And just like that, officially one of my most anticipated films of the year.

Lost in Translation, one of my favorite films of all time, premiered at Telluride exactly 23 yrs ago.
To commemorate this, I thought I’d share my scene-by-scene recreation of Charlotte’s spiritual journey to Kyoto. Shot this when I visited Japan earlier this year. Core memory.

Masyado talagang late mag-announce ang Pinas ng Oscar entry. Other countries are already running sprints at this stage of the game while we’re still tying our shoelaces. If we really want to be nominated (or at least, make the shortlist), then that needs fixing.

Filipino Animation and Cinema fans, pay attention!
58th by Carl E. Papa is a docudrama on the missing remains of a photojournalist among the victims of the 2009 Maguindanao Massacre.
Over a hundred animators rotoscoped real archive footage from the massacre's aftermath.

Fancy seeing MAGELLAN making it to Gold Derby’s 15 Best International Film predictions (experts and users combined)! The Philippines has never been shortlisted at the Oscars before, and if there’s any filmmaker fit to end that drought, it’s Lav Diaz. 🇵🇭 Fingers crossed!

Lav Diaz’s Magellan is haunting, gorgeously shot, and deeply cerebral.
“The film demands your attention and immersion.” — Wanggo Gallaga

MAGELLAN: Uses its multitude of incident and this particular era of desperation in its central figure’s life as an evocation of the various forms of power; Diaz’s cold control amid the historical epic scale is invigorating, expansive while remaining resolutely his own work.
