Ilonggo Film BEADWORKS to be screened August 5

The ILONGGO MOVIE entitled "BEADWORKS" just recently had their film premiere last July 20, 2012 at the SM City Cinema; and before it will go into a festival tour and into regular screening in other regions, the movie will once again be having their screening here in Iloilo, at SM City Cinema, Cinema 3, on August 5, 2012 Sunday, at 12 noon. [READ THE FULL ARTICLE...]

BEADWORKS is a full-length film directed by Ronny Poblacion, and written by Rene B. Cordon. Its cast include Chuck Luat, Mona Pico, Caye Leal, JP Liboon, Keith Mamon, Rex Labid, Janna Eve Marin, Klarrize Muñoz, and many others.

This movie is one of the three Ilonggo movies included in this year's Sineng Pambansa National Film Competition by the FDCP (Film Development Council of the Philippines) The other two movies are ANG MGA ASWANG by John Raymund Macahilas, and GUGMA SA PANAHON SANG BAKUNAWA by Peter Solis Nery.

Here is the film's synopsis...
This high drama film anchors on the lives of Veronica, Domingo and their five children. Deprived by the lack of opportunity and a series of bad luck after losing his job,  Domingo is left with no choice but to learn this laborious handicraft of bead working with his wife and children. Awkward for the men in the family at first, this craft turned out to be somewhat beneficial for the whole family for if food is so much more important for survival what else is there?
This heart rending story of shame and scandal, passion and exploitation illustrate how poverty can drive a united family into the abyss of hopelessness, brokenness and destruction where many common things in their life waits to speak to them of the pain, to connect them to the inner spaces where deeper meaning lies.

But hope springs eternal. With a decided heart to release the demons of the past, Veronica cries out to take all that is lost, to sear her soul in surrender. She saw glimmer in her darkness. She trusts that all is not lost.
