.MOV WINS OVER MARCE
Blinding The Eye Of Real Storms

September 9, 2008 - Storm Marce came, we saw the flood rise up the streets of Manila, and still we conquered it with our own party to introduce the Silvershorts finalists at Mag:Net Katipunan. Last Tuesday, .MOV set out to blind the eye of the storm, and blind it we sure did.

Never mind the rain, never mind the traffic. We had our own cluster of stars shining inside Mag:Net, and no amount of gray cloud could dampen their brightness. Seen in the scene were Lav Diaz, Khavn De La Cruz, Raya Martin, Ruelo Lozendo, Alexis Tioseco, and John Torres.

But they weren’t the only folks to look out for. We also had the budding directors at hand to introduce and give certificates to as the finalists for .MOV’s Silvershorts Short Film Competition. Student finalists Minco Fabregas, Jedd Chris Dumaguina, Aissa Penafiel, Mel Rose Aguilar, Arbi Mari Larano and Juan Alcazaren braved the rain to join in on the fun, while four other finalists for the Open Category, two of which had representatives, also arrived despite the terrible traffic in the Metro: Richard Legaspi, Jose Maria Basa, J.I.E. Teodoro, and Ray Gibraltar.

Hosted by Nerissa Guevarra, we were given a treat with the screenings of the following flicks:

  • “A Date With Jao Mapa” by QUARK HENARES
  • “Bisitasyon” by ATO BAUTISTA
  • “Bloodbank” by PAM MIRAS

• “Sulyap” by MO ZEE

After the popcorn has ran out, and after the lights were turned back on, it was then time to pump up the music, courtesy of Chilitees, Khavn De la Cruz and Jesus Mafia (featuring Norman Wilwayco, Palanca Grand Prize for Novel, 2002 and 2008).

Marce definitely was no match for the Signal number 3 raised at the .MOV Silvershorts Finalists party. To check out what else went down, some of the photos from the event can be viewed at dotmovfest.blogspot.com.

And if you missed last Tuesday’s event, there’s no reason to fret, cause we can assure you this is but a taste of more great parties to come from .MOV. The scene to be seen at from October 1 to October 3 is at the Cubao X compound area, with ground zero at MOGWAI Cinematheque. This is what’s shaking up the heart of old Manila on those nights (because we do know how to cook up a partaaaaay):

So keep your eyes peeled for more information and details, and keep it posted at our official website, http://www.movfest.com.
