For the last 10 years, the organizers of the International Silent Film Festival have been taking cinephiles back to the time when movies did not have recorded sound and synchronized dialogue but had live music that made the moving pictures come alive. This way, the organizers—composed of the cultural oces or embassies of participating countries Germany, Spain, France, Austria, U.S.A., Japan, the Philippines, and for the rst time this year, U.K.—are able to honor the silent lm era, which basically ran from the invention of lm in the mid- 1890s to the introduction of sound in the late 1920s. It is also a way to showcase each country’s cinematic wealth and another avenue to challenge the artistry of Filipino and some foreign musicians. There was the nearly forgotten 1934 Filipino lm Brides of Zulu with live musical scoring by a group of Tausug artists called Panday Pandikal Cultural Troupe. Then there was the celebrated German lm Metropolis, directed by Fritz Lang, accompanied by the Filipino live dance music group Rubber Inc. And the list goes on. “We try to aim higher,” said Shadin Kitma, program coordinator of the German cultural institute Goethe-Institut Philippines, in an interview with PEP.ph at the lm fest’s press launch held last August 16 at the Shangri- La Plaza Mall in Mandaluyong City. (Shangri-la Plaza has been the lm fest’s faithful partner for 10 years, providing one of its cinema houses as venue for all the screenings scheduled to take place from August 25 to 28, 2016.) The musical headliners this year include iconic Pinoy rock gure Ely Buendia, frontman of the 1990s megaband Eraserheads and currently of the bands Pupil, The Oktaves and Apartel.

Basti brings his unique musicality to the Austrian lm Der GOT IT! Balletterzherzog, which is about a love triangle among an archduke, a count, and a ballerina. http://www.pep.ph/guide/movies/24401/ely-buendia-basti-artadi-up-dharma-down-join-2016-silent-film-festival 2/7 5.1.2018 Ely Buendia, Basti Artadi, Up Dharma Down join 2016 Silent Film Festival | PEP.ph Representing this generation is Up Dharma Down, the band internationally cited for its “genre-defying” music and fronted by one-of- a-kind performer Armi Millare. Up Dharma Down gives its own brand of musical scoring to the German lm Der letzte Mann, a drama considered as an important work by F.W. Murnau. The Philippine entry, Maicling Maicling Pelicula nang Ysang Indio Nacional, directed by Raya Martin, will have musical accompaniment by the indie rock band Oh! Flamingo.

Walang away sa The U.K. lm, Play On! Silent Shakespeare, will have that jazzy feel courtesy of the Tago Jazz Collective. Spain is represented by the zarzuela La Revoltosa, which will be set to music by the DingDong Fiel Music Ensemble and tenor Miguel Angel Lobato. Japan elds in a tragic love story of forbidden love titled Muteki, and it will be scored by the Makiling Band. From the U.S., there is the rom-com-action ick For Heaven’s Sake plus the musical scoring by the 10-piece band Brass Pas Pas Pas Pas. Finally, France has two lms: Le Pied de Mouton and Le Petit Soucet. Both lms have been assigned to Filipino musical director, arranger, composer, and conductor Felipe Latonio Jr. The choice of lms and musicians, as explained to PEP.ph by Goethe- Institut Philippines’ program coordinator Shadin Kitma, solely lies on the cultural ocers of the participating countries. In Germany’s case, Kitma said they chose Der letzte Mann because “it’s a revolutionary lm by F.W. Murnau” that “deviates from the standard lm na static lang ’yong scenes.” He added: “This one, free movement ’yong camera, so the lmmaker really goes in and goes out, or follows the protagonist—which, at that time, was very new. We like it very much.” Kitma explained that they opted for Up Dharma Down because the band’s music is suited to the movie. Also: “Because they’re good. They’re popular. We know that there’s a demand. Gusto ng mga tao na papuntahin sila sa Silent Film Festival, but never nangyayari. And now, we’re able to do it.” As a rule, he pointed out that Goethe-Institut Philippines gives a “free hand” to their chosen band or musicians in the creating musical scoring, and Up Dharma Down is no exception.
