I neglected to mention any British filmmakers in my first response. There's
Derek Jarman's poetry in *The Garden*. Jarman's cottage, which appears in
the film, is decorated John Donne's "The Sun Rising," though I can't
remember if this is legible in the film. Also, you might want to consider
some
Bryan Konefsky's *A Junky's Christmas*. An interesting use of William S.
Burrough and *It's a Wonderful Life.*

Exciting topic! As a handcrafted cinema maker myself, my mind immediately goes
You might show Christopher Maclaine's The End as an example of the
incorporation of Beat literary style in film. The soundtrack can be considered
a reading of a work of Beat literature written specifically for the film. (And
it's readily available on DVD.)

Exciting topic! As a handcrafted cinema maker myself, my mind immediately

and stories. (From writers such as Lewis Carroll, Edgar Allen Poe, Horace

There are dozens, no, hundreds of poetry films and poetry videos (or
videopoems), which is to says, films and videos that incorporate poetry and
poetic texts on the sound track or in the images or both. Perhaps that is not
the sort of thing you are looking for, but if it is I could send you titl
One obvious move would be to look at compare/contrast the various versions of
Fall of the House of Usher--Curtis Harrington, Watson, Epstein…and Corman.
But also Larry Jordan's HD Trilogy and Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

I'd look at Sitney's *Eyes Upside Down*; it's a fascinating look at the
American cinematic avant-garde in relation to the literary legacy of
Emerson. I'm sure Scott MacDonald's work would be really helpful here too.
As far as specific films go, from the top of my head I would list

Hello,
I am doing my PhD research on Gregory Markopoulos. Markopoulos has based on
ancient and modern literature in many of his films. For example, Psyche from
his trilogy, The Illiac Passion, Twice a Man etc. Let me know if you need any
more information. Good Luck!
