7th Cinemalaya: A New Found Experience


We were all so hyped up for the upcoming Cinemalaya and at long last, the wait was over. We were all present to witness the Opening of Cinemalaya 2011! :) I asked my mom to come with me together with my friends; Michaela Berenguer and Tiffany De Jesus. We were anticipating the Cultural Center of the Philippines to be star-studded and as expected we saw a lot of stars who were also there to watch the opening. We got a lot more keyed up to see new faces, see colorful art displays and eyewitness the grand opening. :)

Although it was very unfortunate that we weren’t able to sit infront of the stage and have comfortable seats, we were still in high spirits and glad to be a part of the opening of Cinemalaya..Laurice Guillen’s MASKARA opens Cinemalaya 2011. The cast of Maskara is led by Tirso Cruz III, Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino and Ina Feleo. I’m really a big fan of Laurice Guillen’s works and I was so glad to watch Maskara.

For me, Laurice Guillen has yet made another masterpiece with this movie. After the Opening ceremony, I thought to myself that Filipino films have a great opportunity and a huge edge to compete among different movies. It was really a fulfilling and a new experience for me. I would definitely watch again next year. :)
