Metro Manila Film Festivals http://www.metromanilafilmfestivals.com Screening schedules and venues, reviews and synopses of movies from Film Festivals in Metro Manila!

Formulaic? Maybe. Conventional? Perhaps.

You can say whatever you want about Star Cinema but among the top mainstream studios today, they deliver the better films. And every now and then, they give us totally unexpected films that just blow us away despite the restrictions and structures of mainstream filmmaking. (Think Bagong Buwan, Bata Bata Paano Ka Ginawa, or Jologs.)

And this weekend, Star Cinema, also known as ABS-CBN Film Productions, joins forces with SM Cinema to bring us CINEXPO 2011: The Anatomy of Filmmaking, a 3-day seminar for film enthusiasts and students. This movie expo will feature discussions with some of the best mainstream filmmakers in the country including critically acclaimed director Olivia Lamasan (Sana Maulit Muli, In My Life), Production Designer Leo Abaya (Jose Rizal), and UP Film Professor Ed Lejano.

And this year, as they give us their 13th lineup of films, I’m pretty sure not much will change.

Showcasing the best of Japanese contemporary cinema, Eiga Sai is held in celebration of the Philippines-Japan Friendship month, which is July.

This year Eiga Sai will happen not just in Metro Manila but also in other key cities in the country. Kicking off in Shangri-La Plaza Mall in Mandaluyong City from July 1 to 11, 2010, there will also be screenings at Gaisano South City Mall in Davao City from July 23-25, Ayala Center Cinema 4 in Cebu City from August 3-8, and ending at the UP Film Institute (UP Cine Adarna) in Diliman, Quezon City from August 18-21.

Eiga Sai literally translates to “film festival.” It aims to strengthen the diplomatic relations between Japan and the Philippines through the continuous and several opportunities for Pinoys to understand and appreciate Japanese arts and culture as depicted in films. Eiga Sai 2010 offers eight brilliant contemporary movies and two anime films.

Eiga Sai 2010 starts with Always Sunset on Third Street 2 (Always zoku San-chome no yuhi, 2007) directed by Yamazaki Takashi on Thursday July 1 at 7pm at Shangri-La Cinema 4. The following films complete this years roster:

  • Miyori in the Sacred Forest (Miyori no mori, 2007) directed by Yamamoto Nizo
  • Frantz Kafka’s A Country Doctor (Kafka Inaka isha, 2007) directed by Yamamura Koji.
  • How to Become Myself (Ashita no watashi no tsukurikata, 2007) directed by Ichikawa Jun,
  • The Bandage Club (Houtai kurabu, 2007) directed by Tsutsumi Yukihiko,
  • Glasses (Megane, 2007) directed by Ogigami Naoko,
  • The Battery – Future in Our Hands (Batterii, 2007) directed by Takita Yojiro
  • I Just Didn’t Do It (Soredemo boku wa yatte nai, 2007) directed by Suo Masayuki,
  • Fourteen (Juyon-sai, 2007) directed by Hirosue Hiromasa,

If you don’t understand Japanese, don’t you worry as these films will be screened with English subtitles. For any inquiries and other concerns, call the JFM at (+632) 811-6155 to 58.
