11TH CINEMANILA SNEAK PREVIEW

Catch an exclusive sneak preview of “LOLA,” the latest work from Brillante Mendoza. Preceded by his film Kinatay (The Execution of P), which earned him the prestigious Best Director Award at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival last May 2009, Lola is slated as the Philippine surprise entry in the 66th Venice Film Festival, (Main Competition) which counts acclaimed filmmaker Ang Lee as Chairman of this year' jury.

Starring Philippine cinema icon Anita Linda in the leading role, Lola is about two elderly women who try to cope and survive life’s harsher realities for the elderly. Both bear the consequences of a crime involving their respective grandsons — one is the victim, the other is the suspect. Both weak and poor, they laboriously solicit money in the midst of a storm — one for the victim’s burial, the other for the suspect’s bail bond.

You can catch it on September 22, 2009, 7 pm at Fully Booked U View, Bonifacio High Street, Taguig.

You can call us for tickets at 392-7935 or email us at cinemanila.info@gmail.com. Limited seats only, so get your tickets now.

*Film with English subtitles

Lola officially opens the 11th Cinemanila on October 15, 2009 at the Market! Market! Cinemas, but the screening is by invitation only. This is your chance to see the film before everyone else does!

Back-to-Back Cannes Champions at the 11th Cinemanila

Cannes winners Brillante Ma. Mendoza and Raymond Red open and close the 11th Cinemanila International Film Festival, which is scheduled to run from October 15-25, 2009 at the Market! Market! Cinemas, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Cannes 2008 Best Director Brillante Ma. Mendoza's latest film Lola, which opens Cinemanila on October 15, is also the Philippines’ surprise entry to this year’s Venice Film Festival. Meanwhile, Cannes Palme d’Or winner (for his short film Anino) Raymond Red's first major film in nine years Himpapawid (Manila Skies) closes Cinemanila on October 25. Himpapawid is the RP’s entry to this year’s prestigious Tokyo Film Festival.

This year’s Cinemanila is presented by the Cinemanila International Film Festival Foundation and the City of Taguig. For more information on the 11th Cinemanila International Film Festival, log on to www.cinemanila.org.ph.

11th Cinemanila Kicks Off with Brillante Mendoza’s Lola

Starting things off with a bang, the 11th Cinemanila International Film Festival showcases Brillante Mendoza’s latest work, Lola, as its opening film. Director Mendoza’s latest work, Lola was preceded by his film Kinatay (The Execution of P), which earned him the prestigious Best Director Award at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival last May 2009. Lola is slated as the Philippine surprise entry in the 66th Venice Film Festival, (Main Competition) which counts acclaimed filmmaker Ang Lee as Chairman of this year' jury.

Starring Philippine cinema icon Anita Linda in the leading role, Lola is about two elderly women who try to cope and survive life’s harsher realities for the elderly. Both bear the consequences of a crime involving their respective grandsons — one is the victim, the other is the suspect. Both weak and poor, they laboriously solicit money in the midst of a storm — one for the victim’s burial, the other for the suspect’s bail bond.

The association between Cinemanila and Mendoza goes way back, as the festival was one of the very first to give this now world-renowned filmmaker international recognition. Mendoza won the Grand Prize and Best Director Award in Cinemanila’s Digital Lokal competition – his first international award – for his film Manoro with Christian Jeune of Cannes Film Festival at the helm of the 2006 Main Competition Jury. Mendoza was also the Director in Focus during the festival’s momentous 10th edition last year. And for Cinemanila 2009, Mendoza is now head of the Main Competition Jury of this year’s festival.

Raymond Red’s Himpapawid is Cinemanila’s Closing Film

Closing the curtain to the upcoming 11th Cinemanila International Film Festival is the much-anticipated Himpapawid (Manila Skies) from award-winning independent filmmaker Raymond Red. Himpapawid, Red’s most recent film, is the closing film of the 2009 edition of the festival, which will run from October 15-25, 2009 at the Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

An official entry in the Main Competition of the 2009 Tokyo International Film Festival, Himpapawid tells “the astounding story of a lone deranged hijacker pushed to the edge of insanity as he struggles with the oppression of surviving in modern Philippine society.” Inspired by the true story of the May 2000 PAL Flight 812 hijacking en route from Davao to Manila, the film follows the tale of a desperate man from the countryside on a wretched path to destruction that ultimately leads him to the insane hijacking of a plane. The film showcases Raul Arellano in his first lead role together with veteran actors John Arcilla and Ronnie Lazaro.

Red, who secured the 2000 Cannes Palme d’Or for his short film Anino (Shadows), is one of the pioneers of the modern Filipino independent cinema movement. As the source of inspiration for a new generation of independent filmmakers, he has been honing his craft at the outskirts of Philippine cinema while being a regular lecturer to numerous film workshops and mentor to a number of well-known indie filmmakers, doing his utmost to promote the independent scene movement..

