Himala: Isang Diyalektika ng Ating Panahon
Lav Diaz
Reynan Abcede, Allen Alzola
To this day, Ishmael Bernal's movie Himala is still in our town, in our world. This will be reflected in the broader perspective of the majority, of the surrounding events. Beliefs still lie in the truth. Consciousness is still dominant at the level of illusion. The naive, savage, cruel, and selfish politics still prevail.
Himala: A Dialectic for Our Times
Ang mga Bulong sa Bituka ng Sta. Mesa
Hector Calma
This film is composed of black and white images from the somber depths of Manila’s Sta. Mesa district, which are juxtaposed in the railroad system that metaphorically connects the lives of each individual in the community. Captured by a single camera and a keen eye, each moving picture is accompanied by stories of grief, misery, hope and inspiration.
