In June 2009, Tamaas invited eight poets and filmmakers from France, Lebanon, Mexico, Morocco, and the United States, to Tangier, Morocco. These four poet-filmmaker pairs collaborated using Super 8 film and writing original text to create experimental “film-poems.”
Working under tight time constraints-- they had just four days to film, four days for sound, and four days for editing-- the artists took inspiration from the city of Tangier: its history, architecture, people, politics, as well as from each other, to produce the shorts shown here.
