Lawrence S. Ang is an editor from the Philippines. After studying Communications in De La Salle University, he started editing in 2001, mostly corporate and broadcast videos. The first film he edited was Khavn’s “Bahag Kings” in 2005. Since then, he has been awarded for his work in editing multiple times, including accolades for films like “Respeto” and “Apocalypse Child“.
On the occasion of the #TheKhavnProject, we speak with him about his career and his many works, the role of the editor in a film, working with other editors in the same movie, and of course, Khavn.
Can you give us some info on your background on cinema?
I studied Communications in De La Salle University, where I took an Experimental Film class under Mowelfund’s Ricky Orellana. In a field trip for that class, we had the opportunity to sit in on a color grading session for Jon Red’s Still Lives.

Pick of the WeekApocalypse Child
What is it? A young man in the Filipino town of Baler suspects he may have been fathered by a certain American director who filmed a Vietnam war epic in town several years prior.
Why buy it? The identity of finding the truth about his father is a catalyst of sorts here, but it’s far from the focus of Mario Cornejo and co-writer Monster Jimenez’s beautiful, raw, and affecting film. Instead it’s the idea of escaping one’s past through self-deception and distraction that pervades the screen alongside gorgeous visuals and performances. You can’t look away no matter how much you may want to. There...

With the image I had of the Philippines being largely formed by the ragtag surroundings of poorness and drama, Brillante Mendoza paints on his films, “Apocalypse Child” was a surprise for me, as the scenery of the beach in Baler provides a radically different perspective on the country.
The script is inspired by the shooting of “Apocalypse Now” in the area, as the crew of the film had quite a lot of “contact” with local girls, with many of those affairs resulting in illegitimate children. One of those children is Ford, a champion surfer, whose mother, Chona supposedly had him with Francis Ford Coppola himself (thus the name), when she was just 14 years old. At the time the story begins, Ford has a new girlfriend, Fiona, who seems to have touched something very deep inside him. However, when his childhood friend Rich, currently a senator, returns in the area with Serena,...

For 10 years, Five Flavours Film Festival has been presenting the best cinema from Asia, its meanings and contexts. Initially, the Festival focused solely on Vietnamese films, but it evolved to become a yearly review of the cinema of East and Southeast Asia, the only such event in the country.

This year’s edition of Five Flavours is the biggest in history – it presents over 40 productions. The program combines artistic and commercial cinema, allowing the audience to experience the best Asian films have to offer.

Kankuro Kudo’s anarchic Japanese comedy has triumphed at the 15th New York Asian Film Festival, which executive director Samuel Jamier said drew record audiences.
Too Young To Die! received its North American premiere at the festival, and stars Ryunosuke Kamiki as a student sent to Buddhist hell after a freak bus accident, only to make a pact with a guitar-shredding demon to be reincarnated and reunite with his high school crush.
Toho Co Ltd handles international sales. Tomoya Nagase also stars as the demon.
Showbox’s South Korean thrillers Inside Men from Woo Min-ho and A Violent Prosecutor from Lee Il-hyeong came second and third in the poll.
Inside Men’s Lee Byung-hun attended the festival to receive one of three Star Asia Awards.
Fourth was Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit’s offbeat rom-com Heart Attack from Thailand, while Mario Cornejo’s surfing relationship drama Apocalypse Child from the Philippines ranked fifth.
