Screening:
Not A Soul (2013)
14min
A man hides out in the mountains after accidentally killing a priest. However, the area is far from safe. Soldiers and rebels hunt one another there. The fateful location is visualised with a mixture of oppressive, moving and still, black-and-white images. Don’t move a muscle.

Ex Press (2012)
1h35m
Made on a modest budget, but with an immodest cinematographic eye. Fiction and fact are mixed as in a dream. A dream about trains and the sinister affairs that surround them. The young filmmaker only needed one take for each scene. A sharp eye. A steady hand.

Two Way Jesus (2016)
12min
In "Two Way Jesus", reality conquers fiction, and versa. The people of Cutud, Pampanga - celebrates the annual "Maleldo", the Crucifixation of Jesus Christ. This seemingly voyeurism approach tackles its participants and observer, religion and culture, and the power of new media in between.
