'Kono Basho' and 'Sunshine' receive international awards
The first quarter of 2025 looks promising for two homegrown films, "Kono Basho" and "Sunshine." Both were recognized internationally in two European film festivals. "Kono Basho" is the feature-length directorial debut of Jaime Pacena II, who won at the Vesoul Asian Film Festival 2025 (Prix du Jury Lycéen).
"One of the best feelings was the idea that it was chosen by the youth," says Jaime. The one-hour and 25-minute drama won the hearts of the young French audience. "I was really surprised. Importante sa akin 'yon bilang isang tatay, magulang, at titser (It was important to me as a father, parent, and teacher)."
"It was something I never expected," adds the 2024 Cinemalaya Best Director. "I just wanted to make a film." "Kono Basho" follows two half-sisters attending their father's funeral in tsunami-stricken Rikuzentakata, Japan.
