00:00Mula sa mga mapanuring pelikula na sumasalamin sa mga nakatagong realidad ng Pilipinas,
00:06hanggang sa mga likhat nungkong sumayaman at masasabing komplikadong kasaysayan ng bansa,
00:11patuloy na pinapatunayan ni Lab Diaz kung bakit siya hinirang na ideological father of the new Philippine cinema.
00:19Kilalanin natin ang Batikang Director sa likod ng historical epic na Magellan, dito lang sa Power Talks.
00:30Direk Lab, naku, magandang araw po sa inyo and maraming maraming salamat at pinaunlakan niyo kami ngayong araw na ito.
00:37Maraming araw po. Great to be here.
00:40Thank you for coming all the way here to our little set-up.
00:43Maradating niyo lang galing Malaysia po.
00:45Oo, tumambay lang sa Malaysia.
00:48We attended the ASEAN International Film Festival.
00:51Okay. 2% Magellan po ba?
00:54They banned Magellan.
00:55Ah.
00:55Iyon yung opening film but because of Saria Law, they didn't realize na the whole film, puro hubad na Pilipino doon.
01:04So, hindi ko rin show it because of the Islamic law.
01:07Uh-huh.
01:07Yeah.
01:08Ah, okay. So, what happened pagpunta niyo doon?
01:11Pagdating na paglapag sa Kwaadalu po, nalaman namin na, oh, binatuloy yung opening screening because of the Saria Law.
01:19So, we have to respect that. Islamic law.
01:22Ah, okay.
01:22Okay naman yun.
01:23Okay lang. So, pero nagkarant pa rin po ba kayo ng discussions about the film or yung mga wala na?
01:27Hindi na.
01:28Ginigyan ako ng Lifetime Achievement Award in sa festival.
01:31Oh, congratulations!
01:33Yung ginigyan din ang plak eh, naibenta ko na sa magbabakal.
01:37So, may kinita ko ng kontrol.
01:39Yung ba ginagawa niyo sa mga...
01:413 kilos siya, so, naka-158 pesos ako.
01:45No, no, thank you.
01:45Ah, sobrang detalyado na hindi ko alam kung maniniwala ko.
01:48Thank you, Arfa, for the award.
01:50It's okay.
01:51Well, we do know, Direk Lab, that you are an award-winning director, of course.
01:54And so much of your work has already been awarded, recognized.
01:58Nila dito sa Pilipinas, kasi pati na rin sa ibang bansa.
02:01So, kami tong tuwa at makakausap po namin kayo ngayong araw.
02:04And siyempre, yung film that's really making a lot of noise recently is Magellan.
02:08Kasi it's in the running as an entry for the Oscars.
02:12Ano po pa kinamdam nun?
02:14For the country, it's great.
02:17Wala pa tayong pelikula kasi na nakapasok man lang sa Oscars,
02:22kahit sa first base, so to speak.
02:25Na ma...
02:27Ma-shoot list.
02:28Wala pang short list nila, kasi re-reviewin.
02:30Hindi naman, ibig sabihin, mahina yung films natin.
02:33We lack support.
02:35We don't have the money.
02:36Kasi it's a campaign thing, eh.
02:40To be short listed.
02:43Sa ibang bansa, they're spending 15 million dollars.
02:47Campaign pa lang yun.
02:49Sa atin, we're spending how much?
02:51500,000 pesos?
02:521 million pesos?
02:54So, yeah, hindi...
02:58With Magellan, we got lucky kasi kinuha siya ng Janos Films.
03:03It's a big distribution company in North America.
03:08So, may...
03:08nabawas na yung load ng promotion.
03:12So, they're doing their own campaign, Janos Films, sa North America.
03:17Like, I was there, you know, three weeks ago, na-involved sa New York Film Festival, yung film, and we did some promotions there.
03:27And then, sa LA, may mga screenings sa AFI, Santa Barbara.
03:31Binala kong sumayaw sana, pero ayaw nilang, just to promote it.
03:37But yeah, it's for the country, you know.
03:39To be very honest,
03:41hindi naman natin kailangan Oscars for...
03:43para magkaroon ng affirmation yung works ng Filipino filmmakers.
03:47But yeah, it's for the country, yeah.
03:51Suntuk sa buano, but we try, we campaign.
03:53When you say, you campaign, that the films have to campaign for you?
03:56It's really campaigning. Oscars is campaigning.
03:58Para sa eleksyon.
04:00You deal with the industry people, with the Hollywood artists, the mga union doon.
04:07Pinapakain sila, may mga screenings ka.
04:10Voting member ako eh.
04:12Ah, okay.
04:13So, you receive these invitations, mga VIP things.
04:16Para maka... para mapanood yung film?
04:19Para matandaan nila yung pelicula.
