Peping soon falls into an intense voyage into darkness as he experiences the kidnapping and torture of a beautiful prostitute. Horrified and helpless during the nightmarish all-night operation directed by a psychotic killer, Peping is forced to search within if he is a killer himself... CAST and HUBAD NA PANGARAP (1988).

  • 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.

  • Um Filme De Brillante Mendoza Sinopses Sinopse Curta
    UM FILME DE BRILLANTE MENDOZA SINOPSES SINOPSE CURTA Peping vai casar-se com a mãe do seu filho recém-nascido. Pobre e sem posses, aceita uma oferta de trabalho bem pago que um amigo lhe faz. Mas ao constatar que o trabalho implica matar uma jovem mulher Peping mergulha numa viagem às trevas. SINOPSE Peping vai hoje casar-se com a jovem mãe do seu filho recém- -nascido. Para um estudante pobre da academia de polícia não se coloca a questão de recusar uma oportunidade de fazer dinheiro. Já acos- tumado a receber dinheiro sujo de um pequeno cartel de droga, Peping aceita, ingenuamente, uma oferta de trabalho bem pago que um amigo corrupto lhe faz. Rapidamente, Peping mergulha numa intensa viagem às trevas enquanto testemunha o rapto e a tortura de uma lindíssima pros- tituta. Horrorizado e impotente perante esta aterradora operação nocturna dirigida por um assassino psicótico, Peping vê-se forçado a perceber se ele próprio será um assassino... 2 COMENTÁRIOS DE BRILLANTE MENDOZA KINATAY Kinatay significa “esquartejar” em filipino. A história foi baseada em acontecimentos reais. Enquanto fazia pesquisa para o meu filme SLINGSHOT, entrevistei pequenos criminosos e deparei-me com a confissão de um estudante de criminologia que passou por uma situação semelhante à da personagem de Peping em KINATAY. Fas- cinou-me ouvir em primeira mão a experiência deste jovem. Pensei que daria um tema interessante para um filme. Atraía-me a ideia de confrontar a morte no momento e no lugar mais inesperados. É acerca de percebermos a total arbitrariedade da morte. TERROR Não diria que KINATAY é um filme de terror, embora tenha alguns elementos em comum com o género.

  • New Media and the Karay-A Ethnic Group of the Philippines
    The Dialogical Processes of Vernacular Mediation: New Media and the Karay-a Ethnic Group of the Philippines A thesis submitted to the University of Adelaide in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media MARIANE S.A. MEDINA UMALI B.Sc., Development Communication, University of the Philippines Los Baños Discipline of Media School of Humanities and Social Sciences June 2013 Abstract This thesis examines the extent to which vernacular mediation, or the ongoing, sociohistorically situated, and discursive communicative acts through new media technologies, enables the cultural participation and emancipation of marginal groups. It investigates how the ethnolinguistic group Karay-a appropriated the Internet and digital music and video production technologies to reinvent their stereotyped identities, develop collectivity, and work towards the goal of bringing socioeconomic emancipation to their homeland of Antique in Western Philippines. By following a cultural studies approach to examine three cases of vernacular mediation, this thesis aims to explore how the dialogical interaction of new media technologies, audience or individual agency, institutional logics, and asymmetries in power enable and shape a specific emancipatory aim without foreclosing their future potentials. Through an analysis of the musical subgenre Original Kinaray-a Music (OKM), the online community Kinaray-a.com, and the digital short film Handum produced by the marginal group, this thesis argues that vernacular mediation practices have the potential to facilitate cultural participation by enabling expressions and meanings to be reshaped and shared. The sharing of meanings adds to the social and cultural capitals of marginal individuals and enables them to forge social ties.

  • Multi-Awarded Filmmaker Mendoza Recognised During Europe Day Reception; to Co-Launch the Mobile Application Phor EU
    EUROPEAN UNION Delegation of the European Union to the Philippines 5 May 2016 Multi-awarded Filmmaker Mendoza recognised during Europe Day Reception; to co-launch the mobile application PHor EU Multi-awarded filmmaker Brillante Ma Mendoza will be recognised by the European Union Delegation to the Philippines at the Europe Day Reception on 5 May. Mendoza is a living treasure of Philippine independent cinema and is one of the most prominent and important Filipino filmmakers today. He is the first Filipino to have won in three major international film festivals showing authentic Filipino stories to the world. EU Ambassador Franz Jessen said that Mendoza is one of the great Filipino filmmakers who has honed his craft and has helped strengthen the cultural co-operation between the EU and the Philippines. "Filmmakers such as Brillante Ma Mendoza is a source of inspiration not only to Filipinos but also to Europeans for his craftsmanship, dynamism and innovation", Ambassador Jessen said. Mendoza was invited by Ambassador Jessen to co-launch the mobile application which is aimed at bringing EU closer to the hearts of the Filipino people. Mendoza is the perfect ambassador of goodwill between the EU and the Philippines mainly because of his significant role in bridging the cultural divide between and among the peoples of Europe and the Philippines. His recent film “Ma’ Rosa” is one of the more difficult movies that he has done so far because of the sensitivity of the topic – the corrupt police system. The movie will be shown in Cannes Film Festival this May 2016. "Ma' Rosa" is Brillante's 4th film to be shown at Cannes, the first one being Serbis in 2008, which was nominated for the coveted Palme d'Or (Golden Palm).
