AMOK by Law Fajardo (Mature Content)
The bustling and sweltering
rugged intersection of Pasay Rotonda serves as the main setting for this
story of interconnected fate and destiny. As a raging man’s bullets
strays into different directions, the fate of several different
characters are sealed and determined. As the temperature rises, the
tension escalates and the story unravels with unforgiving immediacy and
explodes in the end as each one struggles to survive and escape their
inevitable end. CAST: Mark Gil, Nonie Buencamino, Garry Lim, Efren Reyes

ANG BABAE SA SEPTIC TANK by Marlon Rivera
Ang Babae sa Septic Tank
chronicles a day in the life of three ambitious, passionate but
misguided filmmakers as they set out to do a quick pre-prod at
Starbucks, a courtesy call to their lead actress, Eugene Domingo, and an
ocular inspection of their film’s major location, the Payatas dumpsite.
Director Rainier, Producer Bingbong and Production Assistant Jocelyn
are well-to-do, well-educated film school graduates who are dead set on
making an Oscar worthy film. They believe they have a winning script,
the energy and the drive to make their dreams come true. Like most
filmmakers they know, they have devised a screenplay that will show the
real essence of our culture: poverty. In the course of one day, they
brainstorm and exhaust all possible treatment of their project: the
story of Mila (Eugene Domingo), a mother from the slums, who out of
desperation to survive, has sold her child to a pedophile. As they
discuss the possible executions of the story, the movie-within-a-movie
gets reborn in Jocelyn’s imagination several times. As a gritty no
frills neo-realist film, as a glossy musical, as an over-the-top
melodrama and as a docu drama using non-actors. For their last task of
the day, they visit the dumpsite for the first time. As filmmakers
gunning for authenticity, they get excited with the ”beauty” of the
squalor around them. Soon enough, they are faced with reality as they
come face to face with the real effects of their chosen subject. Babae
sa Septic Tank is a comedy about misguided ambitions, the art of making
art and the romanticization of poverty. CAST: Eugene Domingo, JM De
Guzman, Kean Cipriano, Cai Cortez, and special participation of Mercedes

ANG SAYAW NG DALAWANG KALIWANG PAA by Alvin Yapan
Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang
Paa explores the intersection and divergence between feminist and gay
concerns in the third world context, as it features the poetry of
Merlinda Bobis, Ruth Elynia Mabanglo, Joi Barrios, Rebecca Anonuevo,
Benilda Santos and Ophelia Dimalanta. When Marlon, a college student,
stalks Karen, his literature professor, he finds out that she moonlights
as a choreographer and dance teacher in a dance studio. Frustrated over
his performance in her literature class, he plans to impress her
instead by learning to poeticize his body movements and enroll in her
dance class. He hires his classmate to teach him the basics of dancing.
As Dennis, his tutor, teaches him how his body should move, Marlon
begins to understand the intersections between the art of poetry and
dance. This opens up his world to new insights about the life of Karen
as a single woman who chose to live the life of an artist in a third
world setting. Marlon begins to understand how the poems being discussed
by Karen in class are testaments to her choice to stand by her art.

CUCHERA by Joseph Laban (Mature Content)
Based on a true story, Cuchera
is about Filipino drug mules, drug couriers and their recruiters. It
follows the story of Isabel, a veteran drug mule, in her first attempt
at running her own drug transshipment operation between Manila and
China. Isabel’s character is based on the story of an actual Filipina
drug mule who was caught with eight capsules of heroin lodged in her sex
organ, 48 in the rectum and 11 in her abdomen after an x-ray was
conducted by Chinese authorities. Cuchera presents an accurate depiction
of how some Filipinos end up becoming entrenched in the world of
illegal drugs. Currently, the Philippines leads all Southeast Asian
countries in the number of nationals arrested for drug smuggling charges
in China. As of 2009, there are currently 95 Filipinos languishing in
various jails in Chinese territories---four of whom are on death row.
Violators include minors who enter China with fake passports. CAST:

I-LIBINGS by Rommel Sales
A coming of age story about
Isabel’s lessons and realizations on life and death as a funeral
videography intern. Due to her family situation, Isabel is cynical and
skeptical of everything that comes her way. When she enters the
I-libings for her required college internship, she sees it as the worst
internship her college adviser could suggest to her. Later as she
accumulates her required hours, she realizes that the company is not
just a place where videographers make money out of other people’s
misfortunes but is a place where the dead and the grieving receive
special attention. It all comes full circle when Isabel is faced with an
unusual family tragedy. Isabel realizes that her internship might have
been just 200 hours, but the lessons that the I-libings left her would
last a lifetime. CAST: Glaiza de Castro as Isabel Fabros, Rez Cortez as

