Filipiñana Film Poster Design
Filipiñana is a film written and directed by Rafael Manuel. I was approached to create a unique and fully illustrated poster that would stand out in film festivals.
The film went on to have its World Premiere in the main Shorts Competition of the 70th Berlinale where it was awarded the Shorts Silver Bear Jury Prize.
The “tee-girls” fulfil their duties stoically, squatting in the dust as they sort golf balls. They fish them out of the water-lily-covered ponds and place them for the golfers as they swing their clubs narrowly past the girls’ faces. Their boss surveys the scene sternly, watching everything and everyone. Isabel still has to learn the ropes but is already looking for shortcuts. The golf course as a self-contained cosmos that reflects social conditions.