04:21Ah, okay.
04:21Kung voting times, gano'n bang yun?
04:24It's a campaign thing.
04:26Electoral.
04:27Kasi yung nangyari, may mga film academies ng mga bawat country, no?
04:32So, it's been nominated by the film academy of the Philippines to represent the country.
04:36Andoon pa lang tayo sa nomination.
04:38So, the next step is shortlist na.
04:42Doon pa lang, campaign na yun.
04:43Ako na yung ereksyon na yun.
04:44And ito yung nalalaman ng December?
04:47December 16 yata.
04:48Oh, okay.
04:49December.
04:50Okay.
04:51So, parang yung pagkakadescribe nyo, parang whatever accolade the film will get for you,
04:58it's not a personal thing.
04:59It's really more for the country.
05:01Parang sa'yo, hindi na, hindi na important it personally.
05:04It's for the country.
05:05It's for Philippine cinema.
05:07It's for the Philippine pride.
05:09But, ano yung nag-udyok sa'yo na gawin itong particular na film na ito, itong Magyela?
05:14Well, it's us.
05:15It's so connected.
05:16We're so connected with the Magyela narrative.
05:20Doon nag-umpisa yung katolisismo.
05:22Nung dumating siya noong 1521.
05:24That was the start of the Philippine conversion.
05:27Mga animis tayo noon, we became Christians, so to speak.
05:31Ang laking bagay yung nabalikan yun.
05:36Kasi yung pagiging Kristiyano ng Pilipinas, it started in Cebu in March of the 16th century.
05:45Mas mahirap po ba sa inyo to tackle a historical, I mean a film that's historical nature,
05:51that has so much of itself rooted in, you know, what we learned in school?
05:56Hindi naman.
05:57If you do your homework, meaning you do your research, parang simple buhay lang siya.
06:04It's a period film, pero I did my research for seven years.
06:09So, buong buo, when we started shooting the film, things come, you know, the information that I got,
06:15researching for seven years, so madali lang siya.
06:19Hindi siya mahirap actually.
06:21Mahirap sa mga manggagawa to work six months, you know, in the mud, in the waters, in the cold,
06:27living with snakes and mosquitoes, so yun yung mahirap.
06:31Lagi kang kawaway yung mga manggagawa, and you have to take care of them.
06:34When you say you did your research for seven years, yung seven years na yun, talagang,
06:38when you started doing your research, yun yung basa ng basa ng basa ng basa,
06:42a lot of information, you get everything about Mochelan.
06:44Pati yung kanta ni Yoyo, you have to dissect that song.
06:49It's research is that.
06:50Ganun siya, comprehensive, encompassing siya.
06:54And parang dinescribe niyo yung pagdating ng Bajelan in your film as parang messianic.
07:00Is that because of...
07:01Well, part of it. Maraming angulo yun eh.
07:03It's still about the human condition at the end of the day.
07:06Yung mga issues nila, issues hanggang ngayon, greed, plunder, you know,
07:10the trauma of colonization, that's yun.
07:12Oh, sounds familiar.
07:14Oh, it's interesting amongst tribes and, you know, the conflicts, you know,
07:18the big issue about Islam and Christianity, it's the same.
07:23And you go back to the prophecy of Pepe Rizal, si Rizal,
07:27sabi niya, if you read his essay,
07:31the Filipino a century hence, ganun pa rin.
07:35Corrupt, tamad, kailang baguhin yan.
07:38It's still the same.
07:39So, when you say na parang diba, seven years of research,
07:43parang sa'yo, it did not even feel like seven years?
07:46No, no.
07:47It was accumulating knowledge.
07:49Impulcantin yan pag may ginagawa ka eh.
07:51Kailangan may armado ka ng kaalaman,
07:54ng kamalayan ng mga panahon na yun.
07:56But I didn't, I just wanted to,
07:58Magellan na,
08:00using the popular narrative of Pigafetta,
08:04the way we're reading the books,
08:06kasi once you start investigating na,
08:09researching,
08:10it will become dialectical na eh.
08:12Ang dami mo na lang nalalaman na,
08:13oy, hindi na-mention to,
08:15hindi nakita to.
08:16So, you see details.
08:17You see no one says na,
08:19mababago yung narratibo.
08:20Ang dami palang hindi nalagay.
08:22Ang dami nalagay.
08:24You just go to the civil archive,
08:26and doon lahat yun.
08:2615 million pages of the 16th century,
08:29and doon lahat yun.
08:30So, and you see a lot of things,
08:32hindi pala nalagay sa nang mga narratibo na conventional.
08:36The orthodoxy of reading,
08:38itong narratibo na ibinigay ng West sa atin,
08:41it's not even true lahat.
