I made my first poetry videos on my cell phone just like this video. My video won the 2nd prize in an International Lahti Poetry Video Competition (2019). There were 101 poem videos in the competition. The video is based on a poem by Riika Helle-Kotka. 

​

"The video is a multi-directional work of art. It has a strong subjective tone that brings intimacy to it. The artists have worked hard for their poems, images and sound and the outcome is succesful. There is wealth in the diversity of these different elements, and when combined, they create an interesting work that can be watched many times without revealing its final mystery."
