HNA 2023 Haibun Film Festival
Call for Submissions

 
Want to see one of your haibun made into a film?


Poetry films have never been hotter, and haibun is trending among English-language writers. Why not put them together for a haibun film festival at the 2023 Haiku North America conference in Cincinnati, to be held June 28 to July 2? Partnering with Moving Poems, an expanding online archive of poetry videos, Haiku North America invites you to submit your original English-language haibun for filmmakers to consider making into a short film.

                   Submission deadline: October 15, 2022

What to submit? Up to two haibun that you believe are narratively strong and invite interpretation in film. Haibun must be previously unpublished and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Please send your haibun directly in the body of your email. If any of your haibun require special formatting, please also attach a PDF containing the entire haibun in your entry. Please note that filmmakers may need to ignore certain formatting preferences if they present all or part of your text on screen. Films will be a maximum of five minutes long.

Where to submit? Send your haibun in the body of an email (preferred) or also in a PDF attachment if the haibun requires special formatting to HNAhaibunsubmissions@gmail.com.  Please also include your name as you wish it to appear in print or in the film, and your city, state/province, and country.

When to submit? August 24 through October 15, 2022.

Who can submit? Anyone except organizers of the 2023 Haiku North America conference. You do not have to attend the conference to have your haibun selected, so you can submit haibun even if you are unable to attend.

Is there an entry fee? No.

What happens after I submit my haibun? All haibun submissions will be evaluated anonymously by noted haibun writers, and selected haibun will be sent to Moving Poems as possible inspiration for new short films. Moving Poems will issue a call for new haibun films based on the selected haibun. A small number of haibun films will be selected by a panel consisting of filmmakers and the curators at Moving Poems. The selected films will be screened for the first time in a session devoted to haibun film at the 2023 Haiku North America conference in Cincinnati and published online on Moving Poems.

If someone makes of film of my haibun, will the text of my haibun be included in it? Yes. How the text of your haibun is included in the film is at the discretion of the filmmaker, but the entire text will be included either visually or orally or in combination.
