Movie-Inspired Haikus On Show Outside Park Slope Theater During Renovations

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — Haikus will fill the Pavilion Theater marquee as the building's interior undergoes renovations.

A set of movie-inspired haikus by the art installation duo Saint Flashlight will be displayed on the Pavilion Theater marquee for the next few months until the theater re-opens in winter 2018 as Nitehawk Cinema. Each haiku is named after the movie by which it was inspired

Saint Flashlight consists of poets Molly Gross and Drew Pisarra, who enjoy displaying poems in public settings. They recently worked on a project that involved haikus written on the walls of Crest True Value Hardware in Williamsburg in black electric tape.

Below are the three haikus posted on Nitehawk Cinema's website.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - Karen Hudes

seed from a book not

the screen she cracked it open

under the skylight

Saturday Night Fever - Diane Mehta
right down to my blood

fast-footed strut this disco

love these teenage feet

She’s Gotta Have It - Molly Gross

Nola Darling dreams

a story in black and white

loving herself first
