Lav Diaz: faire face

This collective work, co-edited by Corinne Maury (Univ. of Toulouse) and Olivier Zuchuat (Dept. of Cinema, HEAD-Geneva) extends the Lav Diaz colloquium organized in 2019 at the HEAD-Geneva HES-SO. This 350-page book, rich in images, is the first in French devoted to the work of Lav Diaz. It brings together contributions from researchers and film critics, a film diary, as well as unpublished interviews.Lav Diaz's cinematographic work is steeped in the hopes and sufferings of a Filipino people exposed to both state violence and the climatic disasters that regularly devastate the archipelago. His river-films are tied to the destiny of the opponents, the marginalized and the disenfranchised.

Facing history and the tragic consequences of successive colonizations, encouraging resistance, reviving progressively forgotten animist practices, or restoring the dignity of the disappeared: Lav Diaz's frescoes stand against silence, amnesia and repression.
