"WHAT HAPPENED AFTER 1986?"
20 YEARS. 20 FILMS. 20 FILMMAKERS. 1 NATION.

IMAHE NASYON… a groundbreaking, conceptual omnibus film by 20
alternative filmmakers who were tasked to present their personal
visions on national issues. It is underlined by a conceptual question
asked by line producers Jon Red & Carol Bunuan-Red:

"How do you see the past 20 years?"

In 2006, IMAHE NASYON attempts to answer the question.
That question also became a thematic and uniting thread across the
films, but each film is made of different cinematic genres that is
representative of the filmmaker's style, stressing the concept that in
spite of individual visions we share the same goal: to depict a
truthful image of the nation.

The omnibus project was conceptualized by Jon and Carol in
commemoration of Edsa 1, a political revolution that changed their
generation forever. It is also a celebration of the struggle and
growth of Philippine Independent Cinema which, in essence, is a
cultural revolution only now gaining public acceptance.

A unique and common element in IMAHE NASYON is rising Indie actor PING MEDINA
who is featured in all the 20 films. He represents the next
generation who will play a crucial role in the direction of the nation
and its image.
