#Cannes jury president Park Chan-wook says "I don’t think politics and art should be divided."

" I think it’s a strange concept to think that they’re in conflict with each other. Just because a work of art has a political statement, it should not be considered an enemy of art. At the same time, just because a film is not making a political statement, that film should not be ignored. Even if we are to make a brilliant political statement, if it’s not expressed artfully enough, it would just be propaganda. So what I want to say is that art and politics are not concepts that are in conflict with each other, as long as they are artistically expressed, they are valuable."

The ending montage of Bugonia stays in my mind, so quietly dreadful of humanity erased through calm. The world doesn’t grieve the loss of its human inhabitants but simply continues. A reminder that we were never the center, only a chapter. It’s haunting & poetic.

As a filmmaker, what you choose not to put in the final cut is often as crucial as what stays in. These photos are from a scene in "Call Me Mother"that we spent weeks planning and an entire day shooting. It was a massive parkour sequence: Twinkle, in a desperate dash to get her child to the hospital, runs out of the shower in nothing but a towel. Trapped in a narrow alley packed with cars caught in traffic, she realizes that her only way forward is to bypass the pavement entirely, launching into incredible parkour stunts and mid-air flips over the traffic below.

It was a logistical beast. While we were filming inside the house, parkour rehearsals were happening simultaneously outside to ensure the choreography aligned with our storyboards, plan the camera angles, and prioritize the safety of Meme. We had a huge setup: VFX teams, stunt directors, additional safety officers, and a high-end 3-camera rig. Through it all, Meme was a total trooper, wearing a harness and running on car roofs even as the rain began to pour.

It was visually spectacular. Everyone was excited to see Twinkle doing "impossible" parkour while perfectly balancing a towel on her head. But in the end I cut it. It wasn't easy. I wanted to honor the hard work of my cast and crew and the investment of my producers, but while the scene worked on paper and was technically impressive, it felt tonally out of place once edited into the sequence. The absurdity was just too high, it risked derailing the grounded comedy we needed to make the eventual shift into heavy drama feel seamless.

From cutting Mara’s "Squid Game" style pageant training to removing the PBB cast’s samurai confrontation, my editor Ben Tolentino and I were relentless. Ultimately, filmmaking isn't about flexing the spectacle or showing off your technical range as a director. It’s about honoring the story above all else, even if that means leaving your most ambitious work on the cutting room floor.

For decades, the MMFF was the "people's festival." It was the one time of year when ordinary workers took their children to the mall to see their idols. But today, a family of four would need at least ₱1,500 just to enter the theater, not including transportation or even a single bag of popcorn.
By pricing the ordinary Filipino out of the theater, the industry hasn't just lost customers, it has lost its soul. Cinema has shifted from a shared national culture to a middle-class privilege.
You cannot promote a "National" Film Festival while maintaining prices that exclude the nation. Until we admit that cinema has become a luxury that the "₱500 Noche Buena" family cannot afford, we are simply watching the slow, expensive sunset of Philippine cinema.

this weekend honestly feels like a closure.

that feeling when you know a film is about to end.

for what? not entirely sure.

Yuck talaga mga filmmakers from outside claiming other people’s struggles as their win. White savior ampota. Pero ang totoo, ginamit sila para makakuha ng foreign funding para sa pelikula nila tas iniwan ang community.
