Hulagway

A quiet, poetic meditation on language and landscape that asks for patient attention and rewards it with a sense of loss and wonder.

Overview: This documentary features the endangered languages of the Dupaninan Agta in Isabela, and the Tandulanen Tagbanua in Palawan, Philippines. The film follows the journey of Consuelo and Robert against the backdrop of the changing ecosystem in the grasslands of Isabela, where endemic grasses are being slowly displaced by invasive foreign species, and ends in the beaches of Palawan once inhabited by mythological crabs. As a poetic and lyrical rumination on the beauty of words, this docu shows how language is indeed the soul of a culture.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest and warm. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Identity, memory, nature, isolation
