The Canadian Film Centre (CFC) and the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) are delighted to announce the Phillipine premiere of Late Fragment in cooperation with Alliance Française de Manille. Late Fragment, an interactive film by Daryl Cloran, Anita Doron, Mateo Guez, Anita Lee, and Ana Serrano, addresses a new language for filmmaking in the 21st century, where viewers can impact the way the story unfolds by navigating the interlocking narratives of the film with a simple click of their remote. This interactive film is an important model of collaboration in leading-edge experimental dramatic content and format that will be engrained into Canada’s filmmaking history.

The premiere presentation of this powerful and unique interactive film will take place at ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE DE MANILLE ONDEO AUDITORIUM (209, Nicanor Garcia St., Bel-Air II, Makati City) on Tuesday, October 21 at 7.00PM. The performance will be followed by a Q&A with the director Mateo Guez and actor Jeff Parazzo. Late Fragment will also be screening on Thursday, October 23 at the Cinemanila Festival in Gateway Cubao and on Friday, October 24 in Mogwai in Cubao X. Please be advised that, due to some explicit and sexual content, the movie will be rated PG-18.

Late Fragment’s multi-plot, non-linear and interactive narrative lets audiences discover the stories of Faye, Kevin and Théo—three troubled strangers, three lives fractured by thoughts and acts of violence. In this feature film their narratives interlock in a unique cinematic experience in which you play a creative and interactive role. Navigating through the movie, you uncover their stories, and their secrets, at will, controlling the flow and direction of the elaborate sequencing with a simple click.

These characters, unknown to one another as well as to themselves, would never have met were it not for their participation in a series of Restorative Justice Group sessions. In this process, perpetrators and victims of violent crime, broken by their lives, look for wholeness, balance, forgiveness, safety—and perhaps even redemption. In just such a setting, Faye, Kevin and Théo are compelled to confront their histories and unravel their secrets. The truth can be plain but it is not often simple. Restorative Justice is one thing; personal amnesty, quite another. You, the audience, piece together, both literally and figuratively, the cinematic narrative in front of you.
