DAANGDOKYU.PH: Where Content Speaks Truth to Power

March 22, 2022

The internet has put a wealth of data, text, and images at our fingertips. It is also where a 15-second clip on TikTok can drastically alter opinions, or a meme posted on Facebook can be treated like a headline.

If the recent past has taught us anything, it’s that widespread access to the web can shift our political realities with dire consequences. We have witnessed this in the past decade, with the closure of broadcast networks and targeted attacks on the media. These are not only threats to press freedom, they erode our democratic institutions and rewrite our history - distorting the past to manipulate the future.

Amidst these distortions and manipulations, FilDocs and the Cultural Center of the Philippines are working together to launch DaangDokyu.ph - a dedicated virtual home on the web for Philippine documentaries.

Dokyu Base

The same domain that hosted the 2020 Daang Dokyu Film Festival continues to grow the ecosystem of truth-based narratives, by increasing access to credible information and education through Philippine documentaries.

DaangDokyu.ph aims to elevate the appreciation of documentaries by making them easier for viewers to find. Through a growing public database with detailed search functions, aided by tags and metadata, DaangDokyu.ph puts over a century’s worth of Philippine documentaries within quick reach.

Daangdokyu.ph also makes it more convenient for creators to share their work. The site features a submission tool, through which filmmakers can add their film to the database. Similar to other online movie databases, each film will have its own page, containing its creative and technical information, as well as promotional materials and downloads. Films that are already streaming on other platforms can feature their streaming links on their page, like free ad space.

Dokyu Mapping

“Documentaries can shed light on present issues and contemporary social conditions. But an underappreciated power of the documentary is its capacity to offer a way of approaching social memory. Films done more than 30 years ago, during and after the Marcos dictatorship, have been circulating on social media recently and are being used as reference to inform current debates surrounding the coming elections. 

When organized and presented systematically, documentaries, old and new, can become a staple material for social education. It is often claimed that Filipinos never learn from the past, or that Filipinos are forgetful. What is not said often enough is that remembering and looking back on the past are not simple. Our collective lessons and memory have to continuously be made accessible to the new generation. And documentaries are one powerful way of doing this.” wrote filmmaker and Project Director for DaangDokyu.ph, Jewel Maranan.

It was Maranan’s initiative to map the Philippine documentary landscape that forged the path for DaangDokyu.ph. After gathering over 1,500 titles, launching the online database is the next step in this difficult process of looking back. With the database available for the viewers to explore and for creators to expand, DaangDokyu.ph offers a way of looking back and learning collectively.

Dokyu Power

On top of providing access to a wealth of information about Filipino documentaries, DaangDokyu.ph also co-hosts special programs with partner organizations who are on the same mission against misinformation.

Until April 9, the online festival Dokyu Power (The Power of Documentary), will be streaming some of the most powerful documentaries from around the world to encourage meaningful and informed political discourse on the power of people’s unity and social action. 

Presented by FilDocs (the team that organized the 2020 Daang Dokyu Festival) and DAKILA, and supported by Purin Pictures, Active Vista, MOOV Cinema Centenario, and Move.PH, Dokyu Power is streaming for FREE until April 9 through the Cinema Centenario site: https://cinemacentenario.com/

REP Brings Christmas Theater Magic to Homes with The Great Christmas Cookie Bake-Off!

November 4, 2021

Repertory Philippines (REP) is back and determined to make this year’s Christmas merrier and brighter by bringing holiday cheer to every home with "The Great Christmas Cookie Bake-off!", which marks many firsts. It is the first REP Theatre for Young Audiences (RTYA) offering in over a year. It is also the first-ever Filipino production to be available on streaming platform Broadway On Demand. This also makes the musical the first in the country that is purposely filmed for an international online streaming service.

Screening from November 12 to December 12, 2021, "The Great Christmas Cookie Bake-off!" combines the time-honored tradition of Christmas cookies with the ever-popular phenomenon of reality baking competitions. It features eight young cookie chefs from all over the country who will battle it out for first prize at the Cookie Coliseum. As the chefs are eliminated one by one by three distinguished celebrity judges, feelings of intense (and sweet!) rivalry give way to virtues of charity, family, and forgiveness. 

