SUMMARY:Good Boys Film Club Presents: Jean Cocteau’s ‘The Blood of a 
 Poet’
DESCRIPTION:Good Boys Film Club is proud to present a screening of Jean C
 octeau’s 1932 film ‘The Blood of a Poet’.\\nA landmark of early exp
 erimental film\\, ‘The Blood of a Poet’ imagines the plight of an art
 ist embarking upon creation\\, their journey woven through Surrealism’s
  magnificent tapestry and captured within a cinema of totalising affect. 
 Tracing the connective tissue between art\\, sacrifice\\, and the weight 
 of violence upon a shared consciousness\\, Cocteau crafts the syntax of s
 ubconscious feeling that would come to define the rest of The Orphic Tri
 logy. Arresting portraits of the inexpressible\\, vistas of oneiric quali
 ty\\, and vignettes of the repressed bursting forth all collate in wondro
 us montage\\, concretising the words of its creator: “Poets . . . shed 
 not only the red blood of their hearts but the white blood of their souls
 \\,”.\\nThe event consists of two parts\\, with the film being played t
 wice. The first screening will feature a live score by musicians TBC and 
 TBC\\, followed by a second screening where you\\, the audience\\, will p
 articipate. Instruments and various sound-making objects alike will be pr
 ovided\\, allowing you to soundtrack the film yourself and respond intuit
 ively to produce an open and discursive reflection on Cocteau’s work.\\
