Starfish Aorta Colossus

STARFISH AORTA COLOSSUS
Experimental Short, 2025, 8mm to HD Video, 5 mins
Director: Lynne Sachs & Sean Hanley // Poetry: Paolo Javier

Poetry watches film. Film reads poetry. Paolo Javier’s text, Starfish Aorta Colossus (For Frank Lima), 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.
