Archivo 1984 to Screen Lino Brocka’s Neo-Noir "Jaguar"

An exclusive screening will showcase never-before-seen production photos and feature appearances by lead stars Philip Salvador and Amy Austria.

Lino Brocka, honored as National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts and one of the Philippines' most influential directors, created powerful films that explore political and socioeconomic themes still relevant today.

While the gritty urban drama Maynila, sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag (Manila in the Claws of Light) remains his most internationally recognized work—boosted by Martin Scorsese and the World Cinema Project's restoration—other films like 1976's Insiang (the first Filipino film screened at Cannes) and the 1979 neo-noir Jaguar (the first Filipino film competing for the Palme d’Or at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival) also stand out as milestones in Philippine cinema.

Screening Details

"Lino Brocka left the world with biting, unforgettable films that deftly explored politics and socioeconomic issues within the country that still echo today."
"The gritty urban drama Maynila, sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag is no doubt the most globally famous among his titles—due in large part to Martin Scorsese and the World Cinema Project’s involvement in its remastering."

Author’s summary: Lino Brocka’s landmark neo-noir Jaguar returns in a restored 4K version, with an exclusive screening highlighting his enduring impact on Philippine cinema.
