UPFI film screenings
UP Film Institute holds screenings to welcome the new Iskolar ng Bayan
On the occasion of the advance freshmen registration for the country’s premier state university, the UP Film Institute welcomes the latest batch of Iskolar ng Bayan with two acclaimed and relevant films they may do well to ponder, namely, Nick Cassavetes’ “Alpha Dog” and “Kabul Express” —the Indian cinema gem from Kabir Khan in return engagement.
Here are details and descriptions pertinent to concerned screenings:
May 7 Tue 2 & 5 p.m.
May 8 Wed 2 & 7 p.m.
Alpha Dog
A Megavision Films Release
Inspired by true events. One crime, three days, 38 witnesses. How did a crime with so many witnesses go this far?
A kidnapped kid ends up enjoying an illicit summer fantasy of drinking, girls and risky behavior in a drama based on the life of suburban drug dealer Jesse James Hollywood—one of the youngest men ever to be on the FBI's most wanted list.
Official Selection—2006 Sundance Film Festival; Winner of Best Breakthrough Performance- Male for Ben Foster—2006 Young Hollywood Awards
Direction and Screenplay: Nick Cassavetes. Cast: Emile Hirsch, Justin Timberlake, Anton Yelchin, Dominique Swain, Bruce Willis, Sharon Stone, Ben Foster.
2006 117 minutes 35mm color
For mature viewing with pervasive drug use and language, strong violence, sexuality and nudity
Critics are raving:
"...a gritty, gut-wrenching and disturbing film."— USA Today
May 9 Wed 5 p.m.
May 10 Thu 2/5/7 p.m.
May 11 Fri 2/5/7 p.m.
Kabul Express
A Filipino-Indian Friendship and Cultural Society Presentation
Two Indian journalists travel to strife-torn Afghanistan in the aftermath of 9/11 out to scoop the world with a Taliban interview. As they cross path with an Afghan guide, a lady photographer from the United States and a Taliban militant who takes them all hostage, they find out that things wouldn’t quite work out as they hoped.
Official Selection—2006 Toronto IFF, Pusan IFF, London IFF, Dubai IFF
Direction and Screenplay: Kabir Khan. Cast: John Abraham, Linda Arsenio, Arshad Warsi, Salman Shahid, Hanif Hum Ghum
2006 106 minutes 35mm color
Critics are raving:
“Exemplary filmmaking…”—BBCi-Films
“…the first feature film to be shot extensively in Kabul after the official end of the Taliban's reign, and it demonstrates the director's love of the country and its people as well as an incredible sense of humor that both accurately portrays and caricatures all the various races involved.”—Eye for Film

Please refer to the following for notes and descriptions:
Roma, citta’ aperta ( Rome , Open City)
1946, 100 minutes, War
Director : Roberto Rossellini
Starring : Aldo Fabrizi, Anna Magnani, Marcello Pagliero
One of the greatest foreign language films ever made, Roberto Rossellini’s Rome , Open City was filmed in the direct aftermath of World War II on the war-ravaged streets of Italy . Shunning Hollywood gloss and glamour, this frank tale is set against the backdrop of extreme conditions– natural lighting, handheld camerawork and a cast composed largely of non-actors. Based on real events that took place on Nazi-occupied Italy in 1944, it examines the choices that people are forced to make in wartime.
Il Postino (The Postman)
1994, 115 minutes, Drama/Romance
Director : Michael Radford
Starring : Massimo Troisi, Philippe Noiret and Maria Grazia Cucinotta
The touching relationship between the great Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, exiled in a little island near Naples , and a shy and uncultured postman who possessed the heart of a poet. It was the first international success for Troisi, a popular star in Italy , who died the day after filming was completed.
Germania Anno Zero (Germany Year Zero)
1947, 78 minutes, Neorealism
Director : Roberto Rossellini
Starring : Edmund Moeschke, Ernst Pittschau, Barbara Hintz, Franz Graer,
Hingetrad Hinzf, Eric Guhne
After the devastation of World War II, Berlin has become a wasteland of citizens fighting for survival and trying to rebuild some semblance of a normal life. This is the world of twelve-year old Edmund, a child who has known only upheaval and violence. Yet he goes on from day to day, trying to help his family by finding money or food on the streets. One day he meets his former school teacher, who now profits from Nazi propaganda, which sets in motion a shocking new chain of violence.
La Notte di S. Lorenzo (The Night of the Shooting Stars)
1982, 116 minutes, War/Drama
Directors : Paolo & Vittorio Taviani
Starring : Omero Antonutti, Margherita Lozano
Six year-old Cecilia is fascinated by the world and everything in it. And when her family and neighbors flee their village to escape the Nazis, it’s the most exciting moment of her life! But the excitement turns to terror when the enemy begins to close in. Little Cecilia prays for rescue, on this, the Night of the Shooting Stars an evening during which, it is said, all wishes are granted. Can Cecilia’s wish be granted…? Or will this be her eternal night?
Paisa’ (Paisan)
1946, 90 minutes, Neorealism
Director : Roberto Rossellini
Starring : Carmela Sazio, Robert Van Loon, Dots Johnson, Alfonsino Pasca, Maria Michi
Paisan consists of six episodes depicting the resistance struggle and Allied liberation of Italy at the close of World War II. Using a cast of largely non-professional actors, the stories center mostly on small encounters between the Italian people and their liberators: a Sicilian woman is murdered for warning an American patrol of nearby Germans; a drunken GI has his shoes stolen and stumbles upon the children on Naples living in squalor; a girl from Rome, innocent at the time of liberation, becomes a prostitute.
La Corsa dell’ innocente (Flight of the Innocent)
1992, 115 minutes, Thriller
Director : Carlo Carlei
Starring : Manuel Colao, Francesca Neri, Jacques Perrin, Federico Pacifici, Lucio Zagaria
The gentle son of a brutal kidnapper, ten-year-old Vito (Manuel Colao) witnesses the massacre of his family by rival gang and narrowly escapes into the Italian countryside. Relentlessly pursued by the killers and the police, he begins a terrifying life on the run, determined to outwit his followers, find a new, honorable and caring family for himself and end his family’s lineage of crime.
Viaggio in Italia (Journey to Italy )
1953, 80 minutes, Drama
Director : Roberto Rossellini
Starring : Ingrid Bergman, George Sanders
Widely misunderstood and shamefully denigrated at the time of its original release, but now recognized as not simply on of Rossellini’s greatest films but as one of the key works of modern cinema, Journey to Italy is a deceptively simple piece. There is a little plot to speak of: a marriage is breaking up under the strains of a trip to Italy and we watch. But in its deliberate rejection of many aspects of ‘classic’ Hollywood narrative and its stubborn pursuit of a quite different aesthetic, its meandering story line creates space for ideas and time for reflection.
Francesco, giullare di Dio (Francis, God’s Jester)
1950, 75 minutes, Religion / Biography
Director : Roberto Rossellini
Starring : Nazario Gerardi, Aldo Fabrizi, Arabella Lemaitre
Roberto Rossellini and co-writer Federico Fellini lovingly render the very spirit of Franciscan teaching in this extraordinarily fresh and simple film – largely unappreciated at the time of its release, but now regarded as one of his greatest. Shot in a neorealist manner with non-professional actors (including thirteen actual Franciscan monks) it avoids the pious clichés of haloed movie saints with an economy of expression and a touching, human quality.
I Vitelloni (The Young and the Passionate)
1953, 103 minutes Drama
Director : Federico Fellini
Starring : Franco Interlenghi, Alberto Sordi, Franco Fabrizi, Leopoldo Trieste,
Riccardo Fellini, Carlo Romano, Enrico Viarisio, Paola Borboni
I Vitelloni (literally "fatted veal calves") is largely a lighthearted autobiographical story of a 4 idle young men who live in a small seaside town, and their hopes antics, miseries and aspirations. I Vitelloni was Oscar nominated in 1958 and won at Venice Film Festival.
Ladri di biciclette (The Bicycle Thief)
1949, 90 minutes, Drama / Neorealism
Director : Vittorio De Sica
Starring : Lamberto Maggiorani, Roberto Staiola, Lionella Carrell
An excellent example of Italian neorealism, the Bicycle Thief depicts the extreme living conditions in Italy after World War II. Impoverished and desperate for work, Ricci is finally called to a well-paying job in the city, the only condition is that he needs a bicycle-which he has just pawned. The relationship between individuals and the masses is emphasized and Director de Sica chooses amateurs to portray many of the characters.
The film is noted as the Most Outstanding Foreign Film in the U.S. in 1949, and the Golden Globe Winner for Best Foreign Film in 1950

