On the occasion of his film The Missing being the official Filipino entry for the 2024 Oscars, Carl Joseph Papa talks to Panos Kotzathanasis about the success of his film starting with Cinemalaya, the personal story that inspired the script, using metaphor and animation to tell it, how art can function as a relief, working with Dolly de Leon and the rest of the cast, and many other topics.

On paper I am an Italian living in London, in reality I was born and bread in a popcorn bucket. I've loved cinema since I was a little child and I’ve always had a passion and interest for Asian (especially Japanese) pop culture, food and traditions, but on the cinema side, my big, first love is Hong Kong Cinema. Then - by a sort of osmosis - I have expanded my love and appreciation to the cinematography of other Asian countries. I like action, heroic bloodshed, wu-xia, Shaw Bros (even if it’s not my specialty), Anime, and also more auteur-ish movies. Anything that is good, really, but I am allergic to rom-com (unless it’s a HK rom-com, possibly featuring Andy Lau in his 20s)"
