“When you finish your studies, never come back here.”
Within today’s film industry of the Philippines director Raymond Red has to belong to the most important voices of his generation. After winning the Palme d’Or for his short feature “Anino” in 2000, Red began exploring the technical possibilities of the medium while also venturing deep into the fabric of his home country, its divides and its communities. In an interview from 2012 Red explains how he had planned to return to the themes and sets of “Anino” when he started preparing what would ultimately become his fourth feature film titled “Manila Skies”. Especially since the economic chasm between people in his country had widened over the years, a film set in the environment of the poor and the disenfranchised should authentically portray their situation. Red aimed to show the deep wounds, the depression and anger in a society in which...

The title alone will have you stop whatever you're doing. The Philippines, for all its reputation for criminality and mayhem, has never been a haven for a particular sort of criminal, the serial killer. This specific fact seems to be the core of Mikhail Red's next feature, which as its title seems to imply, has a serial killer from the United States wreaking havoc in the archipelago's largest city.Mikhail, the son of Raymond Red who is a leading voice in the country's alternative filmmaking scene, started by directing short films which garnered various awards in local and international film festivals. His first feature film, Rekorder (2013), is about a movie pirate who suddenly finds himself as the center of the police's attention when he inadvertently...

At just 21 years of age Filipino filmmaker Mikhail Red has written and directed his first feature length film. Mikhail started his career early under the guidance of his father Raymond Red, a key figure in Filipino independent cinema and the recipient of the Palme d'Or in 2000 for his short film Anino. Like his father, the young director leans towards the experimental and as a result his debut, Rekorder has been shot on a number of different formats which retain their original aspect ratios. The film tells the story of Maven, a movie pirate with an obsession for filming the world through his outdated video camera. It's an interesting film dealing with a number of issues including piracy, social media and an increasingly disconnected society but...

James Spader claims to know very little about his latest character, Raymond Red Reddington, the enigmatic center of NBC’s new thriller, The Blacklist, which premieres tonight. But it’s safe to assume he’ll be a peculiar sort of career criminal, the kind of brilliant yet charming oddball Spader has cornered the market on in the last decade. He made Lincoln’s political operative W.N. Bilbo an eccentric dandy, played The Office’s Robert California as an inscrutable Zen master, and won three Emmys as Boston Legal’s unorthodox lawyer Alan Shore. (Up next: Tommy Lee Jones’s The Homesman, in which he plays a red-headed swindler with a dodgy accent.) Spader spoke to us about filming his new show in New York and shaving his head for the role.It was your decision to shave your head. Do you miss the hair?No. It's nice and cool in the summer.

A silent film with an industrial-style soundtrack, Raymond Red's Kamera Obskura is portrayed as a vintage piece set in a retro-futuristic past complete with flying machines powered by pedaling. It's based on a character whose stuck in a dark room and only sees the world through a hole.. until he is released and tries to figure out whats going on by going through a mysterious building. It sounds very Kafka-esque and I would of missed it if it weren't for the review at Twitch. [Continued ...]...

There are a lot of great ideas swimming in a pool of confusion in Raymond Red's Kamera Obskura. The film is conceptually sophisticated, more so than the bunch of films like Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist that merely borrowed stereotypical silent film aesthetics for trite nostalgia. Red, in recreating a silent film and dressing that recreated silent film within a storyline of a celebrated discovery of an obscure lost film in an abandoned warehouse, already tackles several very current issues that deserve to be put in the forefront of cultural discourse.In the first few minutes of the film, Red has legendary archivists Teddy Co, Cesar Hernando and Ricky Orellana debating on the import of their discovery in front of the media. In their excited discussions,...

Originally planned as a one minute short for Nikalexis.Mov, a program of short films dedicated to the memory of slain critics Alexis Tioseco and Nika Bohinc that featured short works by directors like Raymond Red, Rico Maria Ilarde and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Lav Diaz's Elehiya sa Dumalaw mula sa Himagsikan (Elegy to the Visitor from the Revolution) grew both in length and concept, turning into a film that is ponderous and perplexing but is still grounded on very familiar emotions of melancholy and despair. It is undoubtedly a film that sprung from spontaneity, with Diaz literally writing the film as he was shooting it with a cast of actors and friends who are willing and ready to take in complex roles in a very short period of...

After the much anticipated preem for Don’t Go Breaking My Heart and Quattro Hong Kong 2, it was Yuen-Leung Poon's Hi, Fidelity’s turn to shine --- and without a doubt, veteran actress Pat Ha is the film's highlight and that's not to say that fellow thesps Carrie Ng and Michelle Ye didn't offer noteworthy takes either. Deemed a “chick flick” from the get go, this tells the tale of middle-aged women cheating on their husbands -- but as the plot soon thickens, it appears to be a lot more complex, much more of a relationship thriller than just a pure romantic film. Alongside the exploration of women’s midlife crisis and their yearning for the lost times, there are plot twists followed by more plot twists, essentially I’m not sure if it plays off so well and this despite the film's big revelation that certainly has the...
