7:00 PM
The Al Robles Express
(1:18 minutes)
Five artists travel to the Philippines in honor of San Francisco Manilatown poet Al Robles to explore the tribal lands that lived in Al's literary imagination. What this film is about is one’s eternal search to find themselves and to find home. Because, until you find home, you won’t find yourself. Above that, it’s about artists and poets expression; defining what art is and how non-artists can relate and apply it to their lives.
Producer/Director/Camera: Chet Canlas
