Katorse Shorts
Pardon my readers, but I am a fan of my sister (of course!) and I try to showcase and promote her work as much as I can. For those who are into independent short films, you will surely love what Katorse Writer’s Group (a group my sister belongs to) has come up with.
** press release from Katorse Shorts
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.
Katorseshorts 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
Walong Linggo by Anna Isabelle MatutinaFor more info: email a_isabelle78 at yahoo dot com

The shorts will run as one program on a regular screening, meaning, instead of seeing just 1 full-length film at Indie Sine, there will be 7 shorts. Regular screening times would apply, except for June 11, which is the opening night and the screening will only be at 7pm. After that, you can catch the films anytime until June 17.:)
can we watch these on youtube?
paolo - These are not on youtube however you can find the some of my sister’s trailers there.
