As a video mapping, the shot documented the trail of the filmmaker navigating the Divisoria, the busiest economic hub in the heart of Metro Manila. The background of the street was eliminated, leaving the black-and-white flickering silhouette of the people in transit in sync and toward the filmmaker. This dynamic environment of the symphony of hustle, bustle, and noise was the focal point of the video output. The sound echoes images like a fleeting memory.
This short, creative documentary film had its World Premiere, representing the Philippines’ entry at the 28th Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival. Big thanks to Film Development Council of the Philippines for the travel support. Film details from the JIDFF can be found here.
