The Brockas band, composed of filmmakers Khavn dela Cruz, Roxlee and Lav Diaz, had a “jam-packed” concert at the Burning Tent in Jihlava, Czech Republic recently. The band did a “live scoring” of Dela Cruz’s silent film “Pink Bomba Manifesto.”
“‘Overdosed Nightmare’ is one of those films that got lost in the shuffle. After screening at Cinemalaya in 2008, it hasn’t been shown elsewhere in the world, even if it stars Marvin Agustin and even if it was one of the five films in my French-released Bluray box set,” Dela Cruz said. “It’s great that Jihlava programmers Andrea Slovakova, Adriana Belesova and Petr Kubica ‘rediscovered’ it and included it in the festival’s Philippine Retrospective.
He was also head juror at the 2022 SeaShorts Film Festival in Selangor, Malaysia held last September. “As head juror, it’s not about dictating or dominating the conversation. You ensure that the opinion of the other jury members is respected and represented; as well as how to judge without being judgmental; how to judge using your gut, which is more intelligent than your brain; and how to compare apples and oranges, rambutan and durian,” Dela Cruz pointed out.
“I remember one of our high school teachers who [decides our] grades using a dartboard. Judging is highly subjective. [It] depends on the composition of the jury and the biases of each judge, plus other viewing factors: time of day, caffeine level, etc. One thing is clear: that Southeast Asian short filmmaking is alive and kicking. The future of cinema is blinding,” said the filmmaker when asked what he has learned from his most recent jury duty.
