‘Sineng Pambansa’ goes to San Fernando

May 26, 2011

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The Sineng Pambansa (National Cinema) film festival, a program thrust of the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), will hold the first Pampanga Film Festival here starting Thursday until May 28.
The first three successful staging of the national cinema film festival were held earlier this year in Iloilo City (January), Zamboanga City (February), and Baguio City (March).
The Pampanga film fest will have three venues: the Robinsons Starmills cinemas, the San Fernando Heroes Hall, and selected barangays around the city.
The festival will mark the second outing of the mobile Sine ng Masa (People’s Cinema) of the FDCP’s national cinema campaign. The mobile cinema debuted at the Baguio City film festival last March.
Overall, the Sineng Pambansa program aims to empower Filipino filmmakers, both mainstream and independent; promote their films in various regions of the Philippines; encourage creativity and production among young Filipino filmmakers; and give local audiences a new perspective of the Philippine film industry and instill a sense of cultural pride.
The FDCP theme is “Bringing Filipino Films to Filipinos.”
The nationwide film festival is a joint project of the FDCP and local government units.
The Pampanga Film Festival will feature the following films at the Robinson’s Starmills cinemas — Maynila: Sa Mga Kuko ng Liwanag (Lino Brocka, 1975), Rosario (Albert Martinez, 2010), Tirador (Brillante Mendoza, 2007), Sampaguita (Francis Xavier Pasion, 2010), Here Comes the Bride (Chris Martinez, 2010), Sabungero (Rozie Delgado and Miguel Kaimo, 2009), Noy (Dondon Santos, 2010), and The Red Shoes (Raul Jorolan, 2010).
The film fest will open with a Filipino film classic, Higit sa Lahat (Gregorio Fernandez, 1955), which starred famous Pampango actor and matinee idol Rogelio de la Rosa.
The films to be shown at the Heroes Hall, which is home to statues honoring the heroes of San Fernando, include three films by Mike de Leon, Signos (1983), Aliwan Paradise (1992), and Bayaning Third World (2000), and Lupita Aquino Kashiwahara’s 1976 film, Minsa’y Isang Gamugamo, story of which revolves around the former American military base in Pampanga.
The Sine ng Masa barangay mobile cinema will feature the following films: Kahit Konting Pagtingin (Pablo Santiago, 1990), Zamboanga (Eduardo de Castro, 1937), Till We Meet Again (Elwood Perez, 1990), Mano Po 3 (Joel Lamangan, 2004), and Forever (Rowell Santiago, 1994).
Complementing the film festival will be associated events, including a press conference on the first day, May 26, an open forum after selected film showings, and a lecture workshop conducted by Francis Xavier Pasion, director of Sampaguita (2010), at the University of the Assumption, on the topic “How to have your break: directing your first film.”
A memorandum of agreement on the holding of the film festival was earlier signed by FDCP chairman Briccio Santos and San Fernando City Mayor Oscar Rodriguez.
The mayor emphasized the importance of the festival to the people of San Fernando because “it puts the city in the entertainment and cultural hub of Region III.”
Chairman Santos, for his part, mentioned the opportunity of getting the support of City Governments nationwide with Rodriguez being the President of the League of Cities of the Philippines.
