Still hoping to turn this into a book one day. I started a year or so ago, but I lost heart because I saw that a substantial part has already been appropriated by academics without referencing my work. I need to find a new, original approach now 🙄

Tie Xi Qu by #WangBing, #minute38 (x4). Cinema of immersion; #LavDiaz and WB's own The Ditch, though fiction, are for me primarily this, a narrative experienced rather than told. Herzog couldn't kill enough of himself (and Kinski) to move in that direction as far as he wanted.
Lav Diaz's six-hour-long film "Florentina Hubaldo, CTE" (2012) paints a bleak, horrific image of past- and present-day Philippines. A story of colonialism, of dictatorships, of poverty. A story of a self-destructive society. A film that changed me.

"There is no border in my films. You can see yourself in these stories. This is the greatest thing about the power of cinema. It's very present. It's all there. You can't escape it."
Born on this day: Lav Diaz (*30.12.1958)

Throwback to August 2014, when I was extremely lucky to meet Lav Diaz & Co at the Locarno Film Festival. Great memories (especially of the three-hour-long interview I could conduct with him)!
