Kabisera Makes It to MMFF 2016
The Metro Manila Film Festival for December 2016 will be different from the past MMFF as viewers will be treated to eight quality films that will provide entertainment to christmas-movie goers. One of these film is a movie by Superstar Ms. Nora Aunor entitled KABISERA.
KABISERA, the biggest
and most powerful family drama of 2016 is coming to theatres nationwide this
December 25th for the Metro Manila Film Festival with a top-caliber cast
headlined by the Grand Dame of Asian Cinema, Nora Aunor. The much-anticipated
MMFF comeback of the one and only superstar is joined by award-winning actors Ricky
Davao, JC De Vera, Jason Abalos, Victor Neri and Perla Bautista. Also joining
the cast are newcomers RJ Agustin, Ronwaldo Martin (brother of Coco Martin),
and Alex San Agustin.
Kabisera is a film about
a tightly knit family whose lives fall apart after a tragic incident. Mercy,
Nora Aunor’s character takes the central seat (Kabisera) to hold her family
together. The film will be Nora Aunor’s return to the annual Metro Manila Film
Festival where she won the most number of awards in the past 42 years.
Kabisera is produced by
Firestarters Manila Productions, the same studio that produced the
award-winning film 1ST KO SI 3RD, together with Silver Story Entertainment.
The MMFF Screening
Committee citation emphasized the film’s quality in choosing KABISERA as part
of the magic 8:
“A sure,
steady directorial hand, conscientious script and effective cinematography are
matched by the lead actors’ faultless performances. This taut and tragic
drama will disturb viewers with its stark chronology of what confronts us daily
in an often oppressive urban milieu, with the final imagery delivering a subtle
footnote to our awareness of the proper place of vaunted justice in our
society.”