SEROKS screening at UPFI
One rainy night, a xerox operator meets a mysterious woman in a dark, passionate tale of duplicating fates and identities.. .
"Seroks", an intriguing digital indie film by Ed Lejano, will have its UP premiere on February 28 (Wed.) at the UPFI Cine Adarna with screening times at 5 & 7pm.
The pyschological drama, a production of Cinema One Originals, makes use of the film noir style and fuses elements of the thriller, in conveying a recurring pattern of duplicating events that reflect the film's title.
Set in the vibrant world of Recto, Juliana Palermo plays the mysterious woman who moves into a boarding house above a xerox shop. Palermo's femme fatale character soon encounters the xerox operator who works below her (played by Neil Ryan Sese).
As the story unfolds, its diverse, offbeat characters get intertwined into a mosaic of human experience where they all seem to meet a similar "xeroxed" fate. Set amidst contemporary realities of piracy as it tackles the nature of destiny and identities, whether genuine or fake... this is the intriguing world of "Seroks".
For ticket information, please contact UPFI Cine Adarna at 9263640 or text Kriz 09209450344.
"Seroks has a sense of experimentation both in visuals and narrative, ultimately allowing different stories to be told in different ways."
--Yonina Chan, Manila Bulletin
"One of the more interesting entries in this year's Cinema One Digital Film Fest...the production is an exhilarating mishmash of themes - convoluted sex, violence, drama, romance, fate, and the human mind."
--Rito Asilo, Philippine Daily Inquirer

Artists at the UPFI
Film on National Artist Arturo Luz
In fitting commemoration of the National Arts Month, the UP Film Institute screens Ricky Orellana's documentary on National Artist Arturo Luz this Friday, 9 February 2007, at 5 p.m.
Entitled Lines of Vision, the film sketches a portrait of Arturo Luz through the medium of several voices. Dubbed as "a filmwork designed in the manner of a Luz painting," the Black Soup production with support from the Committee on Art Galleries of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts evokes "simple lines, vibrant relationships, and an unwavering sensitivity to its subject."
Lines of Vision leads a special selection of distinct screenings for the UP Film Institute Videotheque this February. It will be followed by Obrang Di Tapos-Rembrandt Vocalan's short film on National Artist Botong Francisco and Signed: Lino Brocka-the celebrated 1987 documentary by Christian Blackwood that won the Peace Film Award at Berlin.
Succeeding Fridays will respectively feature The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl (Feb 16 Fri 5 p.m.) and National Artist Lamberto Avellana's film version of National Artist Nick Joaquin's A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino starring National Artist Daisy Avellana (Feb 23 Fri 5 p.m.).
