The 7th Moon
The 7th Moon is an experimental short film written and directed by Tony Dia. It is a reinterpretation of the ancient Filipino tale of Bakunawa and the seven moons as an allegory for an abusive relationship. The story follows the "7th Moon" and his partner, Bakunawa, exploring their relationship as it progresses in a destructive cycle of control, longing, and escape.
