FILIPIÑANA

A startling debut executive produced by world renowned Jia Zhangke, director Rafael Manuel’s unsetting survey of a golf course in the Manila’s outskirts is both engrossing and insidious. Seventeen year old tee girl Isabel's peace is interrupted in what seems like paradise. A true feast for the eyes with gourgeously lush landscapes complimentary to its fantastical vibe. FILIPIÑANA is a slow-burning swing at capitalism that won the World Cinema Dramatic Jury Award for Creative Vision at Sundance this year.
