After organizing "Damit Para Kay Ploning" and "Plato Para Kay
Ploning," the producers of the period film are now busy organizing "Laro Para Kay
Ploning."
A poker tournament is slated to take place on January 13 to raise funds for the Oscars bid of the Philippine movie starring Judy Ann Santos. Ploning, produced by Panoramanila Pictures Co., is the country's entry to the Foreign Language category of the 81st Academy Awards.
"Laro Para Kay Ploning" will take place at the Metrocard room at Metrowalk,
Ortigas Center. For details, contact Niña at 09153280307.
Come January 22, the whole world will know whether or not the film will be
included in the list of five Oscar nominees that will be read during the awards
night in February. The U.S. Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will
announce the official nominees on January 22 at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn
Theater.
By January 28, the 6,000 Academy members will vote for the films that they wish to include in this year's edition of the annual Academy Awards. If the Philippine entry Ploning enters the prestigious list, it will mark a first-ever feat in local cinema.
The 81st Academy Awards telecast will take place on February 22 with X-Men Origins: Wolverine star Hugh Jackman serving as the host. The star-studded event will be held at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood & Highland Center.
Judy Ann is scheduled to leave on January 11 to attend the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Considered to be a pre-Oscars event, the filmfest will run from January 8-19 at Palm Springs, California. The 20th Palm Springs IFF boasts 209 films culled from 73 countries. Fifty of the 67 films submitted for consideration in the Best Foreign Language Film category for the Academy Awards will be screened at this year's PSIFF.
Juday will be there for two weeks to lobby for her movie, which is about a young woman from Cuyo, Palawan. Her character named Ploning is an "old maid" by rural standards but she refuses to marry. She is intent on waiting for the return of her lover who left for Manila many years ago. During the town fiesta, her secret is revealed—a fact that demonstrates her selfless love and sacrifice.
Ploning will be screened in California on January 12 (10:00 a.m.) and on January 13 (6:30 p.m.).
good luck to juday and to the movie!
filipinos should just be proud na may na-consider na philippine made movie regardless of the stars nor producers. its one forward step for the industry which entertains us.
so i guess, kung talagang maganda ang pelikula, mapapansin yan. pangalawa na lang ang suporta ng movie industry.
masuerte si Judy Ann dahil naglobby pa siya. yun nga lang sa point of view ko, ang daming mas magandang pelikulang tagalog ang nagawa na kesa sa Ploning.
ito ang pelikulang nanalo ng Best Foreign Language Film sa Palms Springs. if i'm not mistaken, pumasok sa Top Ten ang pelikula sa Oscars Best Foreign Language Film.
hahaha
wah na lang comment at baka masabihan pang talangka.
let's just support the movie, at wala kayong pwedeng itulong, manahimik na lang.
ang kahirapan ay nandiyan na kahit nung panahon hindi pa dumadalaw ang Mesiyas sa daigdig. Gobyerno ang may tungkulin na sugpuin ang kahirapan, kaya nga tinawag na government o pamahalaan, siya ang mamamahala ng kapakanan ng buong bayan, kaya nga tinawag na 'public servant' kuno diba? -At syempre sa tulong na rin ng mga may katawan.
Kung hindi ba isasali ang ploning sa Oscars eh mawawala na ang kahirapan sa Pilipinas?
Daming OA dito! mga talangka!
