Philippine Short Film Entitled ‘Babylon’ Bags Awards In Brazil
The Philippine short film entitled ‘Babylon’ has bagged at least two awards an international film festival in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil.
Last February 2018, Keith Deligero’s short film “Babylon” competed at the Berlinale and now bagged at least two awards from Brazil.
The Filipino film earned the votes from both the official jury and the youth jury in the short film section of the fourth Fronteira International Documentary and Experimental Film Festival.
An official jury stated that Deligero’s film has a surprising and surreal approach, which can be rarely seen in the experimental scene.
The youth jurors also said that the Filipino film exposes the dirtiest side of dictatorial regimes and lauded it for denouncing the moralistic and authoritarian policies.
Deligero’s film does not only proposes the reflection on how the people, but also awaken a real desire for rebellion, according to the members of the youth jurors.
Keith Deligero said that he put at least minimum effort in making the film but it was funniest for him and hoping that more people could watch it.
“I hope my film’s win in Brazil will convince more people to attend the screenings. I also hope that those who have decided to skip the event will change their minds,” Deligero said quoted by Inquirer.
