Cine Europa Kicks off at Shangri-La Kristian Javier
MANILA, Philippines — Cine Europa, the longest film festival in the country, opens today in its 19th year at Shangri-La Plaza, Mandaluyong and will travel for four months to 10 other cities and municipalities with its 28 well-crafted and meaningful movies.
Celebrating the 25th year anniversary of the European Union (EU) Delegation in the Philippines, Cine Europa chose "Friendship" as the theme of the movies. “It’s the 25 year anniversary. By having the theme friendship, we thought that this will show also the friendship we have between the EU and the Philippines in celebrating our 25 years here,” Martin Lentz, charge d'affaires of the EU Delegation to the Philippines.
Friendship between the EU and the Philippines has been good, according to Lentz.
“It’s getting deeper, getting broader,” he said. “We have more cultural exchange, and again, the festival is one illustration of this.”
Cine Europa opens with the film “Of Sinners and Saints” directed and starred by Ruben Maria Soriquez, a Filipino-Italian actor. “This is my first project here in the Philippines, and I directed it, and I starred it, and I’m so happy to have worked with great actors in the movie.” Soriquez said, also revealing that the movie was completed in 2015 before his TV series “Dolce Amore.”
“I’m honored, really honored. Because that’s what I’m trying to do from the start, since I am half-Italian, is to build a bridge between the two countries, and have more co-productions between the two countries.” Soriquez said.

He said it feels good to have his film open for Cine Europa.
Soriquez also said that he is open to direct again for Cine Europa, but will avoid drama and action. “It will be like dark comedy,” he said.
Cine Europa will be shown at Shangri-La starting Sept. 8 and will take a road trip to Baguio, Iloilo, Cebu, Tacloban, Palawan, Zamboanga, Davao, Cagayan De Oro, and lastly, at Kalaw, Manila from Dec. 6 – 11.

Family-focused CINE EUROPA tours 9 Philippine Cities

The 17th edition of the annual Cine Europa, which begins on Thursday and runs until Sept. 21, showcases 23 movies from 17 countries with a theme focused on the varied cinematic interpretations of contemporary European families.

According to Delegation of the European Union (EU) to the Philippines political counselor Julian Vassallo, instead of the festival's usual three-city roadshow this time it will go on a tour of nine cities around the country.

After the Manila leg from Sept. 11 to 21, the festival will move on to Baguio (Sept. 23 to 28), Iloilo (Sept. 30 to Oct. 5), Cebu (Oct. 10 to 12), Leyte (Oct. 16 to 19), Tacloban (Oct. 21 to 26), Davao (Oct. 28 to Nov. 2), Zamboanga (Nov. 4 to 9) and Cagayan de Oro (Nov. 13-16).

In a message, EU Ambassador to the Philippines Guy Ledoux said “events on the ground”—the three-week attack on Zamboanga City by followers of Nur Misuari—prevented them from taking the festival to Zamboanga last year, “but we are confident we will succeed this time around.”

“For the first time, we will screen our movies for audiences in Zamboanga as well as Baybay, Leyte and even Tacloban, where we especially hope to attract those displaced by Typhoon Haiyan,” Vassallo said.

“Going to as many cities as possible is very important to the European cultural group, which is keen to reach the four corners of the Philippines. The fact that the Philippines has 7,107 islands doesn't help, but we are doing our best,” he added, strongly alluding to the logistical and technical demands of screening in nine cities with varied theater facilities suitable for a film festival.

The changing family

Vassallo said the European family has changed dramatically, both in demographics and composition.

“Far fewer children means much smaller families. With often both parents working, the dynamics at home have changed. Add to that the number of single-parent families and the number of marriages that break down, and you have a very different picture of the European family from just 50 or 60 years ago,” he said.

However, the senior EU diplomat said that to conclude from this that present European families are weakened and disintegrating is premature and wrong.

“Some of these movies we are presenting tell a different story. They illustrate that while in some senses European families have changed beyond recognition, relationships can be as strong as ever, maybe even stronger,” he said.

“Fewer children means more time for individual attention. There is today a much clearer appreciation and demand for quality time with our children. And when was the last time you heard a parent repeat that horrible old mantra that children should be seen but not heard?” he added.

Lectures

The festival will have an educational section aimed at encouraging young people to consider a career in cinema and to expose Filipino filmmakers to the opportunities for collaboration with their European counterparts.

The section will feature the screening of three recognized Filipino cinematic jewels, to be accompanied by lectures.

On Sept. 12, Filipino film producer and educator Alemberg Ang will moderate a lecture-forum on film appreciation, to be followed by the showing of Maryo de los Reyes' FAMAS award-winning “Magnifico” (2003) at 2 p.m. and Auraeus Solito's Cinemalaya award-winning “Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros” (2005).

On Sept. 20, a group of cultural officers from Spain, Italy, and France will hold a forum with Filipino filmmakers, to be followed by the 3:30 p.m. screening of Lav Diaz's “Norte, Hangganan ng Kasaysayan.”

“Norte” won the Pardo d’Oro at this year's Locarno International Film Festival and the Best Film award at Serbia's Pancevo International Film Fest.

The three films were chosen to point out the similarities between families in the Philippines and European countries.

The educational forums will be held in Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong City, then at the University of San Carlos in Cebu on Oct. 10.

The 2014 Cine Europa formally opens on Sept. 11 with the 8 p.m. invitational screening of Romania’s “Pozitia Copilului” (Child’s Rose) at Cinema 2 of the Shang Cineplex, Shangri-La Plaza.

Running from September to November this year, Cine Europa is one of the country's longest film festivals, if not the longest.

Participating countries this year are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Switzerland.

Admission to Cine Europa 17 is free for all screenings in all locations during the festival. Film details may be extracted from eeas.europa.eu/delegations/philippines.

"Unofficially Yours" - the First Movie Team-Up Cruz/Locsin

Star Cinema's "Unofficial Yours". the first movie teamup of John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin, earned already 18.5 million Pesos on its first day.

Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, this movie tells the story of a casual relationship. The opening numbers bode well for the film, especially since "No Other Woman" went on to become the second most successful movie last year with total gross revenue of 282.5 million Pesos for its entire run. 

The success of "Unofficially Yours" also cements Cruz's strong appeal at the box office. 

Relax - and enjoy a movie. Enjoy: "Unofficially Yours".
