---------

The film fest officially opens today but most of the screenings are for the press and the jury. There will be movie tickets that are open to public but limited only. Will probably catch the next day's screenings.

I've researched a little about the film entries and found some really nice flicks to watch out for:

1. The Housemaid --- > it's a remake, it's an erotic thriller, and a contender in last year's Cannes Film Festival.
2. Happyland ---> looking forward to see this, mag-world premier siya this Sunday! same director who gave us Tribu (humakot ng sangkaterbang awards during the Cinemalaya2007)
3. The Piano in a Factory ---> both sad and beautiful... about a father wanting to give his daughter a piano to get her custody.
4. Easter Plays ---> Bulgarian entry, reviews are good. One review even said, it's probably the best Bulgarian film in a decade. Now i had to see this. I rarely see a Bulgarian film.
5. Secret Sunshine ---> I (just) love Korean films, this one has a rather enticing plot.
