HOT SHOTS presents:
Retrospective Lav Diaz in Berlin
In cooperation with Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin (dffb) and Arsenal we are going to present a retrospective on Philippine filmmaker LAV DIAZ in october. The line-up includes his newest work “Melancholia” (2008), which was just awarded the Special Mentions Prize of the Orizzonti-Section at the Venice Film Festival.
His works will be shown from october 25th-november 1st in the cinemas of Arsenal and dffb. LAV DIAZ will be in Berlin himself for Q&A and a lecture series for students of the dffb.
LAV DIAZ is one of the most interesting current Philippine filmmakers. His use of digital technology has inspired many artists of the younger generation like John Torres and Khavn De La Cruz, who presented their works at this year’s ASIAN HOT SHOTS BERLIN and Berlinale Forum.
Look forward to a great cinematic autumn… or to put it into the words of Lav’s Venice acceptance speech: “Long live Philippine cinema!”
