StAnza: ‘A Place Called Poetry’

On 20 August, StAnza launched its new documentary film of this year’s festival, which took place in March this year. The film was previewed on YouTube, Facebook and has been uploaded on StAnza’s website, but this was the first time it had been screened in front of a live audience: during the ‘St Andrews: A Year of Celebration’ showcase in Edinburgh. The short film goes behind the scenes and captures the vibrant atmosphere of StAnza in its St Andrews setting.
