Lavrente Indico Diaz, alias Lav Diaz, is a director, screenwriter, producer and actor from the Philippines, who was born in 1958. Considered one of the most original directors on the contemporary cinema scene, he has described the darkest chapters of the history of his country in his films crudely and with profound lyricism. Since 1998, he has made eighteen feature films and won a number of international awards, such as the prize for the Best Film at the Singapore Festival with Batang west side (2001), the Horizons prize at the Venice Film Festival for Death in the Land of Encantos (2007) and for Melancholia (2008), the Golden Pardo at the Locarno Film Festival for From What Is Before (2014), the Silver Bear for A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery at the Berlin Film Festival in 2016 and the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival forThe Woman Who Left (2016).
