(With due respect to this page administrator(s), please allow me to make this announcement. Thank you.) Mes de Guzmans ANG KWENTO NI MABUTI/Mabutis story (tv5/Cinelarga/Unitel/Sampaybakod, 110 min, Philippines. In Ilokano with English subtitles) is a MUST-SEE at FACINE/21 for different reasons: 1. Not only because it has the Philippine Superstar Nora Aunor in the lead as Mabuti, the medicine woman who lives a simple, but difficult life in the mountains of Nueva Vizcaya taking care of her ailing mother and three young grandchildren, but that it marks the first time where Nora Aunor gets to speak in a language other than her own native language, Bikol and the countrys lingua franca, Tagalog, a feat not seen in other major stars, of late. 2. A Mes de Guzman film is always an event of consequence to cineastes, given his consistent work that deals with lives of small folks in his province of Nueva Vizcaya, making him a true regional filmmaker, that gives light to the culture of the place. (Past films include the award-winning ANG DAAN PATUNGONG KALIMUGTONG/The road to Kalimugtong and DIABLO.) FACINE/21: the 21st annual Filipino international cine festival runs December 11-13 at the Roxie Theater - 3117-16th Street, San Francisco. ANG KWENTO NI MABUTI will be shown on Friday, December 12 at 7 pm.