08:44So, kayo mismo,
08:46you went through the documents and the archives?
08:48Dapat, dapat.
08:49Hindi ko gagawin yung Magellan kung hindi ako nagbasa.
08:52Importante yan.
08:53Entusiasm, pasong,
08:56and ultimately,
08:58to educate our people.
08:59So, importante yan.
09:01If you do a historical material,
09:04at the end of the day,
09:05you go for the truth of that period,
09:07of that epoch.
09:09Which means,
09:11balikan natin yung kasesayan,
09:12examine the past,
09:13confront the past,
09:14and beyond that,
09:15it's educating our people about our history.
09:17Importante yan.
09:18That's the goal.
09:19What were some of the biggest challenges
09:20you ever encountered
09:21in producing and creating your films?
09:23Venue.
09:24Venue to show the films.
09:26Ang hirap din yan.
09:27Pag-pagpapalabas,
09:28paano maaabutin ang masses.
09:33At the same time,
09:34hindi mo rin pwedeng isacrifice yung,
09:36i-compromise yung
09:37trabaho mo
09:38para maabot sila.
09:40Don't compromise the work.
09:43Napaka,
09:43ang laki ng kwa na yan,
09:46yung
09:46that conundrum,
09:49yung educating people,
09:51and at the same time,
09:52you're not reaching them,
09:54that's a big problem.
09:55We're addressing that.
09:57Lumalapit kami sa masses,
09:58we show the films,
09:59or we invite them towards the films,
10:00pero
10:00systemic kasi yung issue sa atin.
10:03We don't have cinematechs.
10:06You go to France,
10:07to other parts,
10:08hanggang sa barrio,
10:09may cinematechs,
10:09so people can watch cinemas.
10:12So,
10:12we need to create a structure din.
10:14Structural din yan eh.
10:15So,
10:16okay lang na gumagawa ng
10:17magagandang pelikula,
10:18pero sana may sistema rin
10:19at some point na
10:20structurally,
10:22systemic siya na,
10:23oh,
10:24may mga simbahan ng cinema rin
10:25where people can go
10:26and watch
10:27and educate themselves.
10:29Kasi maraming pelikulang
10:29Pilipino na magaganda,
10:31na hindi naabot yung bayan.
10:32Parang kailangan rin natin
10:33tandaan na
10:34kailangan gamitin ang pelikula
10:36as an educational tool,
10:37not just as a tool
10:38for entertainment.
10:39Daling sa siya,
10:40universities,
10:41kahit sa elementary pa dapat,
10:43tinuturo na yun eh.
10:44Pasok na sa sining,
10:47kahit philosophy,
10:48dapat ituro na.
10:49Ituro na eh.
10:50Ethics,
10:50it's important.
10:51Hindi lang yung ABC.
10:53Ethics,
10:54paano respetuhin ang nanay
10:55at tatay mo,
10:56paano tumawid sa kalisada.
10:58How do you respect
10:59the works of Jose Rizal?
11:02Ethical education
11:04is more important
11:05than having the ABCs
11:06na ibinigay sa atin
11:08American system.
11:09No,
11:10wala yun.
11:10What was it like
11:11working with everyone
11:12on the film?
11:13I mean,
11:14si Magellan
11:14was played by
11:16Gael Garcia Bernal.
11:17What was that like?
11:19Naging psychiatrist ako.
11:20If you work in a production,
11:23just like this setup.
11:24Ah, ho.
11:26Naging psychiatrist ako.
11:28You're dealing with individuals.
11:29Ibang idiosyncrasis
11:31ng mga tao.
11:32From the actors
11:33to the utility guy.
11:34They're all the same.
11:35Iba-ibang personahe yan.
11:37Iba-ibang mentalidad dyan.
11:39So you work around
11:40those things.
11:41Ang hirap mag-gumawa ng
11:42pelikula
11:43kasi hindi lang yung
11:44aesthetics nung ginagawa mo.
11:46kundi you're dealing with
11:4850 people,
11:49100 people,
11:50or 10 people,
11:52actors,
11:53may diva dyan,
11:54may okay.
11:55Sino yung diva?
11:56Lahat.
11:58The psychiatrist yan.
11:59So, which means
12:00you can work around
12:01these things naman.
12:02So, ganun lang.
12:03You understand it.
12:04You understand it.
12:05You understand the human nature.
12:07I imagine parang
12:07tatay ka rin on set,
12:09or kapatid,
12:10tatay, kapatid,
12:11doing it.
12:11Cook din.
12:11Cook din.
12:12Cook din.
12:13Lahat na talaga.
12:14You're doing everything.
12:15Cook doctor.
12:15Oh, doctor.
12:16Oh, but I read also
12:17that you do enjoy
12:18all the different aspects
12:20of it.
