| Summary |
Following the internationally acclaimed *Norte, the End of History*, Filipino master Lav Diaz returns to one of his enduring themes - the historical rift and ongoing trauma caused by the Marcos regime - with the extraordinary five-and-a-half-hour epic, FROM WHAT IS BEFORE, which examines the conditions that laid the groundwork for Marcos's rise. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival**. Winner of the Don Quixote Award, the FIPRESCI Prize, the "Environment Is Quality of Life" Prize, Best Actress (Hazel Orencio), and the Golden Leopard at the **Locarno International Film Festival**. *"FROM WHAT IS BEFORE is a striking example of Slow Cinema: over the course of 338 minutes, Diaz creates a narrative in two parts, with the country's historical cataclysms haunting the events of the first half and culminating in the second." - Alexandra Zawia, **Cinema Scope*** *"... Hauntingly beautiful..." - Justin Chang, **Variety*** |
