The Philippines’ Oscar Entry: Lav Diaz on Magellan | So On-The-Go

Filipino filmmaker Lav Diaz opens up about the making of Magellan, the Philippines’ official entry to the Oscars. With Golden Globe winner Gael García Bernal leading the cast, Diaz explores a revisionist take on Magellan and Lapu-Lapu — questioning long-held colonial records and sparking discourse on national identity. A film seven years in the making, Magellan reflects Diaz’s belief that cinema should educate, provoke thought, and reclaim Filipino history.