###

The 11th Cinemanila International Film Festival will be held from October 15 to 25, 2009 in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. Around 100 international and local films will be screened in a span of 10 days - from the current toasts of the local indie scene to the award-winners and favourites at prestigious festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, Rotterdam, Sundance, and Pusan. The festival will also feature workshops, seminars and master classes. For more info, contact cinemanila.entries@... and cinemanila@... or go to www.cinemanila.org.ph.

The 2009 Cinemanila is presented by the City of Taguig and the Cinemanila Interrnational Film Festival Foundation, in cooperation with Cinema One, Click the City, Buisness World, Philippine Star, Pep..ph, Spot.ph, Web Philippines, and the World Cinema Fund.

Tragic news for the filmmaking community. Film Critic Alexis Tioseco and his girlfriend Nika Bohinc were murdered last night at their home at Times Street, Quezon City. I'll just quote Ewong Martinez from his Facebook status: "Just heard this report over DZMM Tele-radyo: One of the maids (Magdalena) was kept in the room and gagged. There are 4 suspects; apparently, the other maid (Criselda) was the one who let in the three robbers. Later, Magdalena heard gunshots when Alexis and Nika had arrived....... The suspects got away with a white Ford Lynx. Magdalena then struggled out and called for help."

Let us pray for Alexis, Nika and their families, and for the swift apprehension of the culprits...

Subject: Art and Regulation: UPFI's SineSiyasat Forum Series 1 on Mar 19, 6pm

SineSiyasat Forum Series 1:
Art and Regulation

When we talk about �control� in the practices and production of art, do we put emphasis on form or content? When do we draw the line between regulation for the purposes of direction/development and repressive/oppressive intervention? As art functions in service to the society, how can/should the agents of the society be of service to art? Up to what borders shall art be regulated? Moreso, do we need regulations? What is it for? At present, does it serve its purpose?

This forum queries on several issues on art � freedom of expression, censorship, institutional assistance, and the dynamics of exhibition, among others. Art and Regulation will be held on March 19, 2009, at 6pm, at the Ishmael Bernal Gallery as the first of a series of forums/symposia/seminars under the SineSiyasat Project of UPFI.

SineSiyasat aims to provide a venue for discussions and educational dialogue between scholars, practitioners and students of film and the other arts. It wishes to interrogate, dissect and address important issues concerning filmmakers, artists, academicians and students.

SineSiyasat is an extension project of the UP Film Institute. For confirmation of attendance and other inquiries, contact Bang Dizon at 920-6863 or Avie Felix at 926-2722, or email upfi.adarna@....

"Bye-Bye Birdie"
Dokumentaryo ni Howie Severino para sa I-Witness
January 26, 2009

         Kadalasan, ginagamit sa dagat ang mga lambat para ipanghuli ng
isda. Pero sa mga kabundukan ng Luzon , ginagamit ang mga net na ito
para manghuli ng mga makukulay at kakaibang ibong matatagpuan o
bumibisita sa Pilipinas.

         Sa dokumentaryo ni Howie Severino para sa I-Witness ngayong
Lunes, kikilalanin ni Howie kasama ng kanyang team ang mga tinatawag
na mag-aakik, mga taong nanghuhuli ng ibon para gawing pagkain.
Aalamin ni Howie kung paano naging bahagi ng kanilang kultura ang
panghuhuli at pagkain ng mga ibong ito. Sa pagpunta nila sa Nueva
Vizcaya, sasamahan sila nina Arnel Telesforo at Nicky Icaringal, mga
bird lovers na maigting na nangangampanya para sa proteksyon at
preserbasyon ng kanilang mga kaibigang ibon.

         Pupunta rin si Howie sa Balanga, Bataan kung saan libo-libong
migratory birds din ang makikita, pero hindi naman sinasaktan. Dito,
nire-rekord ang kanilang bilang at kinukunan ng litrato ni Arnel,
kasama ng iba pang bird enthusiasts.

         Sa dokumentaryong ito, susubuking sagutin ni Howie at ng
kanyang team kung ano nga ba ang dapat mas pahalagahan: ang
pangangailangan ng tao o ang kapakanan ng hayop? At sa bandang huli,
mananatili na lang bang mga manonood ang mga dokumentaristang gaya ni
Howie, o gagawa sila ng hakbang para makalaya ang mga nahuling ibon?

Isang dokumentaryong gigising sa inyong kamalayan ang mapapanood sa
"Bye-bye Birdie," dokumentaryo ni Howie Severino para sa I-Witness
ngayong Lunes ng hatinggabi.



"Bye-Bye Birdie"
(Counting the ways of loving birds)
Howie Severino's I-Witness documentary
January 26, 2009

Fish nets are designed to catch fish. But in the cold mountain passes
of Luzon , in the darkest of nights, fish nets sweep the air to catch
wild birds. Some of the birds are colorful and rare, but nearly all
are eaten. More than a few could be migratory birds bringing in bird flu.

