Images first, words later: a comic instruction manual for films that invent themselves
August Klar has a dream: He wants to make a film unlike anything that’s ever been made before. But how do you actually make a film? As August tries to turn his ideas into reality, his grand ambitions clash with his lack of experience and a reality that doesn’t always stick to the script. “How to Poetry Film” follows the young slam poet on his unusual journey from the initial idea to the creation of his film—navigating between euphoria, creative highs, and the inevitable crash. A playful mockumentary about the attempt to bring an idea to life, and about what happens when you simply turn the rules of filmmaking on their head.
