| The only thing that can save the world is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world. - Allen Ginsberg |
In a few hours my ass will be on a plane to vancouver. I want to wish everyone a happy new year in advance and hope you celebrate with lotsa booze, smokes, and sizzling sexy someones. I don't have anything profound or eloquent to write about at the moment so i'll just leave you with some music to listen to...
Check out the punk swag of Razorlight, Bloc Party and The Futureheads. If you prefer the rustic shit then set your ears to American Music Club.
And one last thing...
thought you guys should read this article by none other than alexis that urges us to boycott the Manila Film Festival. As he has written, "It has long been said that Philippine Cinema is on its death-bed. This statement is incorrect. The Philippine film industry, not Cinema as a whole, is; and rightly so. Hundreds of millions of pesos are wasted by the Film Industry investing in works that can not hold a candle to smaller, independent productions...The Philippine Film Industry is on its death-bed...the Metro Manila Film Festival is holding the last nail to seal its coffin. The audience holds the hammer."
P.S.
The Breakfast Show on Studio 23 will be airing a special episode dedicated to Philippine Independent Cinema in 2004, 6:30-8:00am this Friday December 31.
If you would like to see and hear from the filmmakers behind some of the best and most interesting works in Philippine Cinema in 2004, tune-in. Featured guests are:
Khavn Dela Cruz ("Ang Pamilyang Kumakain ng Lupa"),
John Torres ("Salat" and "Tawid Gutom"),
Pam Miras ("Bloodbank"),
Lav Diaz ("Ebolusyon ng Isang Pamilyang Pilipino"),
Rox Lee ("Romeo Must Rock"),
"Bunso" by Ditsi Carolino (film discussed, filmmaker not present),
Mes De Guzman ("Diliman")
and Raya Martin ("The Island at the End of the World").
