The Dryden will screen Mula sa kung ano ang noon (From What Is Before, Lav Diaz, Philippines 2014, 338 min., DCP, Tagalog w/subtitles), a Rochester Premiere.

Winner of five prizes at the Locarno Film Festival, including the Golden Leopard for Best Film, Lav Diaz's follow up to his acclaimed Norte, The End of History is an extraordinary five-and-a-half-hour epic that relates the strange, perhaps supernatural, occurrences that befall a remote village in the Philippine countryside. Don't miss this unique encounter with visions of one of the most uncompromising and original artists at work today, winner of the Golden Lion for best film at last year's prestigious Venice Film Festival.
