Poetry readings will feature: Eleni Sikelianos and Andrea Rexilius

"Jou Jou," or French for "little toy," is emblematic for the event which is carnival themed, exploring the darker side of childhood. Although TIE (The International Experimental Cinema Exposition) specializes in exposing the best of the best in obscure independent film, the founder, Chris May is particularly active in fitting the experimental film community in the wider artistic landscape. Cinema Jou Jou III is intended to be a decadent and playful celebration of poets meeting filmmakers, filmmakers meeting harp players, harp players meeting DJs, etc...
The Dikeou Collection is located in the Colorado Building, 1615 California St., at 16th St., Suite 515, Denver, 80202.