Howie Severino and his team of adventure-seeking documentarists hang
out with these native bird trappers and try to understand their rugged
culture and raw motivations. Accompanying the documentarists on their
journey to Nueva Vizcaya are two passionate bird lovers, artist Arnel
Telesforo and bird guide Nicky Icarangal, who struggle to come to
terms with the harsh treatment of their feathered friends, and remind
viewers that the Filipino's relationship with the wild is changing.

Howie and his team also venture with Arnel to Balanga, Bataan where
wild migratory birds in the thousands are not harmed. Rather, in the
bright morning sun, they are counted, recorded, and photographed by
Arnel and friends with tender loving care.

In this story of life and death, set in both night and day, I-Witness
finds a parable that encompasses both the ruthless force of human need
and the redemptive power of compassion.

The documentary ends with a stark choice facing the documentarists: do
they remain detached observers of willful killing or do they cross the
line to extend innocent life?

Howie Severino's thought-provoking documentary airs this Monday on
I-Witness after the late night newscast Saksi.

“The lives of saints and men and women of history offer so many lessons and I find their stories of transformations and redemption very appealing. The many tribulations they faced and how they triumphed from it all present so many lessons and inspiration, which sad to say barely reach the young, that is why I am making them as plays,” answers Francis Villacorta, talent-manager, writer and director when asked why he is undertaking this present endeavor.

“Through our offerings in Francis Villacorta Presents, we will bring this advocacy of mine to fruition and we see theater as the best medium to use for this cause since we all know the power of theater to inform, entertain and educate,” he adds.

“Dominic” is the first production of Francis Villacorta Presents. It is a concert drama on the life of Dominic Savio, the boy saint who led a blessed life and died in his teens. A student of St. John Bosco, the young boy lived by the motto: “Death but not Sin”.

During his lifetime, Dominic exemplified the many fine qualities of youth and exhibited all the virtues of a saint.

Performing in Dominic are Christian Vallaser, Richard Manabat, Andrei David, Troy De Guzman, Gina Villa, Abel Napuran, Patrick Jimenez, Jahymarie Villacorta, John Rhoderey and Joshua Matthew Dizon, Robert Correa and Perry Escaño. The play also features an interactive band performance by the Rollback Band.

In February, Francis Villacorta Presents the Jose P. Laurel Story, a play chronicling the life of former President Laurel from his youth to the founding of the Lyceum of the Philippines; and come March, The Life of Saint Augustine, a musical on the life of Augustine of Hippo, set to the music of Waldy del Rosario.

In August till the end of 2009, the following productions will come to life on stage – The Chronicles of Narnia, a trilogy of O. Henry Stories specifically The Last Leaf, After Twenty Years and The Gift of the Magi, play adaptations of Cinema Paradiso and La Strada, and Fransico Baltazar.

Francis Villacorta Presents Dominic is slated on January 30, 2009, 6pm., at the Savio Dome, Don Bosco Technical Institute Makati.

Subject: Dante Nico Garcia named Best Director in Singapore

Even though Ploning director Dante Nico Garcia is busy advocating
for his film Ploning in the United States, he took time to attend
the Asian Festival of 1st Films (AFFF), which took place at
Singapore from December 4 to 10.

Direk Ga (Dante's nickname) introduced his film about Ploning, a
woman from Cuyo, Palawan (portrayed by Judy Ann Santos) but he did
not stay for the awarding ceremony that took place last December 11.
Ploning producer Jourdan Sebastian accepted the trophy in behalf of
Direk Ga.

The effort was well worth it since the first-time director was able
to beat three directors of the films Firaaq (India), Ganglamedo
(China), and Little Zizou (India). According to the official website
of AAFF, the Filipino director was awarded Best Director
for "successfully creating an extraordinary love story filled with
local flavour in his film Ploning."

In a phone interview with Direk Tikoy Aguiluz, he informed PEP
(Philippine Entertainment Portal) about the triumph of Ploning in
the Asian Festival of 1st Films.

Direk Tikoy, described by AAFF as a leading figure in the
alternative cinema movement in the Philippines, was one of the three
jury members who chose this year's winners. The other members were
Hong Kong director Yim Ho, Silver Bear winner in Berlinale for the
1996 film The Sun Has Ears, and Nadia Tass, one of Australia's most
respected and unique filmmakers.

The Best Film award went to Firaaq, which is written and directed by
actress Nandita Das. She also took home the awards for Best
Screenplay and the Foreign Correspondents Association Purple Orchid
Award for Best Film.

Another Philippine entry, Pisay directed by Auraeus Solito, was
nominated in the Best Producer category but it did not bag the
prize. Aside from being nominated for Best Director, Ploning was
also shortlisted in the Best Screenplay category.

This year, a total of 638 submissions came from 26 countries for the
fourth edition of the AAFF. The list was trimmed down to 28 films
and documentaries that competed for the 11 awards categories.
