03-03-2015 – Film Screening: Bernard Heidsieck, la poésie en action at Wiels

The film, directed by Anne-Laure Chamboissier and Philippe Franck, with Gilles Coudert, is an intimate portrait of Bernard Heidsieck. It invites you to travel in the “double life” of this artist and banker and his work, through a series of conversations and unpublished audiovisual documents. Interviews with other major figures of sound poetry enrich this testimony. Jean-Pierre Bobillot, Olivier Cadiot, Laurent Cauwet, Anne-James Chaton, Paul-Armand Gette, John Giorno, Bernard Heidsieck, Françoise Janicot, Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux and Jean-Jacques Lebel paint a vivid picture of the history of poetry sound and its current developments.

A meeting with the filmmakers will follow the screening.
