In the tradition of bringing blockbuster films to the country’s summer party capital, no. 1 cable channel Cinema One proudly holds “Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank” screening in White House Beach Resort, Station 1, Boracay on March 31 (Saturday), 6p.m.
The movie creatively chronicles a day in the life of three ambitious, passionate but misguided filmmakers who’s seeking for exposure in international filmfests. Then, they get Eugene Domingo as their lead actress to do poverty porn. More than its box office success, film’s concept has undoubtedly touched Filipinos’ humor.
The lead star of “Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank” Eugene recently took home the coveted People’s Choice award in the 6th Asian Film Awards held in Hongkong.
Prior to this victory, the movie was nominated in the 42nd Berlin International Film Festival for Best First Feature and Cinema Fairbindet awards, as well as in Vancouver International Film Festival for the Dragons & Tigers Award for Young Cinema.
The film has also been invited to some international filmfests such as the Hawaii International Film Festival, Busan International Film Festival, Udine Far East Film Festival and Tokyo International Film Festival.
“Ang Babae Sa Septic” also received good reviews from some renowned film critics. In a review by Asia News Network’s Yasminka Lee she said “Ang Babae is brilliant because it is a commentary on this obsession for poverty porn by being humorous and thought-provoking at the same time.”
The event will be hosted by the hilarious John Lapuz and talented Cai Cortez. Beachgoers of all ages will definitely enjoy as it also offers fun summer games and sizzling entertainment by fire dancers and the Patikeros.
