Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival

I'm excited about my recent discovery of the Cinemalaya Film Festival.  It's a non-governmental organization that provides financial grants to independent film directors and showcases their films at the Philippine Cultural Center every July.  This year there are three films I want to see from the Festival.  Which of these films do you want to see? Provide your comments and remarks after viewing the trailers below!:

Ang Katiwala by Aloy Adlawan

In this movie Ruben, a carpenter, finds a new job as a care taker for a grand home once occupied by a historically significant deceased Filipino President. Knowing little about this former historical figure, Ruben becomes fascinated as he reads up and learns more about him.  The night-shift security guard of the compound jokes that Ruben is slowly being possessed by the deceased owner.  Here's a clip from the film:

Ang Nawawala by Marietta Jamora

Columbia Univeristy trained Marietta Jamora debutes her first feature film.  It's about 20 year-old Gibson Bonifacio who comes home to the Philippines for the holidays and reconsiders and redefines his relationships back home. I'm really excited to see this one (The music soundtrack is excellent):

The Animals by Gino Santos

It's a film about growing up in a wealthy Filipino upper class family. Don't know much about the film, but it sure does look like how upper class kids act in the Philippines!