12:20So, lahat talaga
12:21sabi-subok mo.
12:21Ikaw rin magka-camera.
12:23Ikaw rin magka-production
12:24design.
12:25Editing.
12:25Yes, and the material
12:27script.
12:27I write the script.
12:28May choice ba ito?
12:29Kasi gusto mo
12:29very hands-on ka talaga
12:30sa ito.
12:31Yes, I want creative control.
12:33Pero hindi creative control
12:34na pasista ka.
12:36Hindi.
12:36Creative control,
12:38you're giving a lot of freedom
12:39to all the threats
12:39that are coming.
12:40From the writing,
12:42to the editing,
12:43to dealing with the actors,
12:44to dealing with the crew.
12:45So, yun yun.
12:46Ibang klaseng
12:47creative control yun.
12:49You're open to dialogue.
12:51Very Socrates siya.
12:52So, we were going through
12:55all our research materials.
12:56Tapos nakalagay,
12:56one of your quirks also
12:57is that you don't use
12:59a smartphone.
13:00Totoo po ba yun?
13:01Hindi kayo nags-smartphone?
13:01Or wala kayo social media?
13:02Ano yung cellphone ka?
13:03Key.
13:05Old school.
13:06Analog.
13:06Hindi naman analog.
13:08Analog pa rin.
13:09Analog pa rin.
13:10Ayan.
13:11Oo nga,
13:11very old school
13:12ang cellphone.
13:13Very old school siya
13:14sa pag may magnanako,
13:15ibabato mo.
13:17At ibabalik pa sa'yo.
13:19Ganong klase,
13:20ibabalik sa'yo.
13:21Maawa ka sa'yo.
13:22And then,
13:23okay.
13:23Pero bakit po kaya
13:24hininig sa smartphone?
13:25By choice po yun.
13:26I can understand
13:29the use of smartphones.
13:30Mahalaga siya
13:31sa panahon ngayon.
13:32Lalo,
13:33we should embrace technology.
13:34Pero,
13:35my mind works differently.
13:37Nairit ako sa
13:38sa mga babilis na information
13:40and a lot of things.
13:43Nakawala ako sa focus.
13:44Yun lang naman.
13:45Pero,
13:45naniniwala ako sa
13:46smartphone.
13:47Just sa cellphone.
13:48Pero wala talaga kayong
13:49social media accounts?
13:50Wala, wala.
13:51Pero meron bang
13:52nagsasabi sa'yo
13:52what's on social media?
13:54Sila.
13:54Kasama ko,
13:55mga kaibigan.
13:55Kinukwento nila.
13:56Oh, ina-attake ka.
13:58Okay, good, good, good.
13:59Yun lang yung ano, non.
14:01Yun ang purpose, non.
14:02Para alam mo kung
14:03ano yung sinasabi nila.
14:04Yan, no,
14:05may information
14:05kung ano nangyayari
14:06kay Derek at kay Ellen.
14:08So, you know,
14:09those things.
14:10You know,
14:11chismoso rin ako.
14:12At least,
14:12kasi we have to be
14:13socially aware then.
14:15Socially aware talaga yung term.
14:16Pero,
14:17direct,
14:18with your entire body of work,
14:20when we look at it,
14:21napakalawak
14:22ng body of work ninyo.
14:23Ibig sabihin,
14:23matagal na po kayo
14:24talaga sa industriya.
14:25Ito po ba
14:26ang lagi ninyong
14:27ginustong gawin?
14:28Bata pa lang kayo?
14:29Gusto nyo na maging director?
14:30It came naturally
14:31kasi lumaki ako
14:32sa lugar na
14:33ang entertainment,
14:36ang gawain lang
14:38is cinema.
14:40Kasi nasa kabundukan
14:41kami ng maginda
14:42na teachers

14:46And then,

14:47we go to this town,
14:49Takurong.

15:44Mga college graduates sila,
15:45anyan,
15:46bum,
15:46sumama sila sa pagbubukas ng,
15:49Mindanao.
15:49They call it the pioneering days.
15:52Wala pa mga kalsada,
15:53no?
15:54So,
15:54young people,
15:56nag-volunteer sila to work there.
15:57And they stayed,
15:58yeah.
15:59Paano yung i-describe yung
16:00growing up?
16:02What was it like,
16:02growing up doon sa,
16:03Maguindanao?
16:03Madilim,
16:04walang kuryente,
16:05until,
16:05mag-college ako.
16:07Halos walang kalsada.
16:09We cross rivers,
16:10going to school.
16:11Nag-uhubad kami,
16:11yung damit kasi.
16:13Kailangan,
16:13walutin mo yung suko kaking damit.
16:16Ganon.
