Three Frisian poetry and film projects meet in the NFF special POËCINEMA. In the Arena of Neushoorn you will see Picture Poems by Metafoor Media and Tresoar, a live performance by Poet of Fryslân Nyk de Vries (including his film work) and filmed poetry from the Fries Film & Audio Archive.
POËCINEMA is supported by Leeuwarden UNESCO City of Literature. Order your free ticket (available november 1st) at the website of the Noordelijk Film Festival.
Arjan Hut will continue in his role as Poet Laureate of Fryslân through 2026. Earlier this year, the Provincial Council of Fryslân approved the extension of his appointment. Consequently, Hut, who was officially designated as Poet Laureate of Fryslân in 2023, will be able to continue his work and projects as the province’s poetic ambassador for one additional year. Among other activities, he will open a walking exhibition he has curated at the literature festival Meet Me at the Lighthouse in November, featuring unique book covers from Frisian poetry collections.
‘Not on Us’ is the latest poem by Arjan Hut as Poet of Fryslân. Today it can also be read in the Friesch Dagblad, the Leeuwarder Courant, and on the website of Omrop Fryslân.
