3rd .MOV International Digital Film Festival

Blind the Eye of the Storm: .MOV Signals Three!

    .MOV (pronounced “dot-mov”), the first digital filmfest in the Philippines which jumpstarted the digital revolution in the country back in 2002, will have its third edition in Robinsons Galleria Cinema from September 30 to October 7, 2008.

    The Opening Night, started by a DJ set from Diego Mapa (Pedicab) and Diego Castillo ( Sandwich ) and hosted by top Philippine ventriloquist Ony Carcamo, will be on September 30, Tuesday.

    The Closing & Awards Night, hosted by Tim Yap and ended by a DJ set from Quark Henares, will be on October 4, Saturday.

    Parallel screenings in the cities of Bacolod , Dumaguete, and Iloilo will be held from September 24 to October 7.

    The 3rd .MOV International Digital Film Festival, headed by Festival Director Khavn De La Cruz, has six major sections consisting of foreign and local full-length and short films, tributes, workshops, film concerts, and afterparties.

    The motto for this year’s festival is “Blind The Eye Of The Storm” --- losing sight of the limits and controls that plague cinema, so that we can stare at our infinite possibilities as a culture.

DIGITAL DEKALOGO 10X10.MOV presents ten of the best foreign digital full-length films from the past 3 years.

“A Walk Into The Sea: Danny Williams And The Warhol Factory” by Esther B. Robinson (USA, 2007)
“Re-Defining Video” by Kyle Canterbury (USA, 2007)
“Days Of The Turquoise Sky” (Kurus) by Woo Ming Jin (Malaysia, 2008)
“Cinnamon” by Kevin Everson (USA, 2006)
“Head Trauma” by Lance Weiler (USA, 2007)
“En La Cama” by Matias Bize (Chile, 2005)
“Yo” by Rafa Cortes (Barcelona, 2007)
“La-bas” (Over There) by Chantal Akerman (France/Belgium, 2006)
“The Sun and Moon” by Stephen Dwoskin (USA/UK, 2008)
“A Prima Vista” by Michael Pilz (Austria, 2008)

     This will be presented by ten of the best local filmmakers who have pushed the boundaries of cinema in their own unique ways: Ato Bautista, Jeffrey Jeturian, Jim Libiran Auraeus Solito, Adolf Alix, Raya Martin, Sherad Anthony Sanchez, Ditsi Carolino, Manny Montelibano, & John Torres.

SHORTS.MOV features works from the two most prestigious short film festivals in the world: shortfilms from Clermont-Ferrand (France) and music videos from Oberhausen (Germany). The 3rd SILVERSHORTS Shortfilm Competition presents the new Philippine filmmakers to watch out for --- the twenty finalists from both the student and open divisions.

TRIBUTE.MOV premieres the new films and presents the early works of local digital indie heroes: Kidlat Tahimik, Roxlee, & Lav Diaz. Roxlee’s graphic novel “Planet Of The Noses”, Kidlat Tahimik’s DVD “Perfumed Nightmare”, and Lav Diaz’s soundtrack CD “Impiyerno” will also be launched.

WORKSHOP.MOV offers Rotterdam International Film Festival programmer Gertjan Zuilhof (“Celebrating the End of Cinema”), Slovenian film critic Nika Bohinc, Kidlat Tahimik (“Sariling Duende”), Roxlee (“Digital Animation”), and Lav Diaz (“Coffee Q&A”). The workshops will be complemented by equally inspiring facilitators such as Quark Henares, Tado Jimenez, Alexis Tioseco, Ramon Bautista, and Erwin Romulo.

FILMCONCERT.MOV screens Pinoy classics by Manuel Conde, Gerardo De Leon, Jose Climaco, and Carlos Vander Tolosa accompanied with new live soundtracks by Pedicab, Queso, The Brockas, & Radioactive Sago Project.

AFTERPARTY.MOV ends each night with a bang at the indie-place-to-be Cubao X, courtesy of music and entertainment from top notch events, media organizations and talent management groups.
