Now is the time to share the vision of the true poet with the world. This is an experimental portrayal of one of the most original and significant poets of the late 20th century.

The Slovenian documentary film Every True Poet is created by the same team that pitched a feature-length documentary about Šalamun at last year’s ZagrebDox Pro. The film is an experimental portrayal of one of the most original and significant poets of the late 20th century, Slovenian avant-gardist Tomaž Šalamun (1941‒2014). In the film, the poet offers insights into the nature of creativity and creative processes and reveals what they mean to him personally and to mankind.
