Manila Gay Guy

UP Film Institute screens for a week-long full run Joven Tan’s Paupahan and Patrick McGuinn’s Sun Kissed beginning this Monday, 6 October 2008.

Produced by ATD Entertainment of star Allen Dizon, Paupahan is one of the recent films from one of the few truly active auteurs of current cinema in the country. Photographed by “National Artist material” Romy Vitug and written by Dennis Evangelista, the dramatic film (Graded B by the Cinema Evaluation Board) interweaves three unrelated plots involving inhabitants of a slum area next to a cemetery. With Allen in the powerhouse cast are movie queen Gloria Romero, German “Kuya Germs” Moreno, Jay Manalo, Snooky Serna, Angelu de Leon, Krista Ranillo, Joseph Bitangcol, Kirby de Jesus.

Sun Kissed (A Daven Productions Release) is the intriguing gay indie hit from the United States. It made the rounds of the international fest circuit: Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival; Inside Out Film Festival-Toronto; Newfest Film Festival-New York; San Francisco Frameline Film Festival; Outfest Film Festival-Los Angeles among others. It tells the tale of a young writer completing his first novel in an isolated desert house where he is seduced by the mysterious caretaker. On show is the guaranteed full version of the film—unrated and uncut.

Here’s the schedule of screenings at UP Diliman’s Videotheque.