Rick Hip-Flores

The music, book and lyrics of "The Great Christmas Cookie Bake-off!" was by Broadway-based American composer, lyricist and musical supervisor Rick Hip-Flores, the musical director of "Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812", and music supervisor of "In Transit", Broadway’s first a-cappella musical. For this local adaptation, there had been changes in the names of characters and places to give a more Filipino flavor.

Created with the streaming audiences in mind, The Great Christmas Cookie Bake-off! is directed for the stage by veteran RTYA Creative Director Joy Virata, with sets by Ed Lacson, lights by John Batalla, costumes by Bonsai Cielo, and choreography by Deana Aquino.  After a month of Zoom rehearsals, the final video was shot by movie director Treb Monteras and his Silver Media crew on the final day of a 4-day bubble period at Rep's home stage at OnStage Theater in Greenbelt 1.

The musical’s cast consists of brilliant talents in the industry. Playing the eight kid chefs are: Becca Coates (as Patty), Tim Pavino (as Javi), Jep Go (as Gabe), Jillian Ita-as (as Ana), Luigi Quesada (as Julian), Rachel Coates (as Samantha), Justine Narciso (as Amy), and Steven Hotchkiss (as Josh). Playing the judges are: Carla Guevara Laforteza (as Isabel Guevara), Jamie Wilson (as Del Ray), and Arnel Carrion (as Michael Holmes). Rounding up the list is Hans Eckstein (as host Larry).

The cast (from top row left going clockwise): Jill Ita-as, Jep Go, Becca Coates, Luigi Quesada,

Because of the pandemic restrictions especially for children, who are the primary target audience of this show, "The Great Christmas Cookie Bake-off!" will be streamed online through REP’s innovative and first-in-the-Philippines partnership with Broadway On Demand, a virtual performing arts complex that offers exclusive livestream events, educational and interactive content, and a wide-ranging library of video on demand content including Broadway shows, movie musicals, performances from individual artists, concert series, and content from performance venues and theaters around the world. 

Ticket prices are P700 (Regular) and P1,000 (Family) available directed from Broadway on Demand (LINK), or from local outlets Ticketworld (LINK) and Ticket2Me (LINK). Each ticket gives 24-hour access (for Regular) or 48-hour access (for Family) to the musical, which can be accessed via computer or mobile device through a web browser or via tablet or smartphone through the Broadway On Demand app on App Store and Google Play. Broadway On Demand is also available on AppleTV and Roku.

DIZI-IT FOREVER! The drama and romance continue with “Endless Love Season 2” on ETC Channel

June 13, 2021

Good news for the lovers of dizi (or Turkish drama series) in the Philippines! ETC Channel unveils the second season of the hit Turkish drama series “Endless Love” beginning June 14, Monday. 

“Endless Love,” or “Kara Sevda” in its home country, is a popular and award-winning dizi starring Turkish heartthrob Burak Özçivit and prominent Turkish actress Neslihan Atagül as lovers Kemal and Nihan who come from different social backgrounds. The poor boy and rich girl go through very difficult challenges imposed by their situations and families, forcing Nihan to sacrifice her love in order to keep a family secret from being revealed.

In 2020, ETC made a bold move to offer more local content in their mostly English program lineup, first by airing Filipino movies and then by presentingTurkish series dubbed in Tagalog by way of the  ETCerye primetime block. The first two dizi to air on the block were “Everywhere I Go” and “Endless Love Season 1.” 

The audience response was unprecedented as the Tagalized Turkish dramas gained high ratings, especially for “Endless Love.” According to Kantar Media, 114 of the 115 episodes of “Endless Love Season 1”primetime telecast garnered triple-digit ratings; 21 episodes recorded 400+ points, seven got 500+ points while two episodes: Episode 68 and Episode 114 obtained 664.24 points and 608.43 points, respectively. The Season 1 finale week of March 22 to March 26 became the second-highest rating week with 455.87 points. Thus, “Endless Love Season 1” is officially the highest-rated series in ETC’s 17-year history. 

