SM to Host Brillante Mendoza Film Workshop on August 9-10
The Internationally- acclaimed Director Brillante Mendoza recently
confirmed his partnership with SM City San Jose Del Monte and SM City Marilao
in bringing his film workshop in Bulacan on August 9 and 10.
Dubbed as Brillante Film Festival, the event will feature one of
Mendoza’s critically acclaimed indie films ‘Ma’ Rosa’ that reaped the Best
Actress Award in 2016 Cannes Film Festival and a nomination in Palme d’Or
including the Best Director award during the 54th Gijon
International Film Festival in Spain.
Students from various schools and universities as well as aspiring
filmmakers and actors in Bulacan will have a rare opportunity to interact with
the Director.
Director Brillante Mendoza will give an in-depth view of
Philippine Independent Film Making. His workshop will also include the never
seen footages of indie film making that cover technical know-how and
comprehensive aspects of indie film making that include direction, screenplay, cinematography,
acting, production design, and sound and editing.
Mendoza, who is known for his advocacies on tackling social
issues, hopes to inspire workshop participants’ probing and critical thinking
skills while improving their capacity in relating to social issues and
appreciating the alternative art movement called “indie-film”.
The Brillante Mendoza Film Festival is a joint project of
Centerstage Productions, SM Cinema, SM City San Jose Del Monte and SM City
Marilao. It is also a part of Brillante
Mendoza’s advocacy to rethink and redefine cinema by sharing his knowledge and
experience in filmmaking with the new generation.
