Adrian Frost's work Lysistrata premiered recently at the 2018 International Video Poetry Festival in Athens, Greece. The festival features video artists and poets from 25 countries. The sixth International Video Poetry Festival ran Jan. 19-20 in Athens.

Frost wrote, directed and produced the contemporary retelling of the Greek myths of Lysistrata and Odysseus, part of Frost's epic poem and film Furies. The video was shot in Carroll and Washington counties by cameramen Alexander Virden, Siddhartha Torre-Frost and Prince T (Tadeusz Ciesielski), an award-winning Polish cinematographer. The film stars Khalia Smith as Lysistrata, with beatbox by Damien Asbury and video editing by Travis Clark of Caveman Consulting.
