Visual Poetry with Viktoria King
Creator Viktoria-Isabella I.V. King is a motivated activist and filmmaker whose drive for new projects is incredible to witness. We’ve both migrated to the West Coast in recent months, and it’s been great to finally get a chance to work with her after these years of knowing her!
Her newest project is a visual poem, created for the Visible Poetry Project. “Freeze Your Brain”, written by high-school student Amelie Caceres. An insightful and impactful meditation on what it means to succeed at what adults say is ‘right’, this short film has taken off — it’s now an Official Selection for the largest poetry film festival in the world, the Zebra Poetry Film Festival.
You can watch the film here, or see screen grabs of it on Viktoria’s website.
