Dibu[h]o Art Exhibit Opens March 13

The UP Film Institute, in cooperation with Kyusoku Bihaku, celebrates the International Women’s Day with an exhibit entitled DIBU[H]O. The exhibit opens on March 13, 2009, Friday, 7:00 PM at the Ishmael Bernal Gallery.

Without a critical look at women and their historical struggles, celebrating Women’s Month risks becoming an empty gesture—a false resistance accommodated by a patriarchal society. The artists behind Dibu[h]o assert an analytical stance and propose a re-examination of the woman in society by means of investigating a variety of different concerns. Using an array of methods and materials, the exhibition tackles issues including the woman as social agent, as ideological subject, the woman as commodity, the woman at home, and the woman as a lover of women.

The UP Film Institute is the first and only Philippine School accredited by CILECT: International Association of Film and Television Schools since 1984. UPFI combines instruction with creative work, research and publication. UPFI graduates achieve proficiency in technical, creative, substantive and ethical filmmaking as well as holistic consciousness.

Alam Mo Ba Ang Cellphone # Ko?

I lost my cell the other week. Syempre kasama pati 'yung SIM [alangan namang balikan pa 'ko nu'ng mandurukot para lang iabot 'yung SIM: =affecting Camille Pratts's Ang TV-accent= "Esmyuski! Eto nga ho pala 'tong SIM n'yo. Baka 'di n'yo pa naba-backup 'yung contacts n'yo." Surreal naman 'pag ganu'n].

Anyway, right now, I'm trying my best to re-build 'yung mga nawalang relationship, friendship at phone book. If we haven't been in touch in the last couple of weeks, or kung nagte-text kayo at 'di ako nagre-reply, it only means na 'di ko na wala na akong means para kontakin kayo.

So, [at dito na sasabihin ng bida 'yung title ng pelikula] alam mo ba ang cellphone # ko? Paki-text na lang ako sa dati ko pa ring number para ma-include ko aking new & improved, industrial strength phonebook.

Syempre, don't forget to include your name, signature at 3 tansan ng kahit anong Silver Swan products para maging lucky home partner.

'Yun lang at maraming salamat.
