Movie Review: World Premieres Film Festival Philippines 2015 Shorts Features





 Pusong Bato is about Cinta Dela Cruz, a middle-aged faded actress who tries to relive and remember her glorious days as a movie star in the 1970s. She does this by watching films at home everyday until one day, during an earthquake; something breaks into her window and wakes her up from her Hollywood dream. 

The satire on this film is at times both deep and clever with matching top-notch performance from Mailes Canapi.
Unique, witty and discerning. A one of a kind short film!



My Verdict:  5/5

Pwede Ba Kitang Lapitan



Tristan is a young French photographer sent to the Philippines for a Photo-shoot. After the loss of his child, he uses the trip as an excuse to run away from the problems that are haunting him and his couple at home. As he escapes through the beautiful landscapes of northern Luzon, he finds himself even more entangled in the web of his past. Do our problems have frontiers or do they go everywhere with us ? 

Beautifully photographed.

My Verdict:  3/5


Agos



Set in the rural Philippines, Nina's mother recounts her by gone ambition of moving into the city. She and Nina are faced with concerns about their choices as they begin to realize what gives them true happiness.

The shots are like a moving painting. Profound and moving.


My Verdict:  3.5/5




 A science fiction short film that explores the importance of memory on modern man's psyche and personal history; but seeking also the bounderies and consequences of technology on the mental well- being of man.A science fiction short film that explores the importance of memory on modern man's psyche and personal history; but seeking also the bounderies and consequences of technology on the mental well- being of man.
