Khavn dela Cruz gets Banned!
This is not a film by Khavn: Khavn dela Cruz gets Banned!
Banned Movies Pilipinas has once again proven itself as the home of indie artists when it served as the venue for the premiere of John Torres’ Gabi Noong Nalaman Kong Ang Aking Ama ay May Anak sa Labas last January 20 and Raya Martin’s Long Live Philippine Cinema! last February 17.
Come March 24, 2007, Banned Movies Pilipinas will chalk up another milestone when it premieres Khavn dela Cruz’ newest digital film, Literature based on Joel Toledo’s 2004 2nd prize winning Palanca for Poetry. A recent recipient of the Grand Jury Prize in the recently concluded Digital Lokal competition of Cinemanila, Khavn dela Cruz is an award winning filmmaker who has made 16 features and more than 60 short films. He is also one of the movers behind the Independent Filmmakers Cooperative (IFC) and Filmless Films. Khavn is jack of all trades: a teacher, a Palanca winning writer, and a musician. Considered as indie cinema’s enfant terrible (Giovanni Spagnoletti, Festival Director, Pesaro Film Festival), he will also screen his other groundbreaking digital films namely, Institusyon ng Makata (which stars Marvin Agustin), Amen, and I’m Not Batman (with the Radioactive Sago Project).
Complementing the night’s out there theme are bands with an avant garde edge: Taggu nDios, Linch 12, Khavn’s own band, The Brockas and the most avant garde of them all, the Andy Warhol’s of rock n roll, Kiko Machine and many more.
So free up your schedule on March 24 and come down to Center for Arts in Timog, Quezon City at 7PM and experience what living on the edge feels like.
The event is made possible through ClicktheCity. com, Transit, Red Leaf Printing press, Anthem magazine and NU 107.

The Films
Institusyon ng Makata
Tony de Guzman, current resident at the Institute of Poets , is one pissed-off, walking timebomb. Short of fuse, this shrewd citizen of the Philippine ghetto sets his sights on foreign classmate Steve Banners, a pompous self-righteous dude with delusions of America 's grandeur at the expense of Third World inequity. It stars Marvin Agustin.
AMEN
"Amen" is a brown comedy, the Filipino version of the black comedy. It's a cultural satire on blind obedience, specifically on the Filipino tradition of "mano": placing the hand of an elder on one's forehead as a sign of superficial respect.
I’m not Batman
A Batman is in the house, but he's no crusading knight from Gotham. Rather than haunting rooftops, he prowls the Quezon City streets for his prey. With special appearance by the Radioactive Sago Project.
Literature
Based on Joel Toledo’s poem of the same title. This poem is part of the collection that won Second Prize for Poetry in the 2004 Palanca Awards

Todo Todo Torres: John Gets Banned
On January 20 at 7pm, Banned Movies Pilipinas kicks off the new year at the Freedom Bar in Quezon City with "Todo Todo Torres: John Gets Banned." A cum laude graduate of the Ateneo de Manila University, indie filmmaker John Torres is a recipient of Vancouver's Dragons and Tigers Award, Singapore's Fipresci-Netpac Award, and Cinemanila's 2005 Ishmael Bernal Award for Young Cinema. The event will screen four of his short films, namely, "Tawid Gutom," "Salat," "Paano Kita Liligawan ng 'Di Kumakapit sa 'Yo?" and "Gabi, Nang Nalaman Ko na Ang Aking Ama ay May Anak sa Labas."
Between these 3-12 minute-films, the rawest and freshest local bands will be rocking the scene. Among them are Taggu nDios, Severo, Pumping Pluto, Linch 12, Xeven Thursday, Surfherloverboy, Final Vow, and the Board of Trustees.
So, watch Banned Movies. Watch us rally the cause of Pinoy indie film and music.
And don't worry. Everything's legal.
For more information, call 6673061 or email us at banned_movies@yahoo.com
A production outfit formed in 2006, Banned Movies Pilipinas offers alternative venues for the country's indie film and music; we take independent filmmakers from their home video players and top-flight bands from their garages and bring them both to the public. We intend to break new ground, producing albums for struggling local bands and creating film productions relevant to Philippine Cinema.
