Honored to see my cinepoetry collaboration with Lynne Sachs included in a program of films by several big time film idols of mine, including Tiffany Sia, Chris Marker, and Jane Campion. “Starfish Aorta Colossus” adapts the serial poem of the same name appearing in my 2015 book ‘Court of the Dragon’ (Nightboat Books). I made the poem in tribute of the late poet+chef Frank Lima, who was my mentor & friend. Please check out the program, & thank you for your watching!

Please join filmmaker Lynne Sachs & I this Saturday at Millennium Film Workshop for The Poetic Lens, an anthology screening of cine-poems that will also include our film SWERVE, which we shot in Elmhurst at the height of the pandemic, & based on my book of comics poetry O.B.B. aka The Original Brown Boy (Nightboat Books 2021).

Here are a few links to articles covering SWERVE, with amazing photos of the shoot & insightful interviews with the filmmaker and cast members:

- Excellent profile of the film by Tammy Scileppi of QNS.COM

- Profile/review of the film by Filipino critic Harold Gambill that provides additional links, including to a podcast featuring Lynne and I discussing our collaboration

- And a sweet review of the film by Paul Enicola

Starfish Aorta Colossus @ Anthology Film Archives

film by Lynne Sachs and Sean Hanley, poem by Paolo Javier 4 min. 42 sec. 2015

Poetry watches film. Film reads poetry. Paolo Javier’s text is a catalyst for the digital sculpting of an 8mm Kodachrome canvas. Syntactical ruptures and the celebration of nouns illuminate twenty-five years of rediscovered film journeys.

@ the Black Maria Film Festival

Program: NEEDS, WANTS, CONSTRAINTS, AND FEARS

Filmmakers search through 25 years of footage, a woman takes a fantastical journey through memories, and we see a haunting portrait of the fragile future of films made on film.
