Unfolding across the sun-drenched fields and dark city streets of the Filipino island of Luzon, NORTE, THE END OF HISTORY is a tale of murder, hate and hope from one of the world’s most uncompromising cinematic visionaries. In Filipino, Tagalog and English with English subtitles. | Screening format: DCP
