Films Showing
Leonor Will Never Die
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Martika Ramirez Escobar
2022 / 101min / DCP
A festival favorite, Escobar’s debut feature offers a surreal, self-reflexive tribute to Filipino action cinema. Retired screenwriter Leonor Reyes (Sheila Francisco) lays comatose in a hospital after a collision between her skull and a television set—but while her body doesn’t move, in her mind she’s been transported into one of her own unfinished films, confronted with the larger-than-life heroes and villains of her invention, as well as the unhappy memories of their real-life inspirations. An ingeniously layered narrative with serious insights into Pinoy pop movies, that’s also seriously funny.
Martika Escobar Ramirez in-person for Introduction + Q&A on 11/25 @ 7:00 + 9:20, and 11/26 @ 7:00
