Yesterday, the third of a series of poetry videos by Nyk de Vries as Dichter fan Fryslân premiered on Omrop Fryslân TV. The third poetry film is based on the poem Binman.
Seven poems by the Dichter fan Fryslân will be filmed in the project with filmmaker Herman Zeilstra. During this year several poetry videos will be broadcasted via Omrop Fryslân TV. The videos can then also be viewed online via the website of Dichter fan Fryslân, Leeuwarden City of Literature, LF2028, the Leeuwarder Courant, the Friesch Dagblad and the website of Omrop Fryslân.
