PHOTOGRAPHY & FILMMAKING / VIDEOGRAPHY PORTFOLIO

24 short films — collection of cinematic meditations on everyday life

Joni Gutierrez's educational web series on Film aesthetics, production, history, theory, and research

44 mins, experimental documentary | In the experimental film, Twelve Hundred Miles (2015), I juxtapose scenes of Hong Kong and Beijing shot in 2014. It exhibits my perspective as a foreign postgraduate student who is faced with a strong need to understand the intricacies within Hong Kong and mainland China relations.

69 mins, documentary | Takes a casual but discursively rich look into the lives of Filipino Americans. The film applies the direct cinema style in fleshing out a phenomenology of immigrant life. Screened at “FACINE XX/bente: The 20th Annual Filipino American Cine Festival” on 11 Dec 2013 in San Francisco

Nominee, Gawad Urian Awards 2010 for Best Cinematography: Joni Gutierrez
