OverviewA holistic consideration of the works of celebrated Filipino filmmaker Lav Diaz. This original collection considers Lav Diaz and his works without being confined to a specific approach or research method. On the contrary, it touches on nearly every major contemporary academic approach to cinema. Though Diaz’s contributions to slow and durational cinema are well known and his importance in contemporary world cinema is beyond doubt, the director remains largely unexplored in cinema studies. The book addresses this research gap, situating Diaz at the crucial juncture of new auteurism, Filipino New Wave, and transnational cinema, but it does not neglect the industrial-exhibitional coordinates of his cinema. The first book-length study on the groundbreaking auteur, the collection takes a critical look at his career and corpus from various perspectives, with contributions from cinema studies researchers, film critics, festival programmers, and artists. It offers a nuanced overview of the filmmaker and the cinematic traditions he belongs to for film enthusiasts, researchers, and general readers alike.

[...] Sine ni Lav Diaz is a good collection of works on the Filipino director with a rather broad mix of tones and styles. The editors provide material that is of interest to academic readers as well as the general public.' -- Nadin Mai, Philippine Studies 'The volume poses a methodological quandary about how to study Diaz as a global auteur. [...] The task this volume undertakes is neither one of specificity (what specifically marks Diaz as distinctly Filipino), nor as similative (that he enfolds the multiple genealogies mentioned above). What the contributors appear to present are a set of frictions and fissures that surface when theorizing about Diaz as a global auteur, and sometimes, the impossibility thereof. Most significantly, the book encourages us to rethink the auteur beyond a positive, additive or comparative vein, and offers in its stead, negativity, lacunae and failing as a space from which to begin auteurial enquiry. The volume begins where a film ends. “Sine ni Lav Diaz” offers us the signature as ever-expanding, challenges a notional site to imagine who, what and where Diaz might be, and even expounds what the aporias and limits of theorizing Diaz are. For us, Diaz exists, only to be slowly chiselled away.' -- Pujita Guha, Senses of Cinema Author InformationParichay Patra teaches cinema at the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur.
