The Woman Behind the Tattoo Artist

Lauren Sevilla Faustino / Philippines / 2011 / International Premiere / 45 min.


synopsis

Fang Od is a 92-year-old tattoo artist and the last representative of the Kalinga culture. The portrait of the artist whose tattooed body reminds us of the land and the map of life, is a testament to a dying tradition and a languishing cultural and national identity. She will take all of them to the grave, just like the tattoos on her body.
