Curated some of my all time fav films for this program of docs shots in the Philippines at @MovingImageNYC , including the North American premiere of ALIPATO AT MUOG, Gianvito’s 4 hour+ WAKE (SUBIC), & other US premieres of PH Docs since 2000. May 22-31 movingimage.org/series/heart-o…

It was my pleasure to review Valentyn Vasyanovych's TO THE VICTORY! for @reverse_shot as part of their coverage of @MovingImageNYC's First Look Festival. It's a metatextual exercise in form and duration that's also about repair and making art after war. reverseshot.org/reviews/entry/…

Part of our ongoing Reverse Shot Presents series! An eternal favorite.
