[Hit Factory @HitFactoryPod]

the death drive of empire sublimated into self-mythologizing conquest. subjugation cloaked as salvation. adherence to nationalistic institutions catalyzing fascistic hostilities. gorgeous, bleak, and unsettlingly timely. masterful stuff.

Lav Diaz and Artur Tort are nominated for the 23rd ICS Awards Best Cinematography for their work in Magellan.

Lav Diaz sa Criterion Closet:

[Screen Slate @ScreenSlate]

Lav Diaz: "We’re talking about all of these incursions & the impositions of foreign perspectives in our psyches and cultures. You go to contemporary cases like Ukraine & Gaza & it’s still the same. ... Magellan is not old or new, it’s been there forever." https://t.co/VTIrxx4tbv

GOOD NEWS for those who missed Magellan (dir. Lav Diaz) during its Philippine theatrical run.

It will screen this January 2026 at the UPFI Film Center!
