Powerful. Unique. Majestic. These are perhaps the three best words to describe Mindanao the movie’s float, which are the same words one can use to describe the film and certainly, the people of Mindanao, and the many Filipino heroes the film is paying tribute to.

Brillante Mendoza’s ‘Mindanao’ in 25th Kolkata International Film Festival
Perhaps I was one of the very few Filipinos who were able to watch the film Mindanao at the 25th Kolkata International Film Festival, and although there were surprising hassles in our plane travel and it’s true that the kind locals do drive like they are in a competition, watching the film Mindanao directed byContinue reading “Brillante Mendoza’s ‘Mindanao’ in 25th Kolkata International Film Festival”
