July 20-29 marked a special occasion in the Philippine independent cinema scene, the 2007 Cinemalaya Film festival. From all around the Philippines, the best talent in independent filmmaking gather together and share their works to the world. Nine full length films and ten short films have been selected for competition. The full length films are:
Ligaw Liham, a drama about interrupted lives set in Negros;
Pisay, a slice of life drama comedy about students of the Philippine Science High School;
Tribu, a movie about street gangs in Tondo;
Still Life, an offbeat lovestory;
Tukso, a Rashomon like village tale,
Kadin, a simple story about children living in Basilan;
Gulong, the life of a boy and a bicycle;
Endo, with love stories and contract jobs;
and Sinungaling na Buwan, a movie about the "end of the affair" for three couples.
In addition to the above films, they'll be showing a load of other films, mostly films and shorts from previous festivals and world premieres of other films. I'll try to cover as much as I can in the next few posts...
