ARKIPELAGO ANNOUNCES EAST COAST FILIPINO FILM FESTIVAL IN MANHATTAN, SEPTEMBER 20-21; QUEENS, OCTOBER 4, 2003
Arkipelago, a New York City-based arts and cultural organization, proudly announces the return of the only East Coast Filipino Film and Video Festival, Sa Pinilakang Tabing 2003 (On the Silver Screen). Now in its seventh year of showcasing innovative and experimental works, SP*T 2003 will be held in Manhattan on the weekend of September 20-21, 2003 at Anthology Film Archives. In order to bring films to the Filipino community in queens, the festival will also be held at Flushing Library on October 4, 2003. Admission to both locations is free.
Via the power of moving images, the SP*T 2003 Film Festival provides an open forum that connects Filipino filmmakers, videographers and those focused on the Filipino experience with the community at large. To achieve this goal, submissions to the festival come from both North America and the Philippines.
Previous SP*T festivals have showcased the works of filmmakers such as Mike Sandoval, Ron Domingo, Barbara Malaran, Kidlat Tahimik, Sari Lluch Dalena, Ernesto Foronda, Matias Aguilar, Celine Salazar Parrenas, Angel Velasco Shaw, DIWA Arts and Sabrina Margarita Alcantara.
A launch party/benefit will be held at Galapagos Art Space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on September 17, 6:00-9:00p.
