Death March is a 2013 Philippine war drama directed by Adolfo Alix, Jr. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. The story depicts the infamous World War II Bataan Death March.

Production

The film was shot in black and white, and used hand-painted backdrops. Film director Adolfo Alix, Jr. initially decided to film on location, but decided to shoot with artificial sets after consulting with the production designer to "heighten the surreal feeling of the film". Fifteen artists hand-painted the backdrops for around two months, and the film exceeded its budget.

When asked on his motivations to create to film, the director mentioned that he found grandfather's anecdotes on the Second World War interesting, and that he considered Death March a suitable conclusion to a trilogy of his previous films Liberation and Kalayaan.
