ANINO (2000)

This is the first and only Filipino film that has ever won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Only 12 minutes long, it’s a homage to one of the greatest films from Philippine cinema’s second Golden Age, Brocka’s Maynila Sa Mga Kuko Liwanag but it augured in the third Golden Age. Directed by one of a godfather of independent cinema, Raymond Red, it also stars indie legends John Arcilla and Ronnie Lazaro.
