PRESS RELEASE January 20, 2010

2010 CINEMALAYA FILMS UNRAVEL TALES OF LOVE & WAR IN MINDANAO Three entries by Mindanaoan filmmakers are among the ten finalists of the Full Length category of this years Cinemalaya competition. Maguindanaon filmmaker Gutierrez Mangansakan IIs Limbunan is a glimpse of the hidden world of the limbunan where brides-to-be are kept away from public view. Sheron Dayocs Halaw is the journey of a Badjao father and daughter as they sneak through the Southern backdoor and make the illegal crossing to the island of Sabah. Arnel Mardoquios Sheika is the story of a woman ravaged by the war; in search of peace, she runs to the City where violence and death continue to haunt her. These tales from Mindanao are just some of the many fascinating stories that will unfold in the 2010 Cinemalaya Independent Film Competition and Festival slated on July 9-18 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
