 2020 - Enjoying working with San Diego Filipino Cinema, Film makers Benito Bautista and Emma Francisco on an exhibition and film/performance events in November of 2020 at the Bonita Museum.  We received a California Humanities grant for this exhibition to support public programming.  

 

Sine Kwento: Filipino Film and Stories : Sine Kwento “remembering our past by celebrating and sharing its inspiration” is an exhibition about the history of Philippine Cinema. Starting in the Philippines and then transitioning to California, the exhibition takes visitors from the beginnings of cinema into the modern age of media and content creation by Filipino-American vloggers in San Diego, California. The exhibit will include curated film production props used in some of the films made by Filipino filmmakers. The month-long programming will include Saturday film screenings of films created by global Filipino filmmakers, films projected intermittently on the wall of the museum and on a big screen TV.  Programming includes panel discussions with Filipino-American filmmakers and creative collaborators in film, musical performances, and spoken-word (poetry) by San Diego FilipinoAmerican artists. The exhibition will take place between November 7 – 30, 2020 Saturday Screenings: November 7: - VIP Opening Ceremony and Reception Opening Film: Outdoor screening of HARANA: the Search for the Lost Art of Serenade including Q&A with Benito Bautista, Introduction and Q&A Moderators: Celia Solis of New Americans Museum and local filmmaker Leah Lombos Venue: BMCC November 14 - Afternoon: Panel Discussion - Emerging Filipino American Filmmakers in San Diego Panel Moderator: Benito Bautista Night: Short film screenings
