“I think it’s still relevant because the film is really about what happens next,” she tells me over Zoom. “You’ve seen the film, yes, it’s nostalgic, but it can’t just stay in nostalgia, right? It has to be a question of, yeah, we did that. What else can we do? Where are you in this space? Where are you in this scenario, what do you stand for? And what are you willing to do? How are you gonna engage? That’s really what the film is about.
Sundance is always fantastic. I love that audience and I’m so comfortable at Sundance. And Sundance audiences really root for the filmmaker. They want you to succeed. You almost feel their excitement. So I’ve always loved that festival. It’s not Cannes, right? Where they can boo you. But of course, when I spoke to the audience after the screening and during the Q&A, I found out what they really felt. So it was like, I just have to remember, a really different audience. It’s a very privileged audience.
While revisiting the film, I’ve noticed that the camerawork is pretty straightforward and former vice president Leni Robredo is often captured from a distance, save for moments where she’s revealing more intimate encounters. Has it always been the visual lexicon you had for the film? When it’s prime lenses, Maria was in her home. And she wasn’t being allowed to travel, she wasn’t running around the country, right? So all of Maria’s are prime lenses. And also you see a very different Maria in it. She’s more vulnerable.
