Panibagong karangalan na naman ang nasungkit ng Pilipinas sa 83rd Venice International Film Festival na ginanap sa Lido Island, Venice Italy, na tumakbo noong September 2 hanggang September 12.
Makikita sa Instagram account ng FDCP (Film Development Council of the Philippines) ang post nang pagwawagi ng grupo ni Direk Lav Diaz kamakailan.
“Another win for acclaimed Filipino filmmaker Lav Diaz.
“Lav Diaz has won the prestigious Brian Award (Premio Brian) at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival for his historical drama ‘
‘Makikiraan Po (Let Us Through, Dear Ancestors)’.
“The award recognizes films that champion human rights, freedom, and conscience, honoring Diaz’s powerful portrayal of the 17th century Spanish colonial brutality, led by a compelling performance from Bart Guingona.
“This marks another Venice win for Diaz, a decade after he took home the Golden Lion for the ‘The Woman Who Left’.
“The Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) proudly extends its warmest congratulations to Direk Lav and producer Hazel Orencio, proud grantees of the FDCP International Film Festival Assistance Program (IFFAP), and to the entire team behind ‘Makikiraan Po’.
“Mabuhay ang pelikulang Pilipino!”
“Congratulations Christian and to the whole team!” sabi sa post ng Cornerstone Entertainment.
Kasama rin sa pelikula sina Ronnie Lazaro, Isabel Sandoval, Yul Servo, Bong Cabrera, Rafa Siguion-Reyna.
Si Lovi Poe via C’est Lovi Productions, alongside Montgomery Blencowe and Bianca Balbuena ang mga producer ng pelikulang ito.
