Lav Diaz – Ang alitaptap AKA The Firefly (2013)

A short film made for “Venezia 70 – Future Reloaded.”

The day will come

We shall set sail from the mysteries of mythologies
And i shall be singing hymns to set you free
All of the effort I put into 70 Hours Of Diaz and I somehow forgot that he had a short in Venice 70: Future Reloaded…

Outside of experimental affair like Let Your Light Shine or Brakhage’s hand painted affair where the film is 100% dedicated to an aesthetic and that’s what the film must be judged on alone it’s hard to muster the same enthusiasm on a narrative level you would for a 77 second short that you would for say, a 9 hour film for example.

I am mesmerized by the melancholic mood of this short/photograph with the old man and the perfect poem that resonates with it…fascinating and sobering.
