The platform "Words, Words, Words!" is organized by Christina Sgouromyti, Georgia Tsismetzoglou and Sozita Goudouna / Out of the Box Intermedia

The platform "Words, Words, Words!" is inspired and focused on the movement of Lettrism centered on the objectivity and materiality of the word.

The Lettrism movie uses the word as an extra dimension additional to the image in order to obtain the power of narrative and to present it as it is. The film tribute will feature the manifesto of lettrism cinema:

- "Traité de bave et d 'éternité", 1951 to Isidore Isou
- "Le film est déjà commence?", 1951's Maurice Lemaitre
- "L 'anticoncept", 1952's Gilles Wollman
- "Closed Vision", 1954's Marc 'O

The film that influenced the movement, "Orpheus", 1949 by Jean Cocteau and three samples of the influence of the movement in the history of cinema, the films "Hurlements en faveur de Sade" in Guy Debord, "Made in USA", 1966, and "2 or 3 things I know about her ", 1967's Jean Luc Godard.

The art exhibition "Words, Words, Words" brings together artists and researchers in fields that include visual arts, dance and visual poetry, in order to re-approach the historic movement and the relationship of art and experimental writing. Participating artists: Valaoritis Nanos, Irini Gonou, Eleni Iconomou & George Papadopoulos, Panagiotis Papafragos, N. G. Pentzikis, Christina Sgouromyti, Juliana Borinski, Tamarin Norwood, Stéphane Graff.
