Lav Diaz : 2014
Mula sa kung ano ang noon
The Philippines, 1972. Mysterious things are happening in a remote barrio. Wails are heard from the forest, cows are hacked, a man is found bleeding to death at a crossroads and houses are burned. Military operations are becoming common. Brutal militias rule the countryside. Ferdinand E Marcos announces Proclamation No 1081, putting the entire country under martial law. The story revolves around the lives of poor villagers in one of the remotest regions of the Philippines before martial law was declared. Loosely based on real events and characters, the film examines how an individual and collective psyche responds to extreme and mysterious changes in social and physical environment. Lav Diaz's feature received the Grand Festival Prize at the World Premieres Film Festival 2014, and was winner of the Pardo d'oro at Locarno Film Festival 2014.
