(With due respect to this pages administrator(s), please allow me to post this announcement. Thank you!) FACINE/21 bestows its GINTONG ANI AWARD to Mr. Raymond Red, for his exemplary work as independent filmmaker, his persistence of vision and steadfast commitment to the growth and development of Filipino independent cinema. Long considered as one of the leading figures of the first surge of Philippine independent film, Mr. Red started making films in his teens with experimental, highly expressionist short films in both Super-8 and 16 mm films, in the 1980s; subsequently forayed into full-length historical features in the 1990s with BAYANI and SAKAY. In 2000, his short film, a social realist drama, ANINO/Shadows, was awarded the Camera Dor at the Cannes Film Festival, making it the first Filipino film given major film honors in a top-tier foreign film festival. Later, his full-length film, HIMPAPAWID/Manila Skies, had limited US release in 2012. His latest, KAMERA OBSKURA, won him Best Director at Cinemalaya festival - a film within a film, his homage to cinema in its purest, the silent film, may as well encapsulate his vision as compleat artist.
