Tubig For A Small World
Dir. Dean Vargas
2006, Canada, 8 min, Video

Tubig (pronounced TOO-big) in the Filipino dialect of Tagalog means "water". Through the currents of water and the actions of two young women at opposite ends of the world, this video examines global inequalities to natural resources. Working with a creative team of young artists, Vargas combines photographs of urban Toronto with shantytown streets in Thailand and the Philippines to construct a slick motion-graphics environmental adventure.

Tubig For a Small World was made for Trinity Square Video's Themed Commission Projects égalité. While exploring critical world issues, emerging director Dean Vargas took this opportunity to connect and learn about his culture.
