Danish term or phrase: poetiktekster
"Bogen består af poetiktekster, tekster om og til udvalgte film, synopser og tekster på mange af de film, der aldrig blev til noget og ikke mindst ideer til nye film."

(texts about) poetics
Explanation:
In Ordbog over det danske sprog they give this definition:
"læren om, reglerne for digte- kunsten; ogs. om en vis opfattelse af digtningens væsen, digterens kald og stilling osv"

So the English equivalent to "poetik" would be "poetics" i.e. the art of writing poetry and poetic theory or practice - and in this case the term seems to be used in relation to the "film language" used in Jørgen Leths films, hence the quote below.
