BRUTUS
2008, Philippines, Directed by Tara Illenberger
Brutus is a fictionalized retelling of facts about the environmental degradation of Mindoro: two kids are paid by illegal loggers to smuggle wood to the lowlands. They hide them underneath a bamboo raft and float them for several days through dangerous white water. What follows is a journey that tests their friendship and their values; and opens up their eyes to a world new to them; a world dictated by ideologies and material need. Ultimately they find themselves caught in the conflict between the Military and Rebels. Brutus is an adventure film that has a lot to say about vanishing culture threatened by man's abuses. It explores the struggle of a people who aspire to live well, with dignity and in harmony with nature.
Winner of four awards at the 2008 Cinemalaya International Film Festival!
Director Tara Illenberger will be in the Architecture Auditorium for a post-screening question-and-answer session!
