Khavn De La Cruz is a filmmaker, rock musician, poet and producer, the enfant terrible of low-budget (or no-budget) filmless films in the Philippines. The digital guerrilla turns his subversive gaze to the first Filipino postmodern play, “The Trial of Mr. Serapio,” written in 1969 by Paul Dumont. An old beggar is brought before the Kafkaesque tribunal of “the Federation,” a tyrannical government which accuses him of the crime of trying to raise a child! It doesn’t seem to matter that Serapio’s wife and child are both dead. The two pig-like judges threaten to blind him if he is found guilty. The millennial adaptation of the theme intersperses the black and white sixties-style play with Khavn’s trademark bleached-out color footage. The idealistic Serapio plays his guitar and sings of the failures of the “People Power Revolution” and walks through crowded streets. Festivals: Cinemalaya: Philippine Independent Film Festival 2010.
