Movie Review: Bukod Kang Pinagpala
In
an old house replete with images of Catholic icons and symbols, a
young lady struggles with the demented religious fanaticism of her
mother, who it seems cannot differentiate between pious fervour and
demonic possession- for both exist simultaneously in her being. The
daughter seeks help for mother’s behavior, but as days go by, their
relationship turns from harrowing to horrific, as strange phenomena
occur inside the house, driving the daughter to evade and overcome her
mother’s deranged machinations.Movie Review: Dahling Nick
Dahling
Nick is a documentary drama exploring the life and works of National
Artist for Literature, Nick Joaquin, who only accepted the National
Artist Award on the condition the Marcos administration release a
well-known writer who was being unjustly detained during Martial Law.
Depicting the “inner world” of this canonical writer, who wrote both
novels as well as journalistic works, the juxtaposition of documentary
interviews, episodes from his life, and evocative imagery from his
literary pieces will create a cinematic collage.

so-called People Power Revolution of 1986, spawning a group of young
dreamers bewildered, wondering, and wandering, discovering the fire of

known and lowly regarded revolution of sorts – the emergence of a new
underground, independent, and alternative cinema.
