Review: Botong Francisco: A Nation Imagined by Peque Gallaga


Botong Francisco: A Nation Imagined is a rare gathering of over 40 works, including large-scale paintings, by Botong from several public and private collections. Several studies and sketches included in the display were never seen in public before. 

I’ve been able to watch the special screening of this film on Cinemalaya 2013. A documentary about the works of paintings of national artist Botong Francisco. This is a good medium to show us the famous painting that was done by Botong Francisco. The treatment that was done here are paintings are turn into real life and it is effective to remind us and show us what kind of work Botong is doing in his painting. His vision and mission as an artist and what can he see in his eyes was turn into a painting.


My Verdict: 3.5/5


Direk Peque Gallaga
