The documentary films of our Filipina filmmakers, Ramona S. Diaz, Alyx Arumpac, and Joanna Vasquez Arong
did not get in the Oscars this year but we received good news that the first full-length documentary film of Venice
Atienza,
Last Days at Sea, is competing at the 71st Berlinale-Berlin International Film Festival Generation section, which will begin on March 1, 2021.
Venice Atienza
In an exchange with Manila Bulletin Lifestyle, Venice narrates her journey in isolated Karihatag, Surigao del Norte, where her film follows the life of a young boy leaving his fishing village. Poetic images are captured as a life is destined to transform forever.
