6th Cinema Rehiyon’s ‘Crossing Regions’: From Baguio to Davao to Germany
F
rom one region to another, these films feature “crossbreed” of stories shot in different locations, with themes highlighting artistry and gender equality. These films are under the roof of the program, “Crossing Regions” of the upcoming sixth installment of Cinema Rehiyon, to be hosted by Xavier University’s Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts (XCCA) on February 18-22. Three films will be presented for the mixed program, showing at Febuary 21, 7-9p.m. at Xavier University Little Theater
(XULT) and on the next day at SM City Cagayan de Oro Cinema 3, 12 noon to 2:30p.m. The lineup will be frontlined by “Strawberry and Durian” by Noriel Jarito, a story about two artists, who met in the city of Davao and fell in love with each other. However, a desperate small time crook is trying to hunt them. As the film synopsis asks, “Could they possible surpass all the challenges that might come along their way?” Moving on, “Bamboo Flowers” by Maryo delos Reyes will follow Jarito’s film. Written by Aloy Adlawan,
“Bamboo Flowers” is about youth's problems, hopes and aspirations, love and life, forgiveness and acceptance. Among the members of the cast are Mylene Dizon as Sandra, a Boholana who went back to her province after losing her husband and Max Collins as Dolores, a Tourism undergraduate who did his internship at a posh resort and met an old tourist who offered her an opportunity of a lifetime. Lastly, Crossing Regions will feature “Jazz in Love” by Baby Ruth Villarama. Villarama’s film depicts the long distance love affair
between Ernesto "Jazz" Tigaldao and his German boyfriend Theo Rutkowski, which all started on Facebook. Is it going to be a happyever-after ending? That’s for us to find out this February 22 at SM Cinema 3. After the program, there will be an interaction between the audience and the filmmakers. Under the banner of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), Cinema Rehiyon forms part of the National Arts Month (NAM) celebration.
