BRILLIANTE MENDOZA - The First Filipino to win BEST DIRECTOR @ Cannes
« on: May 25, 2009, 04:57:03 pm »
Historic triumph

Filipino filmmaker Mel Chionglo told the Inquirer: “It’s a first for Philippine movies. Dante has triumphed where even the great Lino Brocka had failed to win a prize. Now, Dante has really flung open the doors for Filipino films internationally.”

Chionglo added that his colleagues in the Directors’ Guild of the Philippines Inc., of which Mendoza is also a board member, are “mighty proud of this historic triumph.”

Raymond Red’s film “Anino” won the Palme D’Or for Short Film in 2000, but it’s the first time for the country to win in the Cannes’ Main Competition. “It’s the first major award from one of the top three festivals in the world: Cannes, Berlin and Venice,” Chionglo said Monday.

Brocka, the first Filipino to be exhibited and to compete in Cannes in the 1970s, never won in the festival, but is largely credited for paving the way for today’s generation of Filipino filmmakers, he related.

may isang kwarto si direk dante sa centerstage(pag-aari nya) na punung-puno ng awards,

pero talbog lahat yun sa award na ito.

at isa na ko sa nagulat nung manalo sya kasi bigatin ang mga direktor na nakalaban nya.

galing ng pilipino!

Congratulations Direk Brillante... Truly a first and huge step for the  Filmmaking industry. Among the nominees of the same category are Quentin Tarantino and Ang Lee. Kudos sa lahing Pilipino! toast:: toast::
