Lav Diaz continues his prolific connection with the Venice Film
Festival, where he won the Golden Lion in 2016 for The Woman Who
Left, by returning to the current edition with his new feature
film. Let Us Through, Dear Ancestors dives once more into Filipino
history to excavate the painful heritage of Christian colonialism
through missionary work. In the Palazzo del Cinema, which comes
with its own problematic historical connections, the celebrated
filmmaker opens up to Lidanoir about the past lingering in the
present, facing a neglected chapter of history, and changes in his
unique cinematic style.
