For too long, short films have remained the forgotten art
form; a consistently underrated medium that has never been
given the exposure it demands. Even with the emerging
popularity of independent films in the Philippines, short
films are still seen as "front acts" for
full-length features or "sidebars" at local film
festivals.
The Katorse Writers' Group, a group of young
writer-filmmakers who were part of Ricky Lee's 14th
Scriptwriting Workshop, addresses this problem by coming up
with a full program of short films to be screened at
Robinson's Galleria Indie Sine.
On June 11-17, KATORSE SHORTS will showcase 7 short films
with themes ranging from the romantic to the absurd to the
tragic - a program that is meant to bring to the
consciousness of Filipino audiences the short film as a
form that can hold its own.
Katorse shorts line-up:
Ang Kapalaran ni Virgin Mario by Ogi Sugatan
Ambulancia by Richard Legaspi
Manyika by John Wong
Puwang by Anna Isabelle Matutina
Dead Letter by Grace Orbon
Lababo by Seymour Barros Sanchez
