Cinemalaya 2008 Entries | TRAILS OF WATER

This is an experimental film about a young boy as seen through his make-believe story. His story is about Galeno who struggles to survive in his everyday life by fetching water near a mining site. The villagers are caught in a mass paranoia when everyone becomes suspicious of a newcomer in the village. Even though this is a short film, the narrative is quite suspenseful. Violence and intrigue becomes a result of their suspicions. No one knows who the person is until the stranger reveals himself to Galeno.

This short film is also directed by Sheron Dayoc, who has another short film entry this year: Angan-Angan (Dreams). He is a graduate of Ateneo de Zamboanga University and completed Bachelor of Arts Major in Philosophy. He received training in various areas of filmmaking at Mowelfund Film Institute, the University of the Philippines Film Institute and Jesuit Communications at Ateneo de Zamboanga University.
