Filmetry Festival - Spartan Public Engagment Map

A film festival of filmic adaptations of poems, presented online. Peter Johnston organized the event, gathered the filmmakers, connected them with poets, organized the screening and did the publicity. The goals are to create new art, spur students to create something collaborative, and share our work with the public. He also completed a film as part of the festival which involved researching the Detroit 1967 uprising (the subject of the poem) and gathering archive materials to present in the piece.
