Liberation in filmmaking

Pandayang Lino Brocka, an annual gathering of independently produced audio-visual works from filmmakers all over the country, mounts its seventh edition this year with the theme “Liberation.”

A tribute to internationally acclaimed filmmaker and visionary, National Artist for Cinema Lino Brocka, the 7th Pandayang Lino Brocka aims to arouse critical consciousness and progressive initiative among its audience. Brocka has long advocated the creation of films that are meant to disturb the consciousness. His political perspectives are reflected in his body of work—Tinimbang ka Ngunit Kulang, Maynila sa Kuko ng Liwanag, among others—which highlighted the plight of the oppressed.
