Cinemanila International Film Festival 2010 recap
I'm now in Dubai, took numerous photos and videos. But before I give you all updates of my misadventures there, I'll do a recap of Cinemanila International Film Fest first.
Like I mentioned in a previous post, I went to Cinemanila right after the Torino Film Festival/ Film Lab.
3rd of December. I arrived in Manila during the afternoon, I was picked up at the airport. I intended the festival to be one where I could rest, since the Torino schedule was so hectic.
"Well, for tonight, I'll just relax, and maybe catch the SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD screening." I told Raymond, who was picking me up. His day job is actually as a TV writer.
"Oh, I'm afraid you can't do it. The awards ceremony is tonight." Raymond said.
"What? But today's only the second day of the festival!" I was flabbergasted.
"Yes, but they wanted to get the awards out of the way first." Raymond said.
So... that evening, we went to the award ceremony.
Here are the trophies.

Student protesters crashing party in Torino
After visiting the National Cinema Museum, I saw another group of student protesters. Dum dum dum.

Despite being slightly delayed by the student protests, the last pitching session went by pretty smoothly.
