Oras de Peligro at Cine Adarna of the UPFI Film Center this February 24 Friday 5 p.m.!

“With outstanding direction and riveting screenplay and a superb acting ensemble, Oras de Peligro is easily the most powerful film of the decade.

“The eerie silence from its audience before the screen credits is ominous.

“When they break out into deafening applause at the end, (it) means the film can stand with one of the outstanding feature films of the decade.” - From published review by Pablo Tariman of the latest film by Joel Lamangan

Oras de Peligro screens for a premier state university premiere on the eve of the 37th anniversary of the toppling of the Marcos dictatorship.

「映画祭」 - My Eigasai experience through the years

It has been a while since I last saw a film that I truly enjoyed. I recently watched a selection from an ongoing online screening in Eigasai, the Japanese Film Festival. I am amazed at how Eigasai has transformed since I first learned about it as a university freshman years ago. It has expanded in terms of movie selection, now including independent films in recent years, to complement the standard selection of contemporary films. There is an increase in the number of films screened and the number of screenings - apart from Metro Manila screenings, select provincial screenings are now made possible. Most importantly, the platform for access - an online platform for streaming was created to watch the films for a limited time. As I have moved to a place where I currently have no access to provincial screenings, I have greatly benefited from this online platform. But truth be told, I'd still prefer a theater screening over an online one.

I dug up my memory to recall the films I watched through the years, from 2007 until the present year, 2023.

I've completed a total of 17 films, including one film from the Haruki Murakami Festival in 2018, originally screened in an earlier line-up. I noticed that I also missed the film festival in several years (2009, 2016, 2019, and 2021-2022).

Most of the time, I watched the films alone but there were several occasions when there were opportunities to ask friends to come with me.

Eigasai usually coincided with the Philippines-Japan Friendship Month in July, with screenings running from July to August. In 2007, my roommate's high school friends from UP Rural High introduced me to Eigasai. Since they knew I was interested in Japan and Japanese culture, they invited me to watch Shimotsuma Monogatari (Kamikaze Girls) with them. The movie screened at 7PM and was estimated to end near 9PM, the time of our dormitory's curfew. As soon as the credits rolled at the end, we rushed out of Cine Adarna and ran back towards our dormitory. We were huffing, puffing, and sweating when we arrived at our dorm's lobby, glad we made it on time. Shimotsuma Monogatari is a brilliant and amusing coming-of-age movie. I was 17 at that time, the same age as the protagonists in the film. It just felt right to watch it at that time.

I first watched an Eigasai film at an Edsa Shangrila screening in 2010. The festival opening and first screenings were usually scheduled in this venue before going to other theaters. I had a Japan Studies class then wherein we were tasked to write a reaction paper about any film from the Eigasai line-up. What fit my schedule at that time was the screening of Houtai Club (Bandage Club). To this date, I think this is my favorite movie about friendship, connection, vulnerability, strength, and courage - perfect for the dynamic emotional shifts and changes experienced by adolescents.

Two very memorable films for me wherein I remember having shed a lot of tears were Okuribito (Departures) and Itai: Asu e no Tōkakan (Reunion) which I watched in 2011 and 2014 respectively. After watching these movies, I am reminded of the strength of the human spirit, resiliency, and to remain dignified in times of great distress, especially when things are beyond our control.

In 2017, I visited my second hometown, Iloilo City. Coincidentally, during my visit, there was an Eigasai screening in Cinematheque Iloilo. What matched my schedule was If Cats Disappeared from the World which was dubbed in Tagalog. Watching the film without my eyes chasing English subtitles at the bottom of the screen felt good.

The most recent film I watched was Hottamaru Byori (Hottamaru Days), a Japanese independent film, screened under JFF+ or simply Japan Film Festival Plus - the film programming for independent films, hosted by several small theaters across Japan.

Hottamaru Days was a very refreshing film. I love the attention to detail – the shots, use of light, sound, and dance. I like how the dancing nymphs emulate the mundaneness of everyday life in their own fun and playful way. The film was intriguing and at the same time, interesting. I love the film's combination of wander, wonder, playfulness, and otherworldliness. I look forward to more works of Director Nao Yoshigai (and other female Directors) as well as more uniquely visually visceral films in future line-ups.

Watch Hottamaru Days here for free. You just need to register for an account and you can watch the currently screening six (6) independent films until March 2023. After which a new set of films will be programmed.

In-theater screenings have started and the schedule and line-up can be viewed here.

Wow ‘yung thesis film ni Ate Angel na pinagpuyatan namin sa CMC at sa DLRC, nasa Gawad Alternatibo na. Hindi ko man siya nagawang mapanood sa Cine Adarna noong defense nila, mapapanood ko naman ang pelikulang ito dito. Do watch it on Vimeo if you have time.

The fabulous Susan Roces delivered a lively talk about fans and fan cultures in the Philippines during the 1950s and 1960s on 1 September 2009 at the Ishmael Bernal Gallery, UP Film Center. Her talk was the highlight of a ceremony that celebrated the life of the late UP College of Mass Communication faculty member Johven Velasco and the launch of Hulyawan/Huntahan, Johven's book. After her talk, Manang Inday (Ms. Roces) asked me if I liked her films. I said I watched most of her movies. But my favorites are Maruja, Gumising Ka Maruja, and especially Dance-O-Rama. She wondered why Dance-O-Rama was very popular. I told her that she essayed a role that represented the convictions of a 1960s underdog. She was happily surprised. Afterward, she talked about film preservation and her experiences conserving old films stored primarily inside the vaults of the FPJ Studios along Del Monte Avenue, Quezon City. Most of my conversations with Manang Inday (Miss Roces) surrounded films and the visual arts. Sadly, I only got to talk to her three times. When I first met her during the early 1990s, she was introduced to me by her good friend Lena Strait Pareja, who taught at the UP English Department and the UP Film Department for several years. On the birthday of Mrs. Dolores Vera Perez (Sampaguita Pictures matriarch), Manang Inday confessed that if she were not an actress, she would have taken Fine Arts in college. She kept many drawings in a folder when she was in grade and high school. I bumped into her for the last time during the birthday of former UP Regent Bibeth Orteza 8 years ago. I was surprised that she still remembered me. Maraming Salamat Po, Manang Inday. We recognize your valuable contributions in front of and behind the camera. Hindi po namin kayo malilimutan 🙏 (at UPFI Cine Adarna) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd_LCmjJka7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
