ABOUT EXIT ART
Exit Art is an independent vision of contemporary culture. We are prepared toreact immediately to important issues that affect our lives. We do experimental, historical and unique presentations of aesthetic, social, political and environmental issues. We absorb cultural differences that become prototype exhibitions. We are a center for multiple disciplines. Exit Art is a 30-year-old cultural center in New York City founded by Directors Jeanette Ingberman and artist Papo Colo, that has grown from a pioneering alternative art space, into a model artistic center for the 21st century committed to supporting artists whose quality of work reflects the transformations of our culture. Exit Art is internationally recognized for its unmatched spirit of inventiveness and consistent ability to anticipate the newest trends in the culture. With a substantial reputation for curatorial innovation and depth of programming in diverse media, Exit Art is always changing.

"Lav Diaz's Epic Philippine Cinema" starts Saturday!

2012-04-18T16:46:20Z


ABOUT THE FILM Epic in scope, reach, and length, Lav Diaz's EVOLUTION OF A FILIPINO FAMILY examines the fifteen years of martial law in the Philippines imposed by former President Ferdinand Marcos. At the center of the movie is the Gallardo family, who eke out a marginal existence farming a dour strip of land. In their barrio, the imposition of martial law coincides with a wave of guerrilla activity and a rise in crime and general lawlessness. As their fortunes decline, the family begins to fall apart. Photographed in black and white and relying almost exclusively on natural sound, EVOLUTION was shot over an eight-year period. Throughout the movie, you feel the pull and power of history; at the film's center is Diaz's probing of the Filipino psyche and the wounds inflicted on it by the Marcos regime. Moving and trenchant, EVOLUTION OF A FILIPINO FAMILY is quite simply one of the most extraordinary and ambitious films you will see this year. Synopsis courtesy of the Toronto International Film Festival 2004. "A labor of love made from the passing of time and echoes reverberating faintly across history's vast plains." - Olaf M�ller, Film Comment DigiBeta tapes from the Collection of the Austrian Film Museum, Vienna.
