Event
TIRADOR/Slingshot (feature) with Lata at Tsinelas (short)
From the director of international art-house hit Serbis (2009), the magnificent Slingshot is about the intertwined lives of Caloy, Leo, Rex and Odie. All of them live in the depressed slum area of Quiapo, Manila. The film takes place during Holy Week amidst the 2007 elections. It represents Manila as swarming with criminals -- snatchers, pickpockets, drug pushers, shoplifters and the like. However, these petty criminals are portrayed as nothing compared to the corrupt, hypocritical politicians who make false promises, exploit poverty and call on God for help. Slingshot makes clear why critics consider Mendoza a singular visionary among the mavericks of world film.