16:17Nire-resent ko nung bata ako,
16:19pero nung
16:20malaki na ako,
16:22grateful ako na
16:23lumaki ako sa ganon.
16:25Kasama,
16:26tumitira kami sa
16:27indigenous peoples,
16:28social workers yung parents ko.
16:30So,
16:30we live with the Bilaans,
16:31the Manubos,
16:32the Bagobos,
16:33the Maguindanaans.
16:35They were building
16:35small schools
16:36sa area na yon.
16:39So,
16:39yun yung setup
16:40ng childhood ko.
16:42May mga kapatid po
16:43kayo,
16:43nire-resent?
16:44Kayo po ba
16:45ay panganay,
16:45bunso?
16:46Git na ako.
16:46Ah, git na.
16:47So,
16:47very close po ba
16:49kayo ng mga kapatid nyo?
16:50Yeah,
16:50mga teachers lahat.
16:52Oh,
16:52so kayo lang,
16:53well,
16:53I mean,
16:54teacher din kayo,
16:55but in a very different way.
16:57So,
16:58sabi nyo po,
16:59yung love nyo
17:00for film,
17:01nakuha nyo sa tatay po ninyo?
17:02Kasi,
17:03grabe sa manood
17:03ng pelikula.
17:04So,
17:05bumaba ba kayo
17:06ng takron?
17:06Talagang para lang
17:07manood ng pelikula?
17:08So,
17:08yung visual cortex
17:09ng brain mo,
17:11it's all about cinema.
17:12It's a brain
17:13which is all black and white,
17:15yung Hong Kong movies,
17:17Filipino slapstick,
17:18Filipino cowboy,
17:19spaghetti western,
17:20napapanood namin lahat yun.
17:22So,
17:23parang ano,
17:23you really did follow
17:24the footsteps of your parents
17:26kasi sabi nyo,
17:26they're teachers
17:27and that's exactly
17:28what you're doing now.
17:28Social worker sila.
17:29Ah, social worker.
17:30And teaching.
17:31Public school teachers.
17:32Oh.
17:32Ang parents ko lang naman,
17:33tinuro lang nila
17:34is the issue of commitment
17:35and sacrifice.
17:36They sacrificed their lives
17:38living with indigenous people.
17:39So,
17:40they didn't seek comfort.
17:42Ang sa kanila,
17:45to be able
17:45to see
17:47a real Filipino nation
17:48is to involve everybody.
17:49Bakit napapabayaan mo
17:51indigenous peoples?
17:52So,
17:52they went to the mountains
17:53and educated the indigenous peoples
17:55telling din that
17:56you're part of this
17:57so-called Filipino nation.
18:00That's,
18:00sa akin,
18:01commitment,
18:01yun yung ginawa nila.
18:02It's a big sacrifice.
18:04Tunggila kami sa mga
18:05kagubatan at kabunduka
18:06with the indigenous peoples
18:07living with the mud,
18:08the snakes,
18:09the mosquitoes.
18:10When we can have comfort
18:11here in Manila,
18:11we can have good jobs here.
18:13Sabi nyo,
18:14you had
18:14some sort of resentment
18:16when you were a child.
18:17Sabi nyo,
18:17hindi mo maunawaan eh.
18:18Bakit?
18:18Nandito kami sa,
18:20katabi mo ahas,

18:30May mga
18:30refrigerators sila,
18:32may kuryente.
18:33We didn't have those

22:12Pero yung mga magulang nila mismo
22:13ang parang
22:14umaayaw.
22:15Kasi nga,
22:15sinasabi nila,
22:16magiging mahirap ang buhay ninyo.
22:18Anong gusto nyo sabihin doon
22:20sa mga kabataan?
22:21Tsaka yung mga magulang nila?
22:22Lahat ng pagbabago,
22:23nagsisimula sa revolusyon.
22:25Sa bahay.
22:26In all aspects of life.
22:27Lalo ngayon,
22:29what's happening in the country,
22:30come on.
22:32The whole setup is
22:33so dysfunctional now,
22:35come on.
22:36Only a radical change
22:37can change the whole setup.
22:39Direct nabanggit nyo yung
22:40what's happening in the country now.
22:41And a lot of people say
22:43nata parang

22:46parang you can't help
22:47but you know,
22:47somehow,

23:00Edukasyon.
23:01To educate our people.
23:03Yan lang naman.
23:03Sa akin,
23:04yan lang naman ang
23:04pang nakikita kong
23:06prabaho ko
23:07as a cultural worker,
23:08as a filmmaker.
23:10To educate our people
23:11through
23:11the medium machine
23:12naman.
23:13It's a small contribution
23:14pero I try my best
23:16to create something
23:17na
23:18pag napanood na isang
23:19Pilipino,
23:20may mababago sa pananaw niyo.
