SWERVE
Short, 2022, 2K Video, 8 mins
Director: Lynne Sachs // Poetry Paolo Javier

A food market and playground in Queens, NY becomes the site for this film inspired by Paolo Javier’s Original Brown Boy poems. The film itself transforms into an ars poetica/cinematica—a meditation on writing and making images in the liminal space between a global pandemic and what might come next—as five New York City performers speak in verse while wandering through food stalls in search of a new sensation.

Screenings: BAMCinemfest '22 (World Premiere)
