FILIPIÑANA
Rafael Manuel Executive Produced By Jia Zhangke · 2026 · PHILIPPINES · 100 min
View at Film Forum17-year-old Isabel navigates the opulent pavilions and lush green landscapes of Dr. Palanca’s luxury golf course as a newly-hired “tee girl.” Meticulously composed, highly stylized, and guided by precisely choreographed movement and deadpan delivery, FILIPIÑANA unfolds through the gradual accumulation of everyday encounters between staff and the wealthy clients of this secluded country club on the outskirts of Manila. When she attempts to return a lost golf club, Isabel uncovers a dark underbelly beneath the club’s pristine surfaces, in this sweltering, pastel-colored fairy tale of class division, institutional patriarchy, and invisible violence.
