KALELDO screening

Special Full Run for Kaleldo

To usher in New Year 2007, the UP Film Institute holds a special full run for one of the year’s most significant Filipino films, Kaleldo (Summer Heat),

directed by Brillante Mendoza and starring Cherry Pie Picache, Angel Aquino, Juliana Palermo and Johnny Delgado.

The acclaimed film that had its world premiere in the first ever Rome International Film Festival last October screens on

Jan 4 Thu, Jan 5 Fri, Jan 6 Sat, and Jan 8 Mon to Jan 10 Wed
thrice each day at 2, 5 and 7 p.m.

Its internationally exhibited full integral version (Director’s Cut) will be shown exclusively for the country’s premier state university community as a truly rare occasion not to be missed.

The saga of a domineering father and his three grownup daughters in a town devastated by volcanic eruption ten years earlier, Kaleldo sustains the expanding line of local titles prominently placing the Philippines in the world map of cinema. After serving as Opening Film at the Extra Section of the 1st Rome IFF (13-21 October 2006), Kaleldo made more world stops, namely, 43rd Vienna IFF (13-25 October 2006); 26th Hawaii IFF (Filipino Focus, 19-29 October 2006); 30th Cairo IFF (Festival
of Festivals, 28 November-8 December 2006).

The UP Film Institute’s series of screenings for Kaleldo seeks to provide the needed push for Filipino quality films that indeed make a difference for the general good of Philippine cinema.
