Perfumed Nightmare” was unforgettable. And so is its creator, Kidlat Tahimik. Born Eric Oteyza de Guia in 1942. Self-taught cineaste. Primitive filmmaker. Fiercely anti-commercial. Advocate of what he calls the Pinoy indio-genius. This we do by slaying the cultural father that is Hollywood. Breaking out of the colonial cocoon,as it were An indefatigable indie, he churns out film after film after film to this day. His praxis is to dig out his sariling duende, buried alive
by education, and setting it free. (Khavn De La Cruz)

‘Dayo’ gets Grade A from Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB)

December 20th, 2008

Dayo sa Mundo ng Elementalia,” the Philippines’ first all-digital, full-length animated film entry to the 34th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), has received a grade of A from the Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB) when it was reviewed yesterday (Dec. 18), a day prior to its red carpet premiere at SM Megamall Cinema 10. This merits a 100 percent rebate on amusement tax for the animated feature produced by Cutting Edge Productions.

The CEB, which operates under the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), grants tax rebates to well-crafted local films.

Dayo,” which is also being endorsed by the Department of Education (DepEd) and the National Council for Children’s Television (NCCT), follows the adventure of Bubuy (voiced by Nash Aguas), an 11-year-old boy from Antipolo, who takes on a journey to save his beloved grandparents abducted into Elementalia—a fantasy land thriving with strange flora and fauna and home to several enchanted creatures of Philippine mythology.

Event: Cyberzone XP: A Gaming XPerience

December 19th, 2008

cyberzone One E-Com, Mall of Asia ComplexCyberzone takes computer gaming out of the box and into your world as it looks back on the past and present of computer gaming technology with a thrilling life-size representation of popular games in “Cyberzone XP: A Gaming XPerience,” a free exhibit featuring the world famous F1 Ferrari replica and a display of various vintage gaming consoles.

Select spaces in the modern Cyberzone at One E-Com Center were transformed into a veritable world of sorts—from the combative field of soldiers in camouflage, to the medieval age of knights; from the mystical realm of creatures, to the tough arena of athletes. Visitors at the “Cyberzone XP” can take great pleasure in viewing the variety of characters that represent the sometimes all-too real figures on games from December 14 to January 14. The highlight, and absolute favorite area from shoppers is the impressive F1 Ferrari replica set-up. The exhibit also features select vintage consoles that evoke an era when 3D graphics and challenging gameplay were at its infancy; and player options such as multiple online matches and role-playing preferences were but mere ideas.

‘Dayo’ OST in stores now

December 15th, 2008

Dayo OST Cover

Even before “Dayo sa Mundo ng Elementalia” hits the cinemas on December 25, it has already registered a lot of firsts for the Philippine movie industry. “Dayo” has been brave in meeting heads on with films under proven box office formulas. But not only it is brave, it proves to be daring as it introduces another first in filmmaking, that of releasing its musical score recorded in full orchestra. “Dayo” is poised not only as a feast to the eyes but will seek to establish a deeper connection with the audience through its music.

Jessie Lasaten, multi-awarded film music composer and executive producer of “Dayo,” weaves magic this time complementing the digital animated film with an ensemble of an all-Filipino musical talent and the use of indigenous instruments. Providing for a multi-sensorial treat to audiences of all ages, “Dayo’s” soundtrack highlights the rendition of world-renowned performer Lea Salonga of the movie’s theme song, “Lipad.” Her version of “Lipad” and the whole film score were recorded together with the FILharmoniKA under the baton of Gerard Salonga.
