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.

This Is Not A Short Film is a potpourri of seven short digital films by prolific Filipino director Khavn De La Cruz. Tin Can and Slippers, winner of the Special Mention Award Spazio Immagini at the 2005 Morbegno Film Festival in Italy, an ode to Piling, a young virtuoso of street soccer, has a surprise ending. It was shown in Germany during the cultural celebrations surrounding the World Cup. A winning film at the Oberhausen Short Film Festival, Rugby Boyz follows a band of young street kids who find pleasure not only in the title sport but also in diving into polluted waters, rapping at karaoke bars and sniffing paint thinner. Our Daily Bread shows a family that makes a living collecting garbage at the dump. Greaseman, which won the Tokyo Video Festival Excellence Award, uses a psychedelic style to show what happens when a homeless man and a yuppie loner collide. Two slapstick shorts, Small Ali and The Barong Brothers, combine cartoon violence and a Dadaist aesthetic. Mondo Manila, a free adaptation of an award-winning story by one of Khavn's frequent collaborators, Norman Wilwayco, is a cinematic version of the absurdist theater of cruelty, as a squatter poet takes his revenge on a privileged student. All seven of the films in this collection combine social consciousness, experimental visual style and, as background music that jumps out of the background, Khavn's own compositions.
