'Cine Totoo' documentaries to be screened in theaters on September 24 to 30
Documentaries "Walang Rape sa Bontok;" "Mananayaw;" and "Ang Gitaristang Hindi Marunong Mag-skala"
GMA News TV launches the inaugural edition of "CINE
TOTOO: Philippine International Documentary Film Festival" in theaters
this September 24 to 30. Audiences will be treated to an impressive line-up of
documentaries, produced by 11 independent filmmakers from all over the country.
Carla Ocampo’s documentary “Walang Rape sa Bontok” tackles
the story of two Filipinas who were both victims of sexual abuse as they search
for a utopia where women can live without being sexually violated.
Rafael Froilan’s “Mananayaw” documents the remarkable
perseverance and passion of this generation of Filipino male ballet dancers as
they take the center stage.
In “Gitaristang Hindi Marunong Mag-skala,” Sigfried Barros-Sanchez tells the story of Nitoy Adriano–former lead guitarist of The Jerks and probably one of the most underrated yet talented lead guitarists in the Philippines.

Pulang Maleta” is an experimental documentary that showcases the remarkable
stories of inspiration in a close-knit Filipino community in the town of
Biella, Italy.
In “Gusto Nang Umuwi ni Joy,” Jan Tristan Pandy presents an intimate look into the life of an undocumented Filipina in the UK as she tries to secure legal status so she can finally return home to visit her family.
Ferdinand Balanag’s “Agbalbalitok” tells the harrowing tale of ordinary Filipinos working in a perilous, rundown small scale gold mine in Benguet.

"A Trip to Haifa;" "Kung Giunsa Pagbuhat ang Bisayang Chopsuey" and "Migkahi E Si Amey Te, ‘Uli Ki Pad"
“A Trip to Haifa” is a personal documentary that follows
openly gay filmmaker Nawruz Paguidopon as he joins his family on a journey to
Haifa, Israel for a conservative religious pilgrimage.

Nef Luczon’s “Migkahi E Si Amey Te, ‘Uli Ki Pad’” shows how
a tribal community in Bukidnon addresses the issue of succession after the
death of their chieftain.
"Marciano" and "Komikero Chronicles"
In “Marciano”, Ivy Universe Baldoza builds a compelling
portrait of a gay OFW who lived in Paris for 25 years and died there alone. The
narrative is built around found stories of relatives, acquaintances and even
strangers – and everything that happened in Marciano’s life is soon forged together
by collective memory.
Keith Sicat’s “Komikero Chronicles” charts the evolution of
the art of Filipino komiks, and showcases how this art form that was once
belittled and taken for granted has given Filipinos of all ages a legacy they
can be proud of.
“We are excited to share the films of this talented batch of filmmakers. They each offer a unique and interesting insight into the contemporary Filipino experience,” says CINE TOTOO Festival Director Joseph Israel Laban.
The 11 documentaries will be screened in competition from September 24 – September 30 in SM Megamall, SM Manila, and Trinoma Cinemas. See screening schedule below.
