Cannes-Bound ‘Directors Factory Philippines’ Wraps Filming
Four short films making up anthology project 'Director Factory Philippines' has completed photography and will head to Cannes.
Operating since 2013, when it kicked off in Taiwan, the Directors’ Factory works with a new partner country each year to mentor eight budding filmmakers who are preparing ambitious first or second feature projects that they will make in pairs. Eve Baswel (Philippines) and Gogularaajan Rajendran (Malaysia) directed the short film “Walay Balay”, the portrait of a mother and daughter, evacuated during wartime to a safe neighbourhood they will call home. Arvin Belarmino (Philippines) and Lomorpich Rithy (aka YoKi) (Cambodia) directed the short film “Silig,” in which a stubborn and feisty woman, dying from cancer, returns to her hometown to organize her own cremation.
