In the fall of 2013, I organized the program series This is not a script, a co-production with Art Cinema OFFoff,
Poëziecentrum and LUCA School of Arts. This is not a script focused on works that, on the one hand,
sprouted from other ways of filming and writing, and, on the other hand, invited for other ways of looking and
reading. The program series consisted of a symposium and three film evenings, during which also poets were
interviewed about their experiments with images. On 8 November the series had a parallel program in Perdu
in Amsterdam.
