What do they say about .Mov?

“.MOV Fest is basically unsubsidized but it demonstrates the vitality of a small yet unruly and very vivacious group of filmmakers. And I only had to say “yes” to be there.”
— GERTJAN ZUILHOF, International Film Festival Rotterdam programmer

.MOV International Film, Music, & Literature Festival was established in January 2002 by filmmaker Khavn De La Cruz. It is the Philippines’ first digital film festival, as well as the world’s only creative initiative that celebrates film, music, and literature exclusively.

.MOV Fest kicked off in 2002 in Greenbelt, becoming the first ever digital film festival in the Philippines, established long before Cinemalaya and Cinema One Originals. The main goal has always been to advance the cause of the digital revolution in the local scene by showcasing films from Philippine and foreign directors, both veterans and amateurs. The first .MOV Fest proved to be a success, compelling festival director Khavn De La Cruz to stage a second one in 2005 in SM Cebu. The theme of the second edition focused on Southeast Asian Cinema while the third edition, held in Robinson’s Movieworld in 2008, paid tribute to the pillars of the local independent digital film movement Kidlat Tahimik, Lav Diaz, and Rox Lee.

In the past, .MOV Fest has built upon its reputation as a credible gathering of cinema enthusiasts throughout the nation, having invited major international personalities such as Rob Nilsson (Cannes & Sundance winner, USA), Roger Gonin (Festival Director of Clermont-Ferrand, France), and Andrew Boulton (BBC, UK).

The 4th .MOV International Film, Music, & Literature Festival will run from September 1 to 6, 2011. This year, .MOV Fest will be taking upon its shoulders the world premiere of the films by directors championed by Alexis Tioseco and Nika Bohinc, such as Lav Diaz, John Torres, Raya Martin, Sherad Anthony Sanchez, and more. It will also include cinematic treats from around Southeast Asia and World Cinema. And, because the 4th .MOV Fest will also be celebrating music and literature, expect activities that feature the best Philippine songwriters and literary figures. This makes .MOV Fest the first ever local festival that will combine all three in one event.

Another thing to look forward to this year’s festival is the staple Silvershorts competition, wherein aspiring filmmakers are encouraged to submit their short films. Previous Silvershorts directors such as Ato Bautista, Quark Henares, Chris Martinez have gone on to become full-fledged, recognized directors both here and abroad. This year’s Jury panel will include Chris Fujiwara (USA/Japan), Kong Rithdee (Thailand), Vanja Kaludjercic (Croatia/France).

The 4th .MOV International Film, Music, & Literature Festival is dedicated to the memory of film critics Alexis Tioseco and Nika Bohinc.See More

It is indeed the Opening.MOV this September 1, 2011. Thursday. 1:30pm to 11pm at The Podium, Activity Center. ADB Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig City

Here are the schedules:

1:30pm: 4th SILVERSHORTS 2011: Philippine Short Film Competition (Various Directors, Philippines. 2hrs, 5min)

3:30pm: SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR
(Roy Andersson, Sweden. 1hr, 38min)
In a sour, gray city, filled with pale drunken salarymen and parading flagellants, everything goes wrong, pain is laughed at, businesses fail, traffic seizes up and a girl is made into a human sacrifice to save a corporation. Roy Andersson's "Songs From the Second Floor" is a collision at the intersection of farce and tragedy--the apocalypse as a joke on us.

6pm: Cocktails

9pm: Opening Film:
YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER
(Tan Chui Mui, Malaysia. 1hr 27min)
A sensitive film, constructed as ebb and flow. In the first part, old friends look back on their childhood by the light of the moon. In the second part, young people come together in a place in the sun. The director of "Love Conquers All," Rotterdam winner in 2007, shot the film in the Malaysian village where she was born.
The first part of Year Without a Summer is set largely in the moonlight. On the evening when the singer Azam returns to the village he was so eager to flee as a little boy, he goes fishing in a boat with his friend Ali and his friend’s wife Minah.
They bob around in a boat as they tell each other old myths. When Minah shows she can hold her breath for three minutes and Azam does the same later, the camera waits calmly with the others until the time has passed. But for Azam that starts to last a very long time.

Special Screening of Lino Brocka's Dung-aw--FREE ADMISSION!

0 comments
This is a must see for my eldest Gabriel and I. It's where I derived his name, that's why. And it's FREE!!

Dung-aw is a historical and musical film that glimpses into the heroism of 18th century revolutionary leader Gabriela Silang (Armida Siguion-Reyna). Scriptwriter Mario O’Hara depicts the courage and compassion of Gabriela, despite limited information about her. Set in the time of Spaniards’ usurpation of land, products and the indulto de comercio, landowning couple Diego and Gabriela resorts to tricking the colonizers with the aid of their people. A farm hand betrays them, leading to the assassination of Diego. Diego’s death leads Gabriela to pick up her long knife and lead the revolution herself despite great odds. She is eventually captured and publicly executed. A young revolutionary in Gabriela’s army keeps his knife and awaits for the coming of a second Gabriela.

Dung-aw refers to an Ilocano tradition of extolling a deceased person’s good deeds, much like a pasyon in Lent. In the film, Gabriela’s dung-aw cries out her bravery and continuing quest for freedom.

Screening is tomorrow, August 10, 7pm at the UP Film Center, Cine Adarna, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City . This is part of the 3rd Pandayang Lino Brocka Political Film and New Media Festival. It is for Free admission or it's also not painful to have P10 donation ticket.

Salamat sa Tudla Productions for this festival!
