ASTIGmatism (2004) DVDRip XviD NoSubs

An experimental digital film, written and directed by independent filmmaker Jon Red and shot on mini-digital video. The film tells the story from the point of view and through the eyes of Bien, an assassin who suffers from astigmatism. To achieve this effect, Robin Padilla also worked as camera operator while portraying the role of the killer.

The scene is a blur for a moment, before everything comes into focus. This is how Bien (Robin Padilla), an assassin afflicted with astigmatism, sees the world in Jon Red’s experimental film, Astig. The inconvenience of his condition is apparent as we view the entire story from Bien’s unfocused eyes.

This visual disability is used to highlight the concepts of vision and focus, something which Red’s characters are in a constant and often, vain struggle to realize. For instance, Doc, a former gangster turned optometrist, tells Bien, “Sana hindi magdilim paningin mo…sa buhay.” However, through a peep-hole in his office, he is discovered to be handling illegal transactions, unable to escape the life of a gangster.
