'Eight days before Christmas, Typhoon Sendong ravaged a small city in the northern coastline of the Philippines, burying most of it in water. 8,128 families displaced; almost 5000 dead; at least a thousand missing, most of them presumed to have been drwned alive. Three weeks after, a man is found walking around the city in broad daylight, a dead 'baby' in his arms. He wanders around the business district, dogged by local who wondered, sympathized, empathized. Following the ghost of his wife, he walks on until he reaches a river and drowns himself.' – Khavn

Philippine New Wave
directed by Khavn De La Cruz, 1973- (Philippines: Privately Published), 1 hour 13 mins
Not so much a documentary, nor a compendium of interviews, but an almost rarefied glimpse into a wholesale revolt from a rigid paradigm long upheld by the west as the only way to make a film. If you want to see how technology has democratized cinema, here is the tip of a massive iceberg.
