Maya wants to explore the land beyond the family's isolated shack. Diego wants her daughter to be self-sufficient, thus teaches her to fire a gun. After failing her first shooting lessons, Maya wanders of to the forest sanctuary with her father's rifle and accidentally kills a Philippine eagle, an endangered animal. Meanwhile, newly-recruited police officer Domingo goes to the area to investigate the mysterious disappearance of farmers en route to Manila on a bus, but was ordered to stop what he was doing. Domingo's partner Mendoza (John Arcilla) and their commander Dela Paz (Dido dela Paz) believes that Domingo should focus on finding the killer of the Philippine eagle instead. Red and his cousin began writing the script in 2014[2]. Producer Pamela L. Reyes submitted it to the Doha Film Institute which in early 2015 granted production funding for the film. After winning the CJ Entertainment Award at Busan Film Festival's Asian Project Market, other investors granted funding including TBA Studios. The film project was selected at the Festival des 3 Continents' Produire au Sud workshop to improve Birdshot and its screenplay. Birdshot's PelikulaRED studio (owner by Pamela L. Reyes and Mikhail Red) managed to co-produce the film with Tuko Film Productions and Buchi Boy Productions.[3] The total budget of the film was ₱14 million.[2] Red was inspired by a shooting incident in 2008, where a three-year-old Philippine eagle was shot by a Bukidnon farmer in Mount Kitanglad who cooked the killed bird afterwards. Principal photography lasted for 23 days.[4] Scenes were shot in the provinces of Isabella[2] and Rizal as well as the Philippine Eagle Sanctuary in Davao City.[3] The color red is a prominent element in the film which signifies an important scene or pertinent detail that the audience is required to pay closer attention to.[4] Birdshot was first screened at film festivals outside the Philippines before it was screened in the country. The film made its debut at the 2016 Tokyo International Film Festival and was screened in 14 other film festivals before it made its local debut at the 13th Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival August of the following year.[2] The film was also screened as one of the twelve official entries at the 2017 Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino. Film critic Richard Kuipers praised Birdshot in a review published in Variety describing the film as a "gripping combination of police procedural and coming-of-age drama". He paralleled the film's commentary to the 2009 Maguindanao massacre and remarked on Apostol's performance in particular as "impressive". Additional praise was also given by Kuiper to Teresa Barrozo's "haunting soundscapes".[1] The film won Best Picture in the Asian Future category at the 2016 Tokyo International Film Festival and was selected for the Ingmar Bergman International Debut Award at the Goteborg Film Festival.[5] Birdshot is a 2016 Philippine thriller film directed by Mikhail Red, Produced by Pamela L. Reyes, and was co-produced by PelikulaRED, Tuko Film Productions, and Buchi Boy Productions. Music composed by: Teresa Barrozo Producer: Pamela L. Reyes Cinematography: Mycko David Cast: John Arcilla, Arnold Reyes, Mary Joy Apostol, Manuel Aquino Screenplay: Mikhail Red, Rae Rae AREA, Directed by Louie Ignacio 1 hr 50 min • Drama, 2016, Philippines TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSyxMe4M2EY Stars: Ai-Ai de las Alas, Allen Dizon, Sue Prado A story of prostitution set in a regular community in Angeles City. A short distance from the city’s red-light district is Area, a neighborhood of brothels where over-the-hill sex workers can be had for a can of sardines or even on credit. During its heyday, Area had up to 700 brothels servicing thousands of low-income men, hormonally active boys and society misfits--all taking advantage of the bargain price of sex available only at Area. One of the last remaining brothels is operated by Ben, whose family of former pimps and subversives depends on the brothel for survival. Hillary, one of the sex workers, keeps her life-savings to fulfill a dream to travel to the United States to find a son she said she lost during the panic caused by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. Her skeptical co-workers bully her by dumping on her all the clients they reject, including a freak and a penniless old man who pays with stolen appliances. Hillary’s world collapses when her money is stolen and Ben refuses to file charges, because the suspect is a village watchman whom Ben cannot afford to displease. The story happens during the Holy Week, when the residents of Area perform rituals of penitence to wash away their sins and be ready for another year of business as usual.

    NOVEMBRO 2019 SINE, CINEMA DAS FILIPINAS | IN MEMORIAM ALBERT FINNEY | 7 LIVROS / 7 FILMES CENTENÁRIO SHIRLEY CLARKE | ANTE-ESTREIAS | LUX FILM DAYS | IMAGEM POR IMAGEM (CINEMA DE ANIMAÇÃO) | COM A LINHA DE SOMBRA | CINEMATECA JÚNIOR [2] novembro 2019 CINEMATECA JÚNIOR ovembro na Júnior será o mês de três mulheres e um gato, mais precisamente três raparigas voluntariosas, criativas e sonhadoras, como a Alice, a Wadjda e a Zazie, e um gato icónico da história do cinema. Será que adivinham de que gato estamos a falar? Abrimos o mês à conversa com o realizador Joaquim Sapinho sobre o filme ALICE IN WONDERLAND, que estreou em Portugal com o título ALICE NO PAÍS DAS FADAS, porque terá sido esta Alice, “filha” N de Lewis Carroll e dos estúdios da Disney, a alimentar a fantasia desvairada de muitas infâncias desde os anos cinquenta, incluindo a do próprio realizador. Voltamos à Alice no último sábado de novembro, desta vez a ALICE NO PAÍS DAS MARAVILHAS de carne e osso de Tim Burton. No dia 9 vamos ver O SONHO DE WADJDA, a primeira longa-metragem da primeira realizadora saudita, Haifaa al-Mansour. Wadjda tem um sonho muito simples – ter uma bicicleta e andar nela –, mas na Arábia Saudita esse sonho simples não é para mulheres..., mas talvez seja para Wadjda. Já Zazie, a miúda explosiva do filme de Louis Malle, ZAZIE NO METRO, instala o caos à sua volta só para andar de metro, fazendo jus ao seu criador, o poeta do absurdo Raymond Queneau. Apresentadas as três mulheres, vamos ao gato. Trata-se do maravilhoso, fantástico e inolvidável Gato Félix, que nos visita na sua encarnação mais primitiva, mudo e a preto e branco, ao som do piano de Charlie Mancini.

    PRESENTED BY: Frances Ramona Pantig Joyce Cristene Marquez Fatima Munoz Bianca Monique Bargas Fundamentals of Music 1 Fundamentals of Music 2 Filipinos are said to be Musical Peoples. In most cases, singing is accompanied by dancing. They used Bamboo canes, Palm leaves and bark of trees to write their songs and a piece of sharp stick or iron for their pen. Even their instruments were made of Bamboo and wood which indicated their primitiveness. Fundamentals of Music 3 Functions of their music: Religious Social life Characteristics of their Music: Recitative Mostly simple two note music Example of these are: | Dal-lot – a song sung by farmers during wedding, baptismal and others parties accompanied by Kutibeng (guitar). | Pamulinawen – is a love song | Dung-aw – is a song requesting a dead person to be good in his next life. Fundamentals of Music 4 Early Filipinos music was influenced by trade relations other races like: |Malays |Indonesians |Arabs |Chinese |Indo-Chinese |Japanese and |Hindus Fundamentals of Music 5 Chinese, Japanese and Hindus introduce their five-tone scale called pentatonic.
