Description

The end is near! In this haunting film, residents of a rural village are shocked when the sun rises in the West one morning. According to Islamic belief, this phenomenon signals the Apocalypse or Qiyamah. As the village confronts its secrets and myths, a family reconciles with its own dark past. With striking and stark black-and-white cinematography, Qiyamah comes from southern Mindanao, a region of rising independent film activity. (2012, 95 min)
