If you don’t have time to work your way through all 60-odd features legendary Filipino auteur Lino Brocka made between 1970 and 1991, let his compatriot and acolyte, video artist Khavn De La Cruz, fast-forward through them for you in this fragmentary, fired-up super cut. Khavn rifles through recurring motifs and obsessions in Brocka’s movies — embraces, confrontations, demonstrations, dreams — interspersing these thematic passages with Brocka’s quotes and brief snippets of biography.
Be aware: this is an experimental piece and the source material for the film clips is often old VHS tapes or online rips, the images degraded and full of grain, colour-bleed and shudder. We sense Lino would approve.
