If as yet you’re unfamiliar with the works of John Torres, you’re missing out on some of the best that Philippine cinema has to offer. The experimental filmmaker is a ways away his breakthrough short Salat (2004)—truly an indescribable feat of distinctly alarming immersion—enough to make up more than a day of looking back at his films. Perhaps one of the most poetic experimentalists of cinema, Torres follows up his short film with later works such as Hai, They Recycle Heartbreaks in Tokyo So Nothing’s Wasted (2009) and We Don’t Care For Democracy, This Is What We Want: Love And Hope And Its Many Faces (2010), which we’ll all be able to see in the film retrospective hosted by College of Saint Benilde.
As for me, I’ll finally get to see Lukas The Strange and Todo Todo Teros, two of Torres’ few full-lengths. (fTristan, this is my equivalent to your Violator. See, we all shoulder crusades each to our own. On that note, I’m happy you’re finally going to see it at Cinemalaya!)
The event is happening August 6 and 7 at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde School of Design and Arts Cinema. The tickets for the screening can be acquired for free by following this link. There are still a few available, but be prompt because they run out easily. Torres is coming over for a talk August 7 with fellow artist Merv Espina.
