'TINGIN' offers a glimpse of Southeast Asian folklore and cinema
As we celebrate the founding anniversary of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) this August, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), through Sentro Rizal, presents the 7th TINGIN Southeast Asian Film Festival, showcasing a remarkable lineup of films from August 17 to 18 at the Red Carpet Cinemas, Shangri-La Plaza Mall. Admissions are free.
Prepared to captivate audiences with the theme “Enchantments for a Fragile World,” the festival reimagines Southeast Asian folklore, which uses mythical creatures and legends to convey lessons and serve as vital models of instruction in ancient societies in the absence of a separate philosophical system of inquiry. From dragons that bring rain to mythical guardians protecting humanity, the 7th TINGIN Southeast Asian Film Festival offers a glimpse into the magical stories of the region.
The two-day film festival features 10 selected films representing each ASEAN country. On August 17, five films will be screened, accompanied by an opening program in the evening. These include Golden Dragon directed by Boren Chhith (Cambodia); Once Upon a Time, There Was a Mom by Lin Htet Aung (Myanmar); Worship by Uruphong Raksasad (Thailand); Snow in Midsummer by Chong Keat Aun (Malaysia); and The Long Walk by Mattie Do (Laos).
The second day will showcase Part of Me by Hazrul Aizan (Brunei); Of Other Tomorrows Never Known by Natasha Tontey (Indonesia); Memoryland by Kim Quy Bui (Viet Nam); Dreaming and Dying directed by Nelson Yeo (Singapore); and In My Mother’s Skin directed by Kenneth Dagatan (Philippines). On the evening of the second day, a closing program will conclude the festival.
