Beatrice of 9 John Cannizzaro, 2017

What began as an experimental film attempting to use poetry to understand and cope with a loss slowly evolved into a poetic film that uses experimentation as a means to discovery. Beatrice of 9 is a multilayered, experimental documentary on loss, poetry, Dante, and Film making a meditation consisting of nine short Cinepoems, an analysis of their content and composition, and ultimately a personal journey into the creative process.
