I AM A FILM


Poster image I AM A FILM

Shot on location at the Low Four studio in Manchester, this film features poet Stephen Watts reciting his poem _I AM A FILM_, a coda to _The Liberated Film Club_ by Stanley Schtinter. Accompanied by the filmmaker who films him in a way that merges his presence with the recitation, the process unfolds through the use of analog material, close-ups of his face and expressions, and the grain of his voice, while scenes outside the studio freely enhance the poem's theme.

The Film That I Am

Once upon a time, there was a poet
Once upon a time, there was a filmmaker
Once upon a time, there was a studio session

Coda
The shift from a suspended phrase
To a conclusive phase
The words of Stephen Watts
In the book of Stanley Schtinter
Return to liberation

They are languages
Language of light
Language of ripples

Urgent and radical prose pieces
They inscribe themselves in a fragile space
Where the breath cannot disintegrate
So much so that it can still make whistle
The scratches of a song
On a mute tongue

I am a film
You are a film
We are a film
