Jericho Rosales' Alagwa Invited to the 2012 Busan International Film Festival

Alagwa (Breakaway) which stars Jericho Rosales will have its world premiere at the 17th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) 2012 which will run from October 4-13 in Busan, South Korea.

Alagwa is Jericho's first local indie movie and besides being an actor, he is also co-producing the film. It is an advocacy film about human trafficking inspired by urban legends about children being abducted in the streets of Metro Manila.

Under the direction of Ian Loreños (The Leaving), Alagwa (Breakaway) also stars Bugoy Cariño, Carmen Soo, Leo Martinez, Smokey Manaloto, Jeremiah Rosales, John Manalo, Nanette Inventor,  Iñaki Ting, Garry Lim and Jamieson Lee.

Here is BIFF's program note for Alagwa:

People have a tendency to be drawn to danger and adventure, so this film takes us to the most dangerous spots in the world we live. The film was inspired by the true story of a Chinese-Filipino boy who went missing in the 1990s. Stories of missing children are always accompanied by the exhaustive searches by their parents. Films dealing with searches such as to are usually searches for self. But the story of 9-year-old Brian and his father Robert explores the dark side of the Philippines and the issues of child trafficking. Robert is called to Brian’s school as a result of Brian’s bad behavior. He’s angry at his son but they soon reconcile and head for the local shopping mall. There, Brian goes to the men’s room while Robert steps away to buy a lottery ticket. Brian is never seen again. The camera follows Robert’s journey as he searches for his son through the perilous streets of the Philippines; the lens capturing the anxiety and terror in Philippine society.

Watch the newly-released one-minute teaser for Alagwa:

Aside from Alagwa, seven other Filipino films have also been invited to Busan International Film Festival in October. Four were entries to the recent 8th Cinemalaya Film Festival—Mes de Guzman’s Diablo, Vincent Sandoval’s Aparisyon, Lawrence Fajardo’s Posas (Shackled) and Adolfo Alix Jr.’s Kalayaan. The others are Brillante Mendoza’s Captive and Thy Womb and Antoinette Jadaone’s Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay.
