He is the first Filipino filmmaker to win the Best Director category at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards (Asia’s equivalent to the Oscars) for his film Thy Womb. "Director Brillante Mendoza received La Navicella/Venezia Cinema prize—The award is given by critics and the Rivisita del Cinematografo to the director of a film considered particularly relevant for the affirmation of human values.” Brillante Mendoza is the first Filipino filmmaker whose films had theatrical releases in major European cities as well as distribution in Europe and North America. He is also the first Filipino and Asian auteur who has been given retrospectives of his films in major European cities, Central Europe, Scandinavian countries, Latin America, North America, and Asia including Russia. Critics hail Mendoza as a neorealist, and his films depict the lives of ordinary people in extraordinary situations, set against the universal struggle of life, love and death. Mendoza was born on July 30, 1960 to Pastor Mendoza and Gervacia Manguerra in San Fernando, Pampanga, where he spent his youth and became interested in the arts at an early age. He finished Fine Arts, major in advertising, at the 400-year-old pontifical University of Santo Tomas.

  • A Dirty Affair Political Melodramas of Democratization
    6 A Dirty Affair Political Melodramas of Democratization Ferdinand Marcos was ousted from the presidency and exiled to Hawaii in late February 1986,Confidential during a four-day Property event of Universitycalled the “peopleof California power” Press revolution. The event was not, as the name might suggest, an armed uprising. It was, instead, a peaceful assembly of thousands of civilians who sought to protect the leaders of an aborted military coup from reprisal by***** the autocratic state. Many of those who gathered also sought to pressure Marcos into stepping down for stealing the presi- dential election held in December,Not for Reproduction not to mention or Distribution other atrocities he had commit- ted in the previous two decades. Lino Brocka had every reason to be optimistic about the country’s future after the dictatorship. The filmmaker campaigned for the newly installed leader, Cora- zon “Cory” Aquino, the widow of slain opposition leader Ninoy Aquino. Despite Brocka’s reluctance to serve in government, President Aquino appointed him to the commission tasked with drafting a new constitution. Unfortunately, the expe- rience left him disillusioned with realpolitik and the new government. He later recounted that his fellow delegates “really diluted” the policies relating to agrarian reform. He also spoke bitterly of colleagues “connected with multinationals” who backed provisions inimical to what he called “economic democracy.”1 Brocka quit the commission within four months. His most significant achievement was intro- ducing the phrase “freedom of expression” into the constitution’s bill of rights and thereby extending free speech protections to the arts.

Un officier de police et un petit dealer devenu indic tentent coûte que coûte de faire tomber l’un des plus gros trafiquants de la ville, mettant en jeu leur réputation, la sécurité de leur famille… et leur vie. NOTE DU RÉALISATEUR Le scénario est le fruit d’une compilation d’histoires recueillies à partir de recherches et d’entretiens avec des personnes impliquées dans le trafic de drogue aux Philippines. Le défi consistait à harmoniser ces différentes perspectives en un point de vue cohérent. Récemment, les trafiquants aux Philippines ont eu recours à une nouvelle méthode leur permettant de déplacer la marchandise (en l’occurrence, du Shabu ou de la méthamphétamine) tout en évitant des détections et des arrestations : les pigeons. Dans ce film, le pigeon, en tant que passeur, est utilisé comme point de vue unifié de tous les personnages.

  • At Last, Filipino Cinema in Portugal July 10, 2013/ Tiago Gutierrez Marques
    At Last, Filipino Cinema in Portugal July 10, 2013/ Tiago Gutierrez Marques A scene from Brillante Mendoza's "Captive" (Source: filmfilia.com) I didn't know anything about Filipino cinema until very recently, as it’s practically unheard of in Portugal where most people don't even know where the Philippines is on the world map. But there are signs of change. In 2010 a Portuguese cultural association called “Zero em Comportamento” (Zero Behavior), which is dedicated to the dissemination of movies that fall outside the mainstream commercial cinema, organized a four-day retrospective showing in Lisbon of movies directed by acclaimed Filipino director Brillante Mendoza. This also included a masterclass on independent filmmaking in the Philippines, for cinema students and professionals (http://zeroemcomportamento.wordpress.com/arquivo/bmendoza/). This rare opportunity got me very excited, and particularly my Portuguese father, who went to see almost all of the eight movies. At the end of each showing, the audience could directly ask Brillante Mendoza their questions. And just a few months ago, one of Mendoza's latest films, “Captive,” was released in commercial theaters in Lisbon and Porto (Portugal's second city) alongside the usual Hollywood blockbusters. I couldn't believe that we had reached a new milestone for Filipino cinema in Portugal. Director Brillante Mendoza won the Palme d'Or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival for "Kinatay." (Source: Bauer Griffin) “Captive” is about the kidnapping of a group of tourists by the fearsome Abu Sayaf group from a resort in Honda Bay, in Palawan. They are taken to Mindanao.
