“I read somewhere that one (feeling) that lingers the most is loneliness — sadness. I’m not a lonely person, I’m not a sad person; but I’ve realized that many of my films have an introspective quality about them.”

MANILA

ADOLFO ALIX JR., RAYA MARTIN Philippines, 2009

An inventive and unusual independent film, Manila (co-directed by Adolf Alix and Raya Martin) is a fiercely inventive diptych shot in 16mm black and white. A fine introduction to the fertile (but too often ignored) world of contemporary Filipino cinema.
