PIDING
January 18, 2017, 5:00 PM

Directed by: Gym Lumbera and Paolo Picones

Synopsis: It isn’t strictly a documentary considering it follows a fictionalized account of a scientist (Spanky Manikan) who is searching for his first wife. However, it can also be argued that the fictional parts of the film only serve the purpose of enunciating the mysteries of life that Lumbera and Picones attempt to document. They do so through stirring images of arresting landscapes, animals in magical moments, and people acting irrationally.

The film pits science against faith, logic against love, and man-made structures against nature’s majesty. Piding is beautifully bewildering. Its obsessions are bewitching. It’s almost impossible not to fall for its seductions.
