CINEMATON 1 - MANILA

...DAY 1


Manila.

As a filmic space.

You are. Filled with gaps.

Crevices.

Shadows salivate in your arbitrariness.
You are unbounded, unstructured, unsought.

Bernal ditched you.
Politically.
In Manila by Night, you torn your own history.

Is it not that film, a complete art, displaces you?

You are an empty hole,
romanticized by fools.
Northern stars.
Gethsemane.
You are Sodom.
Gomorrah.
An Ash pit. Ash hole.
Paris died on you.
You crucified Rome.
Blasphemous.
Wreck.
