Surely the sustained presence of the alternative space has become such a fixture of the contemporary art scene that it has become mainstream. This is the case in the Philippines.In a country where there is no public...

Khavn's "Rugby Boyz" wins @ Toronto Asian Filmfest
KHAVN'S "RUGBY BOYZ" WINS AT TORONTO ASIAN FILMFEST
Khavn's "Rugby Boyz" (Philippines) has just won in the
10th Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival
held last November 15-19, 2006. Khavn received the
Special Mention Award for Documentary, presented by
the National Film Board (NFB) of Canada. The jury was
composed of Cameron Bailey (writer, broadcaster and
film programmer), Ann Marie Fleming (filmmaker, writer
and artist), and Brenda Longfellow (filmmaker, writer
and film theorist).

of rugby football in the slums. Running, laughing and
tackling, these boys demonstrate that even in the most
desperate of conditions, youth will find the will to
live. Taking us through their day, the filmmaker
reveals more of their adventures. Watching them at the
karaoke bar and swimming hole, we can only begin to
realize the complexity of their situations.
The Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival is

work from the Asian diaspora. Works include films and
videos by East and Southeast Asian artist in Canada,
the U.S., Asia and all over the world. Reel Asian has
