Lino Brocka's 1974 classic 'Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang' has just been restored in 4K.
With Weighed But Found Wanting, Cineteca di Bologna and L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory once again celebrate the work of Lino Brocka, following the restorations of Insiang (1976) and Manila in the Claws of Light (Maynila sa Kuko ng Liwanag, 1975) in 2015, which helped bring renewed international attention to the Filipino master of cinema.
Weighed But Found Wanting (Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang, 1974), now restored to its original splendour, will screen in the "Cinemalibero" section of the 40th edition of Il Cinema Ritrovato. Restored in 4K in 2026 by the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), the Philippine Film Archives (PFA), Carlotta Films, and Janus Films – The Criterion Collection at L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory, from the original picture and sound negatives, with the exception of reels 1 and 6. These elements were restored, respectively, from a combined internegative and a positive print preserved at the BFI National Archive, who provided the scans. — Il Cinema Ritrovato
