The Storyteller's Responsibility | Jerrold Tarog | TEDxLyceumPhilippinesUniversity

Films are bound to multiple interpretations. Here, Director Jerrold Tarog sheds some light on the duality of artistic license and censorship. He explains how works of filmmakers or "storytellers" could be affected by public opinion, either by audience interpretation or the law. Jerrold Tarog is a Filipino filmmaker with awards and nominations in various disciplines of the filmmaking craft. His first feature film, CONFESSIONAL (2007), which he directed, wrote, scored, edited, and mixed won 8 awards, including Best Film, at the Cinema One Originals Film Festival and Best Film (FIrst Features Category) at the 10th Osian's Cinefan in New Delhi, India. It has also garnered acclaim from international critics and audiences.

He has worked in different genres, from horror to mockumentaries to youth films to drama. His 2013 love story SANA DATI (IF ONLY) won 8 awards, including Best Film and Best Director, at the Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival, and has represented the country in various international film festivals, including Busan International Film Festival. His 2015 historical epic HENERAL LUNA has become one of the highest-grossing historical films in the history of Philippine cinema. Later this year he will release its sequel: GOYO ANG BATANG HENERAL. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