23:22May mababago
23:23sa pakaroon-dam niyo.
23:25It's a work
23:25that should be
23:26transcendent lagi.
23:27It can change you.
23:29Kahit kunti lang.
23:30Do you personally feel
23:32a personal responsibility
23:34to educate?
23:35Yes, yes, yes.
23:36So,
23:36itong lahat
23:37ng nangyayari
23:37sa ating bansa ngayon?
23:38The flood control,
23:40tapos mga
23:40kalimat ka ng
23:41hearing statements
23:42na nilalabas
23:43sa Facebook
23:44or kung saan man
23:45social media.
23:47Is this inspiring you
23:48or pushing you
23:49to create
23:50another film
23:51that will educate
23:51our people
23:52in time for
23:52let's say elections?
23:53Yes, of course.
23:54Laging inspiration
23:55mo.
23:55The condition
23:56of the world.
23:56The Filipino struggle
23:58naman lagi
23:59ang fundasyon
24:00ng mga trabaho
24:01namin.
24:02You're a little
24:03cultural worker
24:04and it's all
24:05about the Filipino
24:06struggle.
24:07You work on that.
24:08Very different,
24:10direct,
24:10yung pagkakadescribe
24:11ninyo
24:11nung trabaho
24:12na ginagawa ninyo.
24:13Kasi usually
24:13when we interview
24:14people in the film
24:16industry,
24:17it's very
24:17parang yung
24:19lifestyle nila
24:20is glamorous.
24:21Tapos yung
24:22parang very
24:22Hollywood,
24:23kumbaga.
24:24Kasama yun.
24:24Oo.
24:25Ang daling
24:26mabuala dun.
24:27Ang iniisip ko,
24:28kapag may mga
24:29batang manood
24:31or the young people,
24:32they watch this episode
24:34and they listen
24:34to what you're saying,
24:35it's a very
24:35different lifestyle
24:36that you're describing.
24:38Paano mo sila
24:39i-engganyo
24:40to do the same
24:40as you?
24:42Siguro,
24:42parang-uri lang nila
24:43yung mga pelipol.
24:45Lumabas sila
24:46sa kalusara,
24:46understand
24:47people more.
24:49It's easy.
24:51Lumabas ka lang
24:51dito sa GMA
24:52walking the streets
24:53here,
24:54may nagtutulak
24:55ng kariton.
24:56There's our history
24:57sa nagtutulak
24:58ng kariton.
25:00Mahihimay mo na
25:00yung kasayasayan
25:01ng bayan.
25:01Bakit si Mang Nano
25:03nagtutulak
25:03ng kariton?
25:05And you'll know
25:05kung bakit siya
25:06andun.
25:07Just go back
25:08to our history,
25:09examine the past,
25:10confront the past,
25:11and you'll know
25:11bakit walang bahay
25:13si Mang Nano,
25:13yung asawan niya
25:14at anak
25:14nasa kariton.
25:16And then,
25:18it's dangerous
25:18din na
25:19may awareness
25:20na di ka gumagalaw.
25:21There's two kinds
25:22of empathy.
25:23Empathy na
25:24you're aware
25:25but you're not acting.
25:26Ang pamang empathy
25:27is may awareness
25:29ka, gumagalaw ka rin,
25:30do something
25:30to change
25:32that situation.
25:33When you look
25:34at your body
25:34of work direct,
25:35is it,
25:37pero ba namin tanungin
25:37kung meron kang favorite
25:38or parang ba yung parang
25:39pinagpili ka namin
25:40ng paboritong anak?
25:42No, no.
25:43I consider
25:44all the works
25:44as one film lang.
25:46Ah, that's an interesting
25:47way of looking at it.
25:48Yeah, pinagduntuntung lang.
25:50Yung trabaho mo,
25:52isang trabaho lang
25:52kalagay.
25:53Iba-ibang titles lang,
25:55iba-ibang genres,
25:56maybe,
25:57iba-ibang durational,
25:58kundi ba.
25:59Pero,
25:59it's just one work
26:01for me.
26:02How many years na po
26:03kayo, direct,
26:04in total,
26:05sa industry?
26:06Binibilang niyo po ba yun?
26:07I started doing cinema
26:09mid-90s.
26:12Eh, malaking,
26:13malaking body of work na yun,
26:15direct, no?
26:16Parang kulang pa sa aking,
26:17you know?
26:18Every time I make cinema,
26:20parang, okay,
26:21pinatapos po lang
26:22yung kulang
26:22na nagawa ko.
26:24And then you feel
26:25limited,
26:25you feel parang kulang.
26:28May ganung feeling lagi na,
26:30yeah.
