Paas-Lang The Canadian Press Published Tuesday, October 22, 2019 4:54AM EDT The Liberals once more won the most seats in the House of Commons, but this time they do not have an outright majority. So what happens next? With fewer than the 170 seats needed to command the House on their own, Justin Trudeau will need the support of at least one other party to pass legislation in Parliament -- and survive a confidence vote on a speech from the throne laying out his plans for governing.Before then, Trudeau will have to deal with some of the implications of Monday's results.

  • On Lav Diaz‟S a Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery
    ―Textual Mobilities: Diaspora, Migration, Transnationalism and Multiculturalism‖ | Lullaby of Diasporic Time: On Lav Diaz‟s A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery Christian Jil R. Benitez Ateneo de Manila University Philippines [email protected] Abstract Lav Diaz is a Filipino independent filmmaker notable as a key figure in the contemporary slow cinema movement. Of his oeuvre, one of the longest is A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery (Filipino: Hele sa Higawang Hapis), a 2016 epic film that runs for 8 hours, orchestrating narratives derived from what are conveniently sung as mythology (i.e., Jose Rizal‘s El filibusterismo and Philippine folklore) and history (i.e., Philippine history and artifacts). The movie competed in the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Alfred Bauer Prize. This success has earned Diaz‘s the spotlight in the Filipino mainstream culture, enabling the film to be distributed to and showcased in mainstream platforms, albeit primarily garnering attention from the Filipino audience for its runtime and international attention. The movement of the film, as a text, from the local Philippines toward the international and returning home, incurs in it a textuality that disrupts the phenomenology of time diasporically, scatteringly: that as much as its 8-hour languor ―opens new perspective in the cinematic arts‖ according to the international rendition of this time, it is also the 8-hour whose value in the Philippine time is that of a day‘s labor, and thus the exoticization of its cinematic experience as a ―challenge,‖ having to endure an entire working day of slow cinematography. This diaspora of time is of no cacophony; on the contrary, it is the lullaby, sorrowful and mysterious, that finally slows Diaz in to become a filmmaker attuned to both the spaces of the local and the international.

    For Oversea Distribution ABN-CBN Entertainment Launches Manila Thriller with Hasselhoff, Steiger ABS-CBN Entertainment, the international motion picture production arm of the Philippines leading entertainment provider, ABS-CBN, will premier it's first movie, Legacy, with David Hasselhoff and Rod Steiger, in Manila on July 19. It will roll out to 60 major theatres in 31 key cities in the Philippines from July 23, with international distribution later in the year. Directed by TJ Scott, written by Kevin Lund based on an original script by James Grady, Legacy is an action-adventure story about a disillusioned war photographer, Jack Scott (David Hasselhoff), who becomes involved with a beautiful Amerasian, Lana Cameron (Donita Rose Calvert), returning to the Philippines to find her long-lost father. The search becomes a dangerous cat and mouse game when a sinister mercenary, Martin Sadler (Oscar-winner Rod Steiger), and his two henchmen, Edge (Doug O’Keefe) and Black (Corin Nemec), get on their trail with the help of a corrupt, ambitious police inspector, Santiago (Junix Inocian). Donita Rose Calvert, in her first foreign language movie, is a well-known screen actress in the Philippines and a host for MTV Asia in Singapore. Chin-Chin Guttierrez is regarded as one of the mostbeautiful actresses in Philippine cinema. Junix Inocian is best know as The Engineer in the London production of Ms Saigon. The film also features David Hasselhoff's recording of 'Only Words Can Say', performed with Filipino songstress Regine Velasquez. Legacy, produced in association with LA-based Quantum Entertainment, was shot entirely on location in the Philippines and features the first Dolby Digital sound mix by a local post production house, Road Runner Network.
