The Closing Night film of our New Filipino Cinema series returns for three more screenings. Starring superstar Nora Aunor, this story of unconditional love dramatizes the nature of sacrifice through the dilemma of a Bajau midwife coping with the irony of her own infertility. One of the most fascinating communities in the southern Philippines, the Bajaus are native sea-dwellers. So-called "sea gypsies," they are highly skilled at building boats, fishing, pearl diving, and mat weaving. Thy Womb is a poetic saga of island life, trapped between the devil of passion and the deep blue sea of tradition. (2012, 106 min)
