WHY I WON'T WATCH ANY FILMS IN THE METRO MANILA FILM
FESTIVAL
It has long been said that Philippine Cinema is on its
death-bed. This statement is incorrect. The
Philippine film industry, not Cinema as a whole, is;
and rightly so. Hundreds of millions of pesos are
wasted by the Film Industry investing in works that
can not hold a candle to smaller, independent
productions, both long (Lav Diaz's towering
achievements: the 5-hour "Batang West Side" and the
11-hour "Ebolusyon ng Isang Pamilyang Pilipino," which
has screened in New York and Toronto, and will also be
travelling to Rotterdam and Goteborg) and short
(Sherad Anthony Sanchez's 11-minute "Apple," a
powerful moving, elegy on the loss of youth and
innocence through child-prostitution, premiering in
Rotterdam this January, alongside "Ebolusyon" and
works by Khavn Dela Cruz and Rox Lee) that are
invested with passion and made with purpose.
Earlier this year I wrote I an article about the Metro
Manila Film Festival for Indiefilipino.com
(http://film.indiefilipino.com/item.php?id=118),
lamenting not just the lack of desire to show quality
films, but also the ridiculous selection process of
the "festival". Said article can be read at the end of
this email.
This year's festival is an even bigger mockery than
the last, with 4 of the 8 participating films being
produced or co-produced by Regal Films head Mother
Lily and 3 films being directed by Joel Lamangan.
How is that for pushing for a progressive diverse
cinema?
The Philippine Film Industry is on its death-bed...the
Metro Manila Film Festival is holding the last nail to
seal its coffin. The audience holds the hammer.
If you want to see the best of what Philippine Cinema
has to offer, if you want stand up for the choice of
better movies, better values, and a better cinema, do
not watch any of the films in the Metro Manila Film
Festival. I certainly won't.
REINVIGORATING PHILIPPINE CINEMA:
The Possibilities of the Metro Manila Film Festival
by Alexis Tioseco
Alexis Tioseco writes about the inanity that is the
Metro Manila Film Festival, and suggests ways in which
to improve the farce.
Audiences and industry folk alike have long been
preaching the death of Philippine cinema. We gaze back
fondly through sepia shades and smile at the glory of
our past, shake and scratch our heads lamenting over
our pathetic present, and blink and miss opportunities
to improve our future.
The Metro Manila Film Festival is a great idea to
support the local film industry. It reserves the time
of year when most people are able to enjoy days of
leisure, and allows only locally-produced films to be
shown in commercial theaters. At the same time, it
stages a "film festival," a term that carries with it
the connotation of presenting films of a
higher-than-normal quality, and supposedly highlights
our best works, bestowing them with awards and
showcasing them: allowing the films to humor, move,
teach, challenge, identify with and unite the country
in a celebration of art and the best of what the
Filipino is capable of.
The Metro Manila Film Festival is a great idea to
support the local film industry.
Unfortunately, it is only an idea.
