“The complete length of ‘Ebolusyon ng Isang Pamilyang Pilipino’ was shown there first. The festival’s Hubert Bals Fund funded ‘Heremias’ and ‘Death in the Land of Encantos’ . The amounts were minuscule by majority of production standards, even in the Philippines, but I was shooting alone, anyway, so they were a big, big help.
“The band is a profoundly serious dirty-finger performance act,” Diaz pointed out. “We don’t rehearse, we just do it. In most of our performances and recordings, we just see each other in the studio, on the set or onstage, then we look at each other and decide on what key to start, and then larga na! The hardest part was always how to escape the beat and the rhythm because, at some point, during our jamming session—which usually runs for 40 hours—gumaganda na, at ayaw naming gumanda.
Incidentally, Dela Cruz’s two new films, “Nitrate: to the Ghosts of the 75 Lost Philippine Silent Films 1912-1933” and “National Anarchist: Lino Brocka,” will also have their premiere screenings at the IFFR. INQ
