April 2, 2022 7pm - April,30, 2022, 7pm ONLY

The Visions/Panawin Film Series aims to introduce the New York University and King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center community to the ardent, prolific culture of the Philippines as expressed in key works from the rich and audacious canon of Philippine cinema. For Spring 2022, Panawin presents two internationally award-winning films in April.

The first, Aswang, is a documentary captured in the gritty streets of a Metro Manila ravaged by the devastating anti-drug war that marked the beginning of the Duterte administration.

The other film couldn’t be further away in milieu from Aswang. The Road to Kalimugtong/Ang Daan Patungong Kalimugtong is a feature film set in a remote mountain region where two children traverse mountain, ravine, and river daily to get to school.

However dissimilar, both films examine aspects of a country struggling with the wages of poverty and corruption. Through cinematic art, Aswang and Kalimugtong pry out victories of witnessing and remembering, awareness and resilience, poetry and compassion.

For further information about each film including Curator’s Commentaries and other supplementary materials, click on the title of the film on the menu to the right or on the schedule below.

Each film will have a two-week, video-on-demand-availability window and can be viewed on the Eventive streaming platform on Visions/Panawin‘s Eventive site at https://watch.eventive.org/visionspanawinnyu
