PETER
SOLIS NERY’s ILONGGO FILM SET FOR SCREENING IN ILOILO AND SINGAPORE
“Gugma sa Panahon sang Bakunawa (Love in the Time of the Bakunawa),” the full-length feature film debut of Ilonggo literary icon Peter Solis Nery will have its gala premiere screening at SM Cinema 3, SM City Iloilo on Wednesday, September 5 with two schedules 4p.m.-6p.m. and 6p.m.-8p.m. with tickets available for Php100 at the venue.
The
movie is scheduled for international screening at La Salle College of the Arts
in Singapore on Sunday, September 9 at 3 p.m. as part of Singapore Portraits. A
day before the Iloilo screening of the movie, Tuesday, September 4 at 2 p.m.,
Nery will have a book launch at Al Dente Restaurant at Sarabia Manor Hotel and
Convention Center. The multi-awarded Ilonggo writer who will be honored with a
First Place and a Second Place wins (Children’s Poetry Category) at 2012 Don
Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards on September 1 at Manila Peninsula Hotel is
optimistic to launch his books-- the novel version of the movie and his Imelda
Marcos-inspired book “If the Shoe Fits.”
While steep with Filipino values and commentaries on issues like poverty, tourism, social and ecological responsibilities, the movie is really a classic love story that entertains more than moralizes. Under the deft hands of Nery, the movie, which stars Pinoy Dream Academy alumnus Eman Abatayo, upcoming actress Priscilla Fontana, and sexy actor-model Jet Alcantara, has raised the bar for Hiligaynon films, and regional filmmaking in the Philippines. Other featured Ilonggo talents in the film are Sol Fernadez School of Dance, Low Nook Dance Company and a cameo by Ilongga artist Sheila Barrios. Co-produced by the Film Development Council of the Philippines, the film was a finalist at the 1st Sineng Pambansa National Film Competition in Davao City last July. The movie is also recommended for the Thessaloniki Film Festival in Greece this November and will be screened at the 6th Karay-a Arts Festival on October 19 at San Jose, Antique.
