Once by Cecelia Chapman

Poet: | Nationality: | Filmmaker:

Cecelia Chapman shows how to turn a folktale into a compelling videopoem. (Is that a sickle in the moon-dancer’s hand? Nice touch!) The credits only appear on the screen for a nanosecond, but according to the notes on YouTube, include: “Grat Bodkin music. Christa Hunter. Tara Naqishbendi. Kara Chan. Fancy the dog. Jeff Crouch image.” Chapman also mentions that this was originally featured in The Houston Literary Review, and is part of her video series “Signs, Wishes & Wonders.”

    Thank you for posting this here very much… (actually the sickle is a crescent moon, and I just made up this story, it’s not a folktale…) I appreciate it! cece
