Pilipinas: What Do You Think of the Philippines Mr. Janetzko?

Regiben O. Romana / Philippines / 1989 / International Premiere / 5 min.


synopsis

This experimental film, which resembles an abstract painting, is an imaginary conversation between Romana and the German cameraman Christoph Janetzko, who visited the Philippines in the early 1990s. Fragments of the action film flash ornamentally between the moving shapes, colors, and film scraps.