26:31Actually,
26:31it goes with,
26:32you know,
26:34the randomness of life
26:35na parang,
26:36you wake up,
26:37malungkot ka,
26:38you wake up empty,
26:40so you have to work again,
26:41move again,
26:41do exercise,
26:42eat some food
26:43to nourish your body,
26:45read some books,
26:47to nourish your soul.
26:48Ganun lagi yung proseso nyo.
26:49It's the same with
26:50my works,
26:51with my cinema.
26:53Lagi kong,
26:54saan ba pupunta yun pa?
26:56Pag tinitinan niyo po

27:26siguro,
27:26kung hindi ako naging matigas,
27:28naging stubborn
27:29sa aesthetics
27:29to,
27:30kung ano na,
27:30kung,
27:32yun na,
27:32laging may ganun na,
27:33hindi naman nawawala.
27:35Direk,
27:36sabi nyo kanina na,
27:37meron din kayo mga
27:39ginawang short films,
27:41pero mas,
27:41kilala kayo for your,
27:43longer films.
27:44And when we say long,
27:46umaabot siya ng
27:47more than 8 hours.
27:49The longest is
27:5010 hours,
27:5145 minutes.
27:5210 hours and 45 minutes.
27:54When you were creating
27:54your longest film,
27:57may idea na kayo
27:57na aabot siya ng
27:5810 hours and 45?
27:59Hindi.
28:00Kung nag-shoot na malako,
28:01wala yung duration.
28:02I just shoot and shoot and shoot
28:03until,
28:04tingin ko okay na siya.
28:06Nagulat kayo na
28:07umaabot siya ng
28:0710 hours and 45?
28:08Ako rin,
28:08nagulat.
28:098 hours,
28:109 hours,
28:1010 hours.
28:11Minsan,
28:12sa dami ng sinot mo,
28:13kailangan lang pala,
28:151 minute lang siya.
28:16So it's okay.
28:17Ganun siya.
28:17So meron ka rin
28:181 minute film?
28:19Meron, meron 1 minute,
28:20may 2 minutes,
28:22may 5 minutes.
28:24Some people say that
28:25itong,
28:27they call it slow cinema,
28:28di ba?
28:29Yung magmahaba yung
28:30yung película.
28:30Dahil lang naman
28:31mahaba sa yung slow cinema.
28:32Okay, slow.
28:33What's your take on that?
28:34Even on the term
28:35slow cinema?
28:35Label lang nila yun eh.
28:37Isang opinion nila yun eh.
28:38Pero it's not slow
28:39sinning eh.
28:40Because there's action.
28:41Malaya ang sinning eh.
28:42So hindi lang naman
28:43yung modelo,
28:44yung paradigm ng
28:45Hollywood,
28:46ang cinema.
28:48Lawak na.
28:49At saka ang bata pa
28:49ng cinema
28:50para i-confine
28:51sa 2 oras lang,
28:54sa cut to cut,
28:56sa color,
28:57sa manipulative sound.
29:00Ang bata pa ng cinema.
29:03Lumalaki pa lang siya.
29:05Now we have AI,
29:07we have vertical cinema na
29:08ang dami ng lumalaba.
29:09So embrace development,
29:12the revolution,
29:12the evolution of the medium.
29:14Dapat ni-embrace yan.
29:15Huwag lang isang
29:16confine sa
29:17very imposing
29:19and fascistic
29:20Hollywood
29:20system.
29:21yun kasi sinusuro na
29:23parang dami.
29:24Dapat tuwa sa akin yun eh.
29:26Para mapalaya
29:27lalo ang cinema.
29:28Ultimately,
29:30maging kasama sa
29:31tinatawag nating
29:32pag-educate.
29:34Direk,
29:35sabi nyo,
29:3510 hours,
29:3645 minutes
29:37yung longest film ninyo.
29:38Pero ano yung
29:39longest work period
29:41nyo for a film?
29:43The same film,
29:43Evolution of a Filipino Family.
29:4511 years kong
29:46sinushoot yun.
29:4611 years,
29:48okay.
29:49Kasi wala akong pera eh.
29:50Every time na may pera,
29:51shoot.
29:52Every time na may
29:53camera isang kaibigan,
29:55hiramin ko,
29:56shoot.
29:57Ganon.
29:57So it took me
29:5810 years to be able
29:59to finish that.
30:00Naisip nyo ba
30:01at any point
30:02direct to
30:02maybe do
30:03other
30:04yung parang
30:05yung mga
30:06high-paying projects
30:07like maybe commercials,
30:08ganyan.
30:08I was offered
30:09before,
30:10TV commercials,
30:11pero
30:11nataon namin
30:12mga ginagawa ako.
30:13In-of-well,
30:15ako ng napakalaking
30:17contract,
30:17no?
30:18Pero,
30:19sabi ko,
30:20may mga gagawin pa ako.
