbroker.
In the days leading up to our event, we encourage our attendees to watch the film – which is available and free to view on Youtube before attending. It is an epic, sweeping film - 2hr,23mins – so make time.
In our event, our esteemed poets – Sunnah Khan, Andrew McMillan, Ollie O’Neil, Warda Yassin and myself – will discuss the film, debut brand new commissioned poems written about the film, before taking questions from our audience.
We will also have a special guest, the writer and director, Anand Gandhi!
