Film-maker John Scott reports that his short film based on
Elizabeth Bishop’s poem “First Death in Nova
Scotia” continues to receive attention and screenings
around the world. After a successful screening at the Atlantic Film Festival in
Halifax, N.S.,
in September 2012, John writes that “First Death” played at the Co-Kisser Film
Festival (http://www.co-kisser.com/) in
Minnesota. It
has also screened at Visible Verse Film Festival (http://www.cinematheque.bc.ca/visible-verse-festival-2012)
in Vancouver.
It will screen in the ZEBRA Film Festival (http://www.zebra-award.org/)
in Berlin and will then tour in Lithuania
in Tarpfest, as part of the touring section of the ZEBRA festival. John expects
the film will be published in an online literary magazine in January 2013.
We’ll certainly let you know when that happens. His three short Bishop films
(“First Death in Nova Scotia,” “Sandpiper,” and “One Art”) will play in a film series at the
Minnesota Public Library in the spring of 2013. Congratulations to John on his
the success with these shorts, which are all in advance of a full-length
documentary about Bishop on which he is working. John will also begin to shoot
an adaptation of Bishop’s poem “In the Waiting Room” in Nova Scotia in January 2013. Stay tuned!
