En blanco (In white) by Gabriel Vallecillo
Poem and film by Gabriel Vallecillo, a young Honduran poet and filmmaker “currently exploring VJing poetry and applying poetry to Live Cinema performances,” according to his Vimeo profile.

| sonriendo en blanco sangrando en blanco memorizando en blanco gritando en blanco amando |
smiling in white bleeding in white memorizing in white screaming in white loving |

touching in white fingering in white praying believing god!! disconnecting switching off in white |

Experimental video poem by Donna Kuhn — “an exploration of grief, a tribute to a friend who is gone.”
Alphabet by Natalie d’Arbeloff
Video by British artist Natalie d’Arbeloff. I think it’s interesting how the poem here is intrinsic to the film itself; the text would be difficult to extract and fairly meaningless as a static object without the interplay with the images.