NIÑO by Loy Arcenas
The once illustrious
Lopez-Aranda family has faded. Celia, once the darling of Philippine
opera, and Gaspar, a distinguished ex-congressman, lacked the shrewdness
to maintain their once elegant status. Saddled with a failed marriage, a
vanishing career and mounting debt, Celia sold her share of their house
to Gaspar, now bedridden. She managed to stay for free in exchange for
being Gaspar’s caregiver. Gaspar loves listening to Celia’s arias. This
idyllic arrangement is shattered when he slips into a coma. His
daughter, Raquel, comes home from the US, determined to sell the house
to salvage her own economic woes abroad. This signals Celia’s impending
homelessness. With only a few heirlooms to sell, she is at her wits’
end. A fervent believer of the Sto. Nino, she hopes for a miracle. She
dresses up her grandson, Antony, in Sto. Nino robes to prepare him for
the coming fiesta. She insists this will invoke a miracle that will
awaken Gaspar and stop Raquel from selling the house. Antony’s father,
Mombic, while processing his travel papers to work in Dubai, tries to
strike a deal with Raquel in selling the property without his mother
Celia’s knowledge. Merced, Mombic’s sister, reluctantly takes on the
burden of taking care of Celia and a household sliding to ruin. The
family members clash in a confrontation that reveals their weaknesses
and their hopeless ideals. Mombic leaves his son to the care of his
mother and sister, Merced, the only family member who quietly accepts
her fate. As a final ditch to awaken Gaspar, Celia holds a tertulia,
inviting her aging opera singer friends. They sing arias, oblivious to
the ravages of time, crippled reminders of a glorious past. In the
middle of a chorus, Gaspar quietly dies, sealing the fate of his sister
and the mansion that once was called Villa Los Reyes Magos. Celia looks
out into her once beautiful garden. She sees Antony, still in his Sto.
Nino robe, playing in the garden, offering a little illusion of hope to a
past that can never be rekindled. CAST: Fides Cuyugan Asensio, Shamaine

PATIKUL by Joel Lamangan
The long-standing conflict
between the military forces and the rebel group Abu Sayaff has severely
ravaged the poor town of Patikul in Sulu. Residents have become so
accustomed to the armed clashes, that reports of kidnappings and
recruitment of young Tausugs to join the rebel groups already became
normal news to them. However, Amman, a 33 year old coffee farmer in
Sitio Kan-Ague, continues to believe that there is still hope for their
town. Amman believes that educating his children would change their
present situation. His 9-year old son Fahad is one of Kan-Ague
Elementary School’s top students. Fahad’s brilliance and perseverance
have led him to represent his school in the annual regional quiz bee.
Joined by his best friend Alelie, Fahad goes through rigorous training
under Michael Balmes, the principal of Kan-Ague Elementary School.
Michael is one of the few volunteer teachers who walk daily through a
dangerous path just to get to Kan-Ague. Michael’s constant encouragement
and persistence to educate the kids in Kan-Ague gives new promise to
the residents of Kan-Ague. However, this hope becomes short-lived after a
relative of one of the volunteer teachers dies in an armed encounter
between the army and rebels. Little did the residents know that this
incident would lead to the death of their beloved principal and, for
fear for their own safety, force the teachers to abandon the students of
Kan-Ague. The town’s worsening situation compels Amman to take action
and convince his co-parents to find a solution, but Amman soon discovers
that this won’t be an easy task. Most of the parents are reluctant to
cooperate, and he finds no support from the local government. Amman is
now faced with two choices: capitulate to the brutality of war or find a
way to make the teachers go back to the classrooms of Kan-Ague to teach
their children once again. CAST: Marvin Agustin, Allen Dizon, Glaiza de

UN DIUTAY MUNDO: An unknown
“point of view” witnesses everything that happens in the place where it
is located---a dark room occupied by a feral child. It narrates how this
child is being treated by the ones who look after him, how curious he
is of the world outside, and how he longs to break free from being
trapped in that room. Meanwhile, a girl who dreams to be a writer is
able to enter the room and get in touch with the feral child. This is
the start of the child’s struggle of breaking free from isolation. This
was all witnessed and narrated by the “point of view”. But before a bond
between the girl and the child tightens, the ones who have been keeping
the child from the outside world discovered what has been going on. The
“point of view” then unfolds the child’s helplessness because he is
still trapped not only in that room but also in his condition. It also
tells how the girl fails to fulfill her dream of becoming a writer
because she is now trapped in her situation. Lastly, the “point of view”
tells how it desires to help the child break free but is unable to do
so. The reason lies in the revelation of what the “point of view” is.
SAMARITO: Midnight. An adept thief makes his silent way towards a rich
couple’s walled compound. He has everything considered: the location of
the street-light base to help him vault the perimeter, the vulnerable
back gate, the number of steps to the couple’s bedroom. The only thing
he didn’t count on is the couple returning early from an aborted night
out. The thief steps out of the bedroom to the distinct sound of strife.
The couple is in the midst of a heated argument, and the argument only
gets hotter from here. The thief watches as the confrontation escalates
until the man explodes in rage and floors the woman with a solid punch
across the face. The thief is in shock. The man screams at his downed
lover and continues to physically pummel her. The thief sneaks back out
of the home, but he is not unaffected by what he’s seen. He beats a
hasty retreat, but stops in his tracks. He looks back over his shoulder.
He takes a deep breath. Does the thief have it in himself to do the
right thing? Is his conscience and humanity beyond salvation? Everything
will unfold on this unquiet night and nothing will ever be the same
again for our thief; the most unlikely of Samaritans. WALANG KATAPUSANG
KWARTO: Ang kwentong ito ay mayroon katapusang…hindi lang halata.
Magaganap
ang kwento sa isang silid kung saan dito lamang hindi nagtatago ang
ating mga karakter. Dahil dito sa silid na ito ay Malaya sila, walang
nakakarinig kundi ang apat na pader lamang na naghihiwalay sa kanila sa
totoong mundo.Maaring sabihin na ito ay kwento ng pag-ibig. Maari
ding hindi... EVERY OTHER TIME: College and partying are almost
synonymous to one another, so are making mistakes. The freedom we have
during college can sometimes make us forget the tiniest of our
responsibilities. After a night of hard partying, this guy realizes he
left something behind. NINO BONITO: Boni, a little boy from the slums,
squares off with the stark reality of drugs, petty crime and abuse armed
with his own brand of hip hop and some divine intervention.
