Brillante Mendoza pays
tribute to Yolanda survivors with his new film, ‘Taklub’ The director said “Taklub” is “basically, the story of survivors in
the aftermath of typhoon Yolanda, how they survived, how they picked up almost
one year after the storm.”
He is set to visit SM City San Pablo and he
will facilitate a film appreciation workshop for his movie taklub by the end of
August. Headlined by Superstar Nora Aunor, the star of Mendoza’s internationally
acclaimed “Thy Womb”, the film also stars Julio Diaz, Lou Veloso, Ruby Ruiz and
Soliman Cruz. For Mendoza and his cast and crew, the film is “a loving tribute
to the survivors.”
“Before
we started filming ‘Taklub’ in Tacloban, I told my cast and crew that we are
going there not just to make a movie but also to pay our respects to the
survivors. Gusto naming makiramay sa mga namatayan, sa mga nawalan ng pamilya,
sa mga nawalan ng bahay at mga nawalan ng pamumuhay,” he noted.
In
deciding to make a film about Yolanda survivors, Mendoza said he wants to share
with viewers what it’s really like to be among those who lost almost everything
and everyone they hold dear after one of the most devastating disasters in
recent history.
“Most of
us kasi are outsiders to what happened. Many of us have not been or have never
been to Tacloban before and after Yolanda. So we’ve only seen and heard what
happened in the news. Iba pa rin yung point of view nung mga tunay na
naka-experience nitong bagyong ito. Paano ba binubuo ng mga survivors ang buhay
nila months after what happened? That’s what I hope to share in this film,” he
pointed out.
“For
sure, the film will be seen by Filipino audiences,”assured Mendoza. Get the
chance to meet and greet the reknowed Director this coming August 29-30,2016 in
SM City San Pablo and be part of the launch of the Brilante Mendoza Film Festival.
