Botong Francisco: A Nation Imagined

Directed by Peque Gallaga

Shown in conjunction with the eponymous exhibit "Botong Francisco: A Nation Imagined" from December 2012 to March 2013, the documentary is designed and projected to be shown in large scale, together with the selected works, sketches and murals of Carlos "Botong" Francisco. Content-wise, the documentary is part first-person narrative of "Botong" Francisco's reflections (on his life, his work and his aesthetic views on the national imaginary), as well as part meta-referential tableau of the historical, mythical and fictional figures that features in Botong Francisco's works.