30:22What kinds of projects
30:23yung mga talagang
30:24hindi yung
30:25hindi yung
30:26gagawin?
30:27Wala naman.
30:28Open din ako
30:29sa mga junkers.
30:29I can do horror,
30:30I can do slapstick comedy,
30:31I can do action.
30:32Okay naman.
30:34Pero kailangan may
30:34creative control nga eh.
30:36Kailangan yung
30:36kamalayan nung
30:37gagawin mo,
30:38iyo.
30:38Hindi imposed
30:39by producers,
30:40hindi imposed
30:41by other perspectives.
30:42Otherwise,
30:43you're gonna
30:43lose your soul.
30:45You mentioned
30:45kanina na
30:46with the
30:47influx of AI,
30:48ganyan,
30:49or different kinds
30:50of technology.
30:51You just have
30:51to embrace it.
30:52Embrace natin.
30:53But,
30:54you mean
30:55the tools,
30:56di ba,
30:56pagdating sa editing,
30:57ganyan.
30:58Pero paano
30:58pagdating dun
30:58sa mga
30:59AI actors
31:00or mga
31:01AI-generated scripts?
31:03Kasama yun,
31:03kasama yun
31:04sa whole package.
31:05You talk about
31:06AI cinema later,
31:09pwede nang
31:09buhayin sila
31:10Fernando po ulit.
31:11Darating dun
31:11ang cinema.
31:12Dating dun,
31:14mabubuhay
31:14every cinema
31:14ni De Blanca
31:15kahit hindi pa
31:16na sasolve
31:16yung case niya.
31:18Magkakaroon siya
31:19ng isa pang
31:20pelikula,
31:20gano'n,
31:21hindi pa na,
31:21at siya mismo
31:22ang isasolve niya
31:24yung cold case
31:24ng naulang Bianca
31:25ni De Blanca.
31:26Could be that.
31:28You know,
31:28nag-evol pa ang cinema.
31:30It's still very young.
31:30It's still just
31:31a hundred years.
31:33It's a very young cinema,
31:34very powerful.
31:35It keeps evolving.
31:37So we have
31:37to embrace things.
31:38That thought
31:39does not scare you
31:40or make you apprehensive?
31:41No, no, no.
31:42Maganda nga eh.
31:43It's opening,
31:44it's opening.
31:44It's moving.
31:47Gumagalaw siya.
31:48Kasi siguro
31:49a lot of the apprehension
31:50stems from the fact
31:51na may kapalit eh,
31:53na parang mawawala
31:54ng trabaho
31:54yung iba mga tao.
31:55Araw-araw,
31:56you keep changing.
31:57Things keep changing.
31:59Wala kang magagawa talaga.
32:02You have to embrace it.
32:04Kung may nag-open a thread,
32:06pasukin mo and then see
32:07paano pwedeng magagawa.
32:09Nakagamit na po kayo
32:10ng AI already
32:11in any of your films?
32:12Hindi pa.
32:13I've been to,
32:14I've worked as a jury member
32:16sa isang AI competition
32:18and they look good.
32:20They're promising.
32:22Oo nga po.
32:22Crude na crude pa
32:24yung mga napanood ko
32:25pero nakikita mo yung
32:27kung saan pupunta ang cinema.
32:29Isang genre yan,
32:31isang aspekto na cinema
32:33na lalaki at lalaki.
32:35Kailangan tanggapin yun.
32:36Nagkaroon ng isang
32:37soft drink commercial recently
32:39that was purely AI.
32:41Di ba?
32:41Oo.
32:42At parang mixed reactions eh.
32:43Sabi ng ibang tao
32:44parang nawala yung puso,
32:45nawala yung warm.
32:46Ganun naman sa umpisa.
32:47When digital came,
32:48lahat walang puso ang digital.
32:50Ngayon,
32:51we're all in digital.
32:52Ganun naman.
32:53It's the same.
32:54Bagay ako ng purist movement
32:55na celluloid kami.
32:57We're not gonna do digital.
33:01Nire-rescent namin.
33:02Pero after a while,
33:03nakikita ko yung gamit.
33:05Nagagawa ko pala
33:06yung mahabakong pelikula dito.
33:09So it came naturally
33:10and then,
33:11narespeto ko yung
33:13gamit itong bagong medium.
33:16Makikita mo na,
33:17may binibigay na bago.
33:18Yun, that's the point.
33:19You know,
33:20AI is coming.
33:22Ang dami niyang
33:23positive aspects
33:23na pwedeng,
33:24you know,
33:25mag-u-work talaga
33:26sa cinema.

39:14of the day,
39:15it's not
39:15the end goal
39:16or the end of it.
39:19Para sa akin,
39:21kasama yun,
