THE SHORT FILMS:

SHIT HAPPENS
(2005, 15 mins.)
By Nich Retz Perez
A comic philosophical take on the meaning of life and the metaphorical pieces of shit of existence. Features a broken-hearted imaginative student and an enigmatic Philosophy professor (Peque Gallaga).
PUSONG LIGAW, PUSONG HILAW
(2005, 7 mins.)
By Rene Durian
A visual elegy to wayward loves and mistaken romances at a turning point in the beloved's life, set to classical music by Puccini.
DICKY
(2005, 14 mins.)
By Neil Colangco and Lorena Martinez
A zany tale played in broad comic strokes about a young man's psychological and physical dilemma, as gender confusion rears its perplexed head and rampaging hormones take no prisoners.
BUOG / LAZY SLEEP
(2004, 34 mins.)
By Rommel 'Milo' Tolentino
A beguiling, moody escapade of a boy and his new friend, cavorting under the sun by the seashore and by a lighthouse that holds its own secrets. A subtle film on one of today's social concerns.
HUNAS / LOW TIDE
(2005, 14 mins.)
By Emilio Montelibano Jr.
An adventure film about four youths waiting by the seaside, presented in a maverick style that suits the story's masculine sensibilities and touching on another timely subject matter.
SALOME
(2005, 14 mins.)
By Remuel Gellegani
A heartwarming documentary on a single mother's daily struggles to support her family, told from her point of view and by persons around her. A fine example of grassroots filmmaking, produced by homegrown talents in the municipality of Guimbal, Iloilo.
THE FEATURE FILM:
TAKAW TUKSO
(1986, 150 mins.)
Screenplay by Armando Lao
Directed by William Pascual
A psychosexual chamber piece that takes a piercing look into human behavior, this remarkable gem of a film is distinguished by its sharply-written script, subtle direction, superb characterization and richly-textured production design. Jaclyn Jose, Anna Marie Gutierrez, Julio Diaz and Gino Antonio star as four friends caught in the complexity of their own libido and relationships.
With some scenes missing during its last public screening in Pelikula at Lipunan 1998, the film will be presented in its integral version, courtesy of Director William Pascual, who will be in attendance.
Winner of six major Urian Awards in 1986: Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, Actress (Jaclyn Jose), Supporting Actress (Anita Linda), Production Design.
THE SPIRITUALITY FORUM:
The SPIRITUALITY IN SCRIPTWRITING (Scriptwriting as a Form of Storytelling) is the second of the Media and Scriptwriting forum series. Featured guest sharers are screenwriters Armando Lao ("Takaw Tukso," "Itanong Mo sa Buwan," "Sana Pag-ibig Na," "Pila Balde," "Tuhog", "La Vida Rosa") and Chris Martinez ("Bridal Shower," "Bikini Open").
Acknowledgments: Ultravision Films, Mowelfund Film Institute and Negros Summer Workshops.
