His work is firmly rooted in his country\u2019s troubled history, while also transcending the local context through its revolutionary spirit and desire for change. With his durational film projects Diaz pushes the boundaries of what cinema can be, his films averaging six hours in length, some being nine hours or more. For his first exhibition in Belgium, the festival is featuring an overview of his work, in collaboration with Cinema Galeries. For the full three weeks of Kunstenfestivaldesarts, there is an exhibition and a retrospective revealing Diaz\u2019s storytelling instincts and sensibilities along with his filmmaking style, reminiscent of such cinematic poets as Andrei Tarkovsky, Robert Bresson and B\u00e9la Tarr. In viewing his films, one feels the crushing weight of his obsession with trauma, suffering and the darkest sides of humanity. In the bleakest of situations his ambitious and irrepressible search for poetry makes that through the painful truths glimmers of hope emerge. Lav Diaz will also premier a cinematographic and musical performance conceived and composed as a response to past and present events in the Philippines and the World.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the exhibition, a\u00a0<strong>retrospective<\/strong>\u00a0and a\u00a0<strong>masterclass<\/strong> with Lav Diaz are also organised.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 KunstenFestivaldesarts<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"credits\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Presentation: Kunstenfestivaldesarts, Cinema Galeries<br \/>\nExhibition curation: Bich-Quan Tran<br \/>\nSpecial thanks: Hazel Orencio, Christina Stuhlberger, Efe Cakarel, Alex Keegan<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row thb_full_width=&#8221;true&#8221; full_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; thb_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1709731544690{padding-top: 7vh !important;padding-bottom: 7vh !important;background-color: #000000 !important;}&#8221; thb_row_title=&#8221;Video&#8221;][vc_column][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/921587057&#8243; el_width=&#8221;80&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In May 2022, Dissidenz curated for Kunstenfestivaldesarts and Cinema Galeries in Brussels the first ever exhibition dedicated to Filipino artist Lav Diaz on the occasion of a focus on his work -including a retrospective of his films and a performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":489,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[23,99,100],"class_list":["post-488","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-exhibition","tag-lav-diaz","tag-philippines","portfolio-category-exhibition"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dissidenz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dissidenz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dissidenz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dissidenz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dissidenz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=488"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/dissidenz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/488\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":570,"href":"https:\/\/dissidenz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/488\/revisions\/570"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dissidenz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dissidenz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dissidenz.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
