Correfoc by Miriam Gamble

This poem film is one of four made by Bloodaxe poets in collaboration with award-winning filmmaker Ian Cottage in 2020. The poets were asked to create a poem in response to images that Ian had filmed pre-lockdown, in Spain and North East England. The result is four poem films made during the COVID-19 lockdown. The other three poem films were made with Robyn Bolam, Philip Gross and Helen Ivory (click on their names to view).
