The Film and Video Poetry Symposium writes:

"Alexis Krasilovsky is a pioneering poet and filmmaker in the genre of poetry films, blending the rhythmic beauty of poetic language with the visual dynamism of cinema. Her work in poetry film spans over 5 decades and explores themes of politics, identity, consciousness, and the human condition. Krasilovsky's films are notable for their often transgressive visuals and topics, her gifted ability for shifting lyrical interplay between image, sound, and text, and creating a unique sensory experience that evokes both imaginal depth and intellectual reflection.."
