Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon

Kommander Kulas: The One... Mythological love story by Filipino multi-talent Khavn De La Cruz. Kommander Kulas has a restless night, in which he dreams that he is a giant cockroach. Upon waking, Kulas finds a number of stitches in his chest: his heart seems to have been stolen. With his destitute friend Carabao, Kulas sets off on an adventure that leads the two wandering souls all over the country in search of Kulas’ heart. On the way, they meet various mythological characters. As ever, De La Cruz - who has now made more than seventy short films and some thirty features - shot this film on video, but deviates from his typical experimental style, completely unaffected by film conventions. Kommander Kulas is more controlled than De La Cruz' previous films. Nevertheless, the absurdism the maker himself compares to the films of Chilean cult director Alejandro Jodorowsky is still present. The principal role is played by an itinerant piano.

Ultimo: Different Ways o... A tribute-cum-reformulation-in-film of Philippine National Hero Jose Rizal's poem "Mi Ultimo Adios," Khavn's "Ultimo: Different Ways of Killing a National Hero" explores identity and nationhood as viewed through the lens of a truly post-colonial individual. Ultimo is a 90-minute black-and-white silent film, with scenes from the director's meanderings in La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain) interspersed with lines from Rizal's poem, which was written a day before the hero's execution in 1896. Waiting, ambivalence, and re-membering —themes usually tackled in literature and criticism— are investigated through a series of images: the mundane elevated to the affective through a sensibility that does not shy away from pushing the boundaries of art. This version is scored by a post-kundiman duet of guitar and banduria.
