Lav Diaz

Lavrente 'Lav' Indico Diaz (born December 30, 1958) is a Filipino independent filmmaker and former film critic. He is known as one of the key practitioners of the slow cinema genre, producing a diverse range of some of the longest narrative films that explore social and political issues, minimalistic storytelling, long takes, and cinematic form.

Although he had been making films since the late 1990s, Diaz didn't attract much public attention outside of the Philippines and the festival circuit u
