The Philippines, docu-drama-essay film fusion, 16mm, 95min, 1977.\u00a0Original title: Mababangong Bangungot.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Dir: Kidlat Tahimik. Chugoku-region Premiere! Kidlat in person & guest talk on 8\/21 Sunday evening !!<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

\"Perfumed<\/a><from Harvard Film Archive> \u201cWith his first film, the former Eric de Guia not only debuted his nom du cin\u00e9ma<\/em>, Kidlat Tahimik (meaning \u2018quiet lightning\u2019 in Tagalog), but also its onscreen incarnation, a character that would become as inseparable from the filmmaker himself as Chaplin\u2019s Little Tramp. And like the Tramp, Tahimik presents himself as a na\u00eff, the better to draw audiences into his autobiographical journey of de-colonization. Seamlessly blending fiction, autobiography, history and ethnography, the film begins as a self-portrait of Tahimik, his family and friends, and his hometown. When Kidlat realizes a lifelong dream to visit Europe, the disillusioning experience causes him to revisit his idealization of Western culture and technology. This political awakening is told with both gentle humor and burning fervor. As a result, The Perfumed Nightmare<\/em> has become not only a founding text of \u201cthird cinema\u201d and a classic of the surrealist counter-ethnographic genre; it\u2019s also justly recognized as one of the finest essay films ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kidlat\u2019s new feature film is being premiered at Aichi Triennale this summer and will have a theatrical run throughout Japan in the fall. We are honored to have the ever-so-lovable Kidlat in person as a special guest at UPAF! Don\u2019t miss it!<\/p>\n

This special 16mm screening is made possible by generous support from Kazuyuki Yano of Cinematrix.<\/p>\n
