"Etting was a pioneer who created cinematic forms that embodied poetic belief. This film represents a quest for an intensified perception of everyday life. Combining subjectivity, allegory, and lyric, POEM 8 foreshadows a method of filmmaking that would only be pursued by others a decade and a half later." - R. Bruce Elder
"I thought, how interesting it would be if we used the film in a different method. So far it had been used like a novel to tell a story, or else as a documentary and there was nothing else in between, and I wanted to use the film as a poetic medium, to do a poem like T.S. Eliot’s poems, and do it entirely visually and that’s how I came about to do my film I called POEM 8 and as far as I know it was the first film that experimented in that as a poetic medium." - Emlen Etting
