Video Poetry Scribes with Northwest Film Forum for 9-12th grade
Video Poetry is a literary genre presented as visual media to make new meaning through the combination of text and moving image. In this camp, a partnership between Hugo House and Northwest Film Forum's Cadence Video Poetry Festival, students will write original poems and create short videos to accompany them. Students can expect to view examples of video poetry, write to poetry prompts, make story boards, and video poems. This camp requires some basic skills, but no video experience is required. The week will culminate with a presentation of student work.
This camp is for students entering 9-12th grade in Fall 2023 and will take place online using Zoom.
Scribes Summer camps are offered on a scaled registration rate in order to offer financially accessible programming for all youth. Payments above the 100% rate help offset costs that allow for accessible programming to continue. Donations of any amount can also be made upon registration. Scholarships are also available by filling out our scholarship application. Questions? Please email youth@hugohouse.org.
