TM Malones' SALVI: ANG PAGPADAYON to be Screened with the Masters at the National Filmfest

Looks like Ilonggo filmmaker TM Malones' movie SALVI: ANG PAGPADAYON is already done, and will definitely have a grand splash as it will be screened during the Film Development Council of the Philippines' 2013 Sineng Pambansa National Film Festival All-Masters Edition which will exclusively be screened in 45 branches of SM Cinema across the country from September 11, 2013 to September 17, 2013. SALVI was chosen to be the film under the festival's New Breed cinema. SALVI: ANG PAGPADAYON is the feature-length version of Malones' short film SALVI which won the FDCP’s local film competition last January. [hit the jump to continue]

Last March, SYOWING reported that Malones was filming a movie entitled ISKERDA, now it seems that it was just a working title, now the secret is out; they were filming the full-length version of SALVI. The story of SALVI: ANG PAGPADAYON is set in a post-apocalyptic world that looks intense, moody, and dramatically attractive. It will surely be something that could inspire Iloilo's Film Community.
