Todo todo teros

John Torres

An artist wakes up as a terrorist. He is sent abroad to bomb subways. He hasn’t gone home. Manila sits still. A videotape emerges. This stranger talks to the camera, and a familiar voice reacts. Composed mostly of found footage of close friends, Filipino musicians and performance artists, this is a surreal take on Manila and how artists can subvert a culture by the mere act of creating works that empower and transform. It is a film that exposes suffering, infidelity and filmmaking as a benign mode of terrorism against strangers and lovers alike.
