The University of the Philippines Film Institute starts another school year with month-long screenings this June.
The film you musn't miss is the international award-winning digital feature by Mes de Guzman, Ang Daan Patungong Kalimugtong, recipient of Special Mention for Best New Director at the 2006 San Sebastian Film Festival. The late Lino Brocka competed in this same Festival for the top plum, Golden Seashell, with his 1982 classic Cain at Abel.
Other June screenings include Notes on a Scandal, pitting Judi Dench against Cate Blanchett; John Tucker Must Die topbilled by Desperate Housewives hunk Jesse Metcalf, and the British comedy phenomenon The History Boys.
More attractions for the month include a fresh take on gay-pride films and the soon-to-be-announced screenings for this year's French Spring filmfest.
