Raya Martin, INDEPENDENCIA, 2009
Fleeing the American invasion of the Philippines in the early 20th Century, a mother and her son retreat into the jungle. Ingeniously staged on fake sets to evoke the lost period of silent films, Independencia mixes melodrama with anti-colonial critique to recreate a pivotal moment in Filipino history. Raya Martin (b. 1984) is one of the most prolific and acclaimed young directors in South East Asia. Independencia, his sixth feature is part of a series recreating lost moments from Filipino history.
A double bill with Butterflies Have No Memories by Lav Diaz.
Dir. Raya Martin, 77mins, 2009, Philippines, France, Germany, Netherlands
