| Abstract | Sa Pagdapo’t Paglipad is a personal documentary film that explores grief, memory, and womanhood within a Filipino family, focusing on women mourning the loss of a maternal figure. Rooted in the filmmaker’s personal experience of maternal loss, the project draws on Dennis Klass’s Continuing Bonds Theory and Robert Neimeyer’s Meaning Reconstruction to examine how emotional and symbolic connections with the deceased endure over time. Informed by feminist film theory and Deleuze’s concept of time-image cinema, the film uses nonlinear and contemplative vignettes—including archival footage—to center women’s voices and challenge traditional cinematic portrayals and gendered expectations of grief. This documentary contributes to grief studies by reclaiming female mourning as a space for narrative, emotional, and political agency. Furthermore, the film contributes to Philippine cinema by expanding documentary practices rooted in personal and intergenerational storytelling. It highlights underrepresented narratives of female grief and foregrounds women's role as memory-keepers and emotional anchors in Filipino mourning culture. |
