Paraiso (2015)

Curiosidades

Paraiso is a 2015 Philippine documentary film directed by Nash Ang. Focusing on the aftermath of Super Typhoon Haiyan, the Category 5 storm that hit the Visayas in November 2013 and claimed over 6,300 lives, the film follows child survivors as they try to rebuild. A review in the Philippine Daily Inquirer highlighted the documentary's portrayal of these children's "struggles as they live on and rebuild their lives in what was once their 'paraiso' or paradise."

Production

Ang initiated the documentary project while pursuing his filmmaking studies at the Korea National University of Arts under the Art Major Asian scholarship program. Having traveled to Leyte approximately one month after Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in November 2013, he began documenting the local recovery efforts.

The film was produced by Victor Villanueva, with Ang and Ronnie Gamboa Jr. serving as both co-cinematographers. Featuring a musical score composed by Miguel Lorca, the documentary was described by CineEco festival organizers as a form of direct cinema that "shows the lives of Filipinos, young and old alike, a month after supertyphoon 'Yolanda'... hit the country in 2013."
