The film House of Knives was made in July 2012 to promote the work of the Rimbaud and Verlaine Foundation and its plan to create a European style ‘poetry house’ at No 8 Royal College Street in Camden. It is based on a script by the award-winning poet and librettist David Harsent, is directed by Graham Henderson and produced by Carmela Pietrangelo.
The film was made by Poet in the City, a leading charity, as a means of launching the Foundation, and was made in partnership with University College London, and supported by Pernod Absinthe. The film was first shown at the W Hotel in Wardour Street in November 2012.
