    Tondo, Beloved... is an extraordinary documentary on the subjects of neocolonialism, birth, youth, adulthood, and death in the oldest port district of Manila. It's an intimate portrait of the cycle of life in the notorious Tondo, a place of extreme poverty and one of the most densely populated areas in the world. The filmmaker (who lived in Tondo over a period of years while making the film) handles this complex subject matter with quiet, delicate grace, never editorializing or exoticizing. She is also co-creator and co-owner of Cinema is Incomplete, a free film-sharing and film conversation project based in Manila.

    Directed byJewel Maranan
