26 queer video poems
Neue Medien had started the video-poem competition
Pride-Poesie in summer 2021, funded by „Neustart Kultur“, so that more than two dozen German-language LGBTIQ lyricists could produce poetry short films. homochrom was their co-operation partner from the start and Martin Wolkner, homochrom founder and linguist, who had been in the Teddy jury of Berlin Film Festival in 2017, was appointed juror. He selected the best 26 submissions, and also designed, edited and created an
anthology featuring 25 of the poems on 186 pages, publishing it together with Michael Zgonjanin.
The book perfectly complements the videos, which can be watched on
Youtube as well as
Vimeo—and have surpassed more than 50.000 views totalled up.
