Genuinely hoping na sumugal ang mga distributors to give them nationwide releases.
It’s time we slap these unique stories in the faces of people saying na paulet-ulet na tweetums at landian ang Philippine Cinema. 🫣✨
Manila in the Claws of Light needs less than 700 more new ratings to join the Letterboxd 500 - if you haven't seen it, it's one of the greatest Filipino films of all time and available on the Criterion Channel!
Really, really love that the Best Actress wins went to films about the struggles of elderly women: Marietta Subong brings a strongemotional urgency to Sylvia in 2 Valid IDs, while Ruby Ruiz gives a palpable tenderness to Biring in Status: Rejected.
Truly deserved wins.
I'll go first. Eto yung best Cinemalaya lineup ever. And more people showed up (47%+ in sales) kahit na may bagyo ngayon unlike nung October last year. Ginawa na ng mga Philippine cinema supporters ang part nila, nasa distributors at general public na to.
SOBRANG KINIKILIG AKO HUHUUU DESERVE NA DESERVE!!! IT'S A TIE!!!
#CinemalayaXXII awards the Best Actress award for Marietta Subong (2 Valid IDs) and Ruby Ruiz (Status: Rejected) 🫶
