Cinemalaya in Dumaguete presents 'Tribu'
6:00 PM
Audio-Visual Theater 1, Multimedia Center
OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
Starring Havy Bagatsing and Karl Eigger Balingit. Written and directed by Jim Libiran.
In the darker side of Manila, tribes of youthful gangsters roam the streets in search of quick fixes and precarious thrills. World-weary Tondo throbs to the beat of hiphop and freestyle gangsta rap, and to the scents and sensations of drugs and sex and violence. We witness this crepuscular underworld through the eyes of ten-year-old Ebet. We follow him as he witnesses the deadly lives of teenage gang members in Tondo and the events that lead to their explosive confrontation. The filmmaker employed real gang members in Tondo's ghettos as lead actors in this film.
