UPFI this March

UP Film Institute this March

The UP Film Institute is proud to present a variety of screenings for March. Among the month’s highlights is the 17th International Women’s Film Festival slated from March 5 Monday to March 8 Thursday. Opening night film is Marta Balletbo-Coll’ s Sevigne. More women films include Amazones from Netherlands and La Pasion de Maria Elena from Mexico.

A spotlight on Canadian filmmakers Marie Boti and Malcolm Guy (on two consecutive Fridays of March 2 and 9) features documentaries filmed in Asia, the Middle East and Canada tracing the experiences of Philippine migrant workers and revealing the broader economic and social policies that dictate their deployment around the world.

An Italian cinema showcase is lined up for a couple of weekends on March 16 and 17 and March 23 and 24. Masterworks both of classic and current vintage are exhibited.

Added main features on view begin with the month’s opener, namely, Bill Condon’s Kinsey while surprise titles await film buffs for a “School Ends Special” to wrap up the current academic year.
