=======FRIDAY FILM BAR SCHEDULE===
===NINE NIGHTS OF MUSIC, FILMS, OPEN JAM===
------------------------------
August 17 | 6:30 PM
------------------------------
THEME: Against the Flow
Featured Performer: Pinikpikan.
The band, whose songs were used for the music score of the featured film, livens up the Film Bar night with Filipino world music that combines rhythms, instruments and melodies from north to south of the Philippine archipelago fused with the music of Latin America, Africa and Arab nations. Hailed as the 'uncommercialized' pioneer of Filipino brand of world-fusion music in the country, Pinikpikan has its own cult following especially among the artists, art lovers, intellectuals and young professionals.
Featured Film: "In Da Red Korner" (2006)
A film by Dado C. Lumibao and Bong Ramos. The film is about Doring, a 24-year old girl who is engaged in a sport that is not common to Filipino women—boxing. It stars Meryll Soriano. This was a finalist at the 2006 Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival.
Student short film: "Sakdal Laya" (2006)
Directed by Tey Clamor, this experimental film frames visual images of women in a patriarchal society, heightened by vignettes of violence and sexual abuse. The film is the country's official entry to the 2007 Student Oscars competition of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), the award-giving body of the Oscar awards.
----------------------------
August 24 | 630pm
----------------------------
THEME: Face to Face with our Dark Side
Featured Performer: Agaw Agimat.
The alternative/ punk band Agaw Agimat had been known for over a decade for their politically- themed anthems that challenge listeners and clamor for change.
Featured Film: "Manila By Night" (1980)
Directed by National Artist Ishmael Bernal. Manila by Night is considered one of Philippine Cinema's best works. Also released as "City After Dark," the film is recognized locally and abroad as it probes the city's depravity and exposes its strangeness through a string of characters played by the most competent actors of its time.
Student short film: "Bingit" (2007)
Directed by Michael Cardoz, Bingit is about a girl doing field research on headhunting in a remote rural community, where she finds her self faced with a double-sided story – one that is much believed by the community and the other which is the unspoken protected truth. The short was awarded as one of the UPFI's Best Thesis production of 2007.
-----------------------------
August 31 | 630 PM
-----------------------------
THEME: Urban Angst and the Search for Hope
Featured Performer: Heber Bartolome.
Heber Bartolome is the voice of the legendary protest folk-rock band Banyuhay. An advocate for change and reform, Heber sang about the truth. But his songs were always hopeful.
Featured Film: "Maynila sa Kuko ng Liwanag" (1975)
Directed by National Artist Lino O. Brocka. Maynila… (Manila in the Claws of Neon) is the tragic story of a small-town fisherman who went to the big city to search for his sweetheart, and in the process, loses his innocence and humanity.
Student short film: "Nasaan Ang Katawan Ni Baklesh?" (2007)
Directed by Hedge Calagui, Nasaan Ang Katawan Ni Baklesh (Where is the Gay Man's Body?) is a video documentary that aims to supply knowledge of the intricacies of contemporary gay culture by opening a door to a more open and more flexible view of homosexuals -- eliminating the stereotypes and rigid typecasting which are unnecessary and very freedom-restraining.
