Anyone lulled by Khavn's strikingly accessible Mondomanila is in for a shock. The Filipino film beast punishes his audience here again, just like old times. The form is powerful and avant-gardist and the subject is self-chastising. Incessantly. Khavn’s red period.
This travel-shockumentary-vampire fiction could well be a disguised ode to the Mondo films of Jacopetti, but with Khavn you never really know. Our guide is Kristo Vampiro, who admits in a voice-over that he is willing to go very far to quench his thirst for blood. The entirely blood-red images show the continual self-castigation of people in the street, juxtaposed with cock fights and acted crucifixions, complete with mouth-organ music.
According to Khavn, the film came about during a four-day tour of the Filipino archipelago which he gave an Italian friend. They stopped at the folk-&-roll bar Hobbit House, where all the waiters are dwarfs, and visited the Ringside brothel. They also stopped at several cock fights, which cost the losing gamblers a week’s income, but also made them believe that one good win could save them. Khavn also filmed the cemetery, 'maybe the only real utopia in Southeast Asia'.

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.

Khavn De La Cruz is a filmmaker, rock musician, poet and producer, the enfant terrible of low-budget (or no-budget) filmless films in the Philippines. The digital guerrilla turns his subversive gaze to the first Filipino postmodern play, 'The Trial of Mr. Serapio,' written in 1969 by Paul Dumont. An old beggar is brought before the Kafkaesque tribunal of 'the Federation,' a tyrannical government which accuses him of the crime of trying to raise a child! It doesn't seem to matter that Serapio's wife and child are both dead. The two pig-like judges threaten to blind him if he is found guilty. The millennial adaptation of the theme intersperses the black and white sixties-style play with Khavn's trademark bleached-out color footage. The idealistic Serapio plays his guitar and sings of the failures of the 'People Power Revolution' and walks through crowded streets. Festivals: Cinemalaya: Philippine Independent Film Festival 2010.
