Info and Synopsis:
Mama Lydia
Baad ng Pauno (Restless)
Language (Rinconada language of Nabua, Camarines Sur with English Subs)
Documentary, 30 mins
Concept, Subtitles, Edited, Cameraworks, Directed by Dada Docot
My mother and aunt visit from Nabua, a small town 400 kilometers south of the county's capital. They come, however, not for mere leisure, but to fulfill a dream. Shot only in two days, the documentary follows the preparations of the my relatives for the big day. As the documentary unfolds and as the reason for the characters' restlessness is revealed, the audience is invited to share a slice of my family's personal, and maybe, quite private, life stories.
This film is a part of an ongoing multi-media project that discusses issues on identity and space in relation to international mobility.
Please watch. :-) Mga taga-Nabua, MAYNA KITA MAGSILONG! Nyaan!

Well, wait no more. We give you a film festival like no other.
“CINEMA REHIYON: ALTER NATIVO (Films From The Other Philippines)” is the first national film festival that will solely focus on the movies being created outside of Metro Manila. Here are films set in the various regions of the country made by local filmmakers, truly reflecting their own cultures and way of life. Cinema Rehiyon is a non-competition film festival that aims to throw the spotlight on the film communities that are growing rapidly across the nation.
Short and full-length films from all over the Philippines will be exhibited, most of them being shown in Metro Manila for the very first time. It will feature the best and the brightest of the emerging filmmakers who are making their movies in their own dialect, set in their own local towns and cities. The cities that will be representing their regions are: Bacolod, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo and Naga. There will also be a section called ATBP which will feature works from various parts of the country.
