A Portrait of Resilience as Filipino (2021)

Overview

Living in flood-prone Marikina City, a young filmmaker sifts through smudged memories taken over the past 12 years to cope with the repetitive cycle of typhoon onslaughts and evacuations. Through mythology, literature, and autobiography, this creative documentary narrates a reflexive inquiry of resilience and accountability, while attempting to salvage what was lost to water and time.
