    Bontoc Eulogy

  • Overview

    Marlon E. Fuentes' Bontoc Eulogy is a haunting, personal exploration into the filmmaker's complex relationship with his Filipino heritage as explored through the almost unbelievable story of the 1,100 Filipino tribal natives brought to the U.S. to be a "living exhibit" at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. For those who associate the famous fair with Judy Garland, clanging trolleys, and creampuff victoriana, Bontoc Eulogy offers a disturbing look at the cultural arrogance that went hand-in-hand with the Fair's glorification of progress. The Fair was the site of the world's largest ever "ethnological display rack," in which hundreds of so-called primitive and savage men and women from all over the globe were exhibited in contrast to the achievements of Western civilization.

Rafael was the outlandish mayor of a small Andalusian village until his absent-minded eccentricities caused him to draw in the village elections. Now he has a clear objective: to win in the second elections. His best idea is to organise and star in a documentary to brag about 'his people'. Through these cameras we will get to know one of the crazy traditions of the village. But also, the criticism and laughter that his dubious management arouses, and the irrefutable prudence of Victoria, his competitor. All these problems will explode back at him... literally.