Season 2 promises to be more compelling. Nihan leaves Kemal who gets imprisoned due to a shooting incident. When Kemal finishes his prison term, his relationship with Nihan becomes strained even hateful. Meanwhile, Emir, the wealthy and powerful man Nihan married out of family pressure, still wants Nihan for himself and Kemal out of the picture for good. Hostility between Emir and Kemal reach an all-time high and Nihan’s presence precariously swings the balance between both sides. More secrets unravel and true intentions and allegiances are uncovered.

“Just like the title of the highest-rated series in ETC’s history, our commitment to our viewers is an ‘Endless Love,’” said Mr. Wilson Tieng, CEO of ETC’s parent company Solar Entertainment. “We thank the audience for their support. In the midst of the changing times, we assure our viewers can that ETC will continue to offer shows and movies that make them feel good and inspired.”

The three-episode premiere of “Endless Love Season 2” is on June 13, Sunday at 7-10 pm, regular airing from Monday to Friday at 8 pm beginning June 14; replays at 1 pm on weekdays, and catch-up marathons every Sunday at 1 pm. 

ETC is seen on SkyCable Ch.16, Cignal Ch. 21, CableLink Ch. 34, DTT Ch. 21 in Metro Manila, and in over 200 cable operators nationwide.

MS. JOSCEPHINE GOMEZ: THE VOICE OF LOVE: My Personal Perspective

February 26, 2019

With her signature eye patch, soprano Joscephine Gomez is one of our country's better known singers of opera and kundiman. This Saturday, March 2, 2019, she has decided to stage a solo show which will deviate from her usual classical repertoire to sing more popular music in a show she calls "The Voice of Love" to be held at the Quezon Hall of the Orchid Garden Suites in Manila.

This concert will feature Ms. Gomez singing OPM (like "Ikaw" and "Sana'y Isang Saglit"), jazz standards (like "Autumn Leaves" and "No Other Love"), Broadway/West End songs (like "Think of Me" from "Phantom of the Opera" and "Memory" from "Cats"), as well as movie theme songs (like "Se" from "Cinema Paradiso" and "Il Mio Cuore Va" from "Titanic"). She will also be singing popular European classics like "La Vie en Rose," "Eres Tu" and "Historia de un Amor." 

Ms. Gomez had invited some guests to sing with her on this show. Mezzo-soprano Maricris Joaquin-Wertz, a frequent collaborator with Ms. Gomez, will have featured solos and duets, as well as her Belgian husband, singer Jean Marc Wertz. I was surprised to learn that one of my mentors in the field of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Gil M. Vicente, whom I had never really heard sing formally in public before, will also be rendering a couple of solos. He is one of Ms. Gomez's closest friends, and was the one who introduced her to me. There will still be other surprise guests, whose names are not on the poster.

Me, I am an ENT surgeon by profession, but for some reason, Ms. Gomez beleived that I had enough singing talent in my raw, limited baritone voice to share the stage with a classically-trained singer like her. It was way back in September 2012 when Ms. Gomez first invited me to sing with her and Ms. Joaquin in an intimate concert held in the Doctors Lounge in St. Luke's Medical Center, Quezon City. I am not sure in what occasion she had heard me sing before that, but she extended the invitation, and I hesitatingly accepted. 

Now, seven long years later, I accepted again, even if I had not sung in public for very long. I will be singing two Josh Groban songs that I had never sung for an audience before. Being older now, memorizing lyrics is not exactly getting easier. With busier, more hectic schedules in the clinic and hospital, on top of family obligations, rehearsal time with Ms. Gomez (who generously gave performance tips) and the pianists is also very limited. 

