Strictly Confidential: Confessions of Men

January 21st, 2009

MSM? Men Having Sex With Men. This, according to the United Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), is the politically correct term for men who engage in sexual intercourse with other men:

The term “men who have sex with men” – frequently shortened to MSM – describes a behaviour rather than a specific group of people. It includes self-identified gay, bisexual, or heterosexual men, many of whom may not consider themselves gay or bisexual.

MSM are often married, particularly where discriminatory laws or social stigma of male sexual relations exist.

Are there any of these MSMs here in the Philippines? » Read more: Strictly Confidential: Confessions of Men

Joel Lamangan’s Walang Kawala (No Way Out)

October 9th, 2008

A fisherman, his sex-starved wife, the fisherman’s lover and then more. Walang Kawala (No Way Out) by acclaimed film director Joel Lamangan, explores the dynamics of a hetero-homo love affair that evolves from innocence to violent complications.

Joel Lamangan’s first indie film is a story about a fisherman named Joaquin (played by Polo Ravales) and his young, impulsive lover, Waldo (played by Joseph Bitangcol).  The typical formula of a gay affair gone bad and mad in local indie films may appear to be the central theme of this film, but the trailer promises more than just that.  Joaquin’s wife, Cynthia (played by newcomer Althea Vega) comes home from her overseas job with open arms and open legs — ready to conceive an offspring — inevatibly forcing Joaquin to confront his sexuality.

Disgusted and hurt over the recent turn of events, Waldo decides to flee and ends up entangled in the gay underworld of Manila. Waldo is caught in a twisted web of events as he gets involved in a dangerous flirtation with a bisexual cop named Rufo (played by Emilio Garcia). Joaquin finds out all about these and more after leaving his wife to search for Waldo. More twists and turns in the storyline lead Joaquin into Rufo’s house where he, like Waldo, eventually becomes prisoner and sex slave to Rufo. Joaquin and Waldo get reunited, but both discover that they are about to be sold to an international sex traffic ring. With the help of Rufo’s battered wife Beng (played by Jean Garcia), the two lovers plot their escape from Rufo’s house.

Will they be able to escape and live a good life together?  Or will this storyline end up tragically like other gay-themed indie films?

The Thank You Girls Premieres in Davao TODAY!

September 8th, 2008

In case you haven’t noticed yet,  I have been posting a lot about “The Thank You Girls!” lately, and this is all because I love it so much that I can define darkness now (after watching the premiere night two weeks ago). No, I am not paid to blog about the film, nor am I getting anything in return for posting about it.  I just love the film so much that I would want everyone in the world to watch it.  Besides,  this film was shot in Davao, my hometown, and the cast and director are my kababayans! 

The Thank You Girls!  will have its premiere night in Davao City tonight, September 8, 2008 at Gaisano Mall of Davao.  Tickets are pegged at P100.00 only!  So to all our friends in Davao, go na and maki-”Char Lang!”

Regular screening of The Thank You Girls! in Davao will be from September 10 (my birthday!) to September 16 at Gaisano Mall of Davao.  

Friends from Metro Manila will have the chance to catch this film beginning September 23 (Advance Screening) at Robinsons Galleria IndieSine.  Regular run in Metro Manila will be on September 24 to September 30.

Oh and yeah, did I mention that The Thank You Girls! will be screened at the Vancouver International Film Festival on September 25 to October 10? Details about the Dragons and Tigers Competition for emerging Asian directors are on Bebs Gohetia’s blog.
