Here, Here

Joanne CESARIO 2021 Philippines color 19min Tagalog DCP
Koi returns home for the first time since leaving for college. As he reconnects with his hometown in slow decay, he fears the impending possibility of losing both his father and his hearing. Part fiction, part experiment, and purposefully blurring the distinction, Here, Here is a visual study on landscapes and terrains, both natural and beyond.