To keep my voice in at least good condition, I had to practice everything I had been advising to my patients as a specialist in vocal health -- no abusive voice behaviors, keep hydrated, no sweet, spicy nor acidic food and drinks, observe precautions against respiratory tract infections. These things are all easier said than done, but I knew I needed to strictly obey my own advice, well at least until this concert is done. This renews my awe for the sacrifice and discipline professional singers endure for the sake of their precious vocal instrument. 

With the more elaborate concept Ms. Gomez had for this new show -- with two top-notch in-demand pianists (Prof. Jun Cadiz and Barry Dampor), a narrator (actor Dr. Philip Tan-Gatue), a lighting designer (Joseph Matheu) and a stage director (renowned director Joey Nombres) -- this is a very far cry from that first simple concert I had with her in 2012. This promises to be a bigger and more serious show than anything I had sung in before.

Just looking at that poster, with my name so prominently billed on it, is already giving me butterflies in my stomach as early as now. As the days count down to March 2, less than five days away, the pressure further mounts for me to perform my best, as I continue to pray for fortitude, confidence and divine guidance as I embark on this formidable challenge for me as an amateur singer. 


**********


THE VOICE OF LOVE will be held on March 2, 2019 at the Quezon Hall of the Orchid Garden Suites on Vito Cruz St., Malate, Manila. This is beside Fo Guang Shan Temple and across Century Park Hotel.  Ms Gomez's gown is by Jan Garcia. Ramon David Miroy designed a special eyepiece combined with an earpiece. Sponsors are YAMAHA and Parańaque Ngayon. You may text 0923-5880327 for inquiries and to order/ reserve tickets.

THE UNIQUE CINEMATIC ART OF "LOVING VINCENT"

November 2, 2017

Self Portrait

No other artist has attracted more legends than Vincent van Gogh. Variously labeled a martyr, a lustful satyr, a madman, a genius and a lay about, the real Vincent is at once revealed in his letters, and obscured by myth and time. Van Gogh himself said in his last letters, “We cannot speak other than by our paintings”. We take him at his word and let the paintings tell the real story of a great visual artist.

In producing the cinema art, “Loving Vincent”, every one of the 65,00 frames of the film is an oil-painting hand-painted by 123 professional oil painters who travelled from all across the world to the Loving Vicent Studios in Poland and Greece to be part of the production. As remarkable as Vincent’s brilliant paintings, is his passionate and ill-fated life, and mysterious death.

Dock

”Loving Vincent” was first shot as a live action film with actors, and then hand-painted over frame-by-frame in oils. The final effect is an interaction of the performance of the actors playing the artist’s famous portraits, and the performance of the painting animators, bringing these characters into the medium of paint.

Van Gogh’s paintings come in different shapes and sizes, so the design painters had to work out how to best show these paintings within the frame set by the cinema screen. This required breaking outside the frames of Van Gogh’s paintings, while still retaining the feel and inspiration of the artist’s originals. They also had to work out how to deal with ‘invasions’, where a character painted in one style, comes into another Van Gogh’s painting with different style.  Moreover, for the purpose of the story, sometimes change daytime paintings into night time paintings, or paintings which were done in Autumn or Winter, had to be re-imagine for summer when the journey of the film takes place.

Sunset

The Character Design Painters specialized in re-imagining the actors as their famous portraits, so they would retain their own features and at the same time recognizably take on the look and feeling of their character in painting form. They were 377 paintings painted during the Design Painting process.

The painting animators then use the reference footage, and paint over this with reference to the style (brushstrokes, colors, impasto) set by the Design Paintings to paint the first frame of their shot on canvas, sized 67 cm by 49 cm. Then they animate the shot by re-painting, matching the brushstrokes, color and impasto of their previous frame, for all parts of the shot that are moving. At the end, they are left with a painting of the last frame of the shot. Each frame is recorder with a Canon D20 digital stills camera at 6k resolution. So the audience will be seeing 65,000 high resolution photographs of actual paintings.

Starry Night

LOVING VINCENT will mesmerize audiences this November, exclusively distributed by Solar Pictures. For more details, visit @solarpicturesPH on facebook, twitter and Instagram. (Press Release)
