Retrospective in Lisbon for Philippine director Brillante Mendoza, adobo main course features “Lola”

By the looks of it, the director is gearing up for another eventful year.  Director Brillante Mendoza, Cannes Filmfest Best Director, is in Lisbon where a retrospective of his works is being held. 

As reported in the Philippine Star, the Lisboa International Film Festival, open until January 25, follows in a line of festivals that has shown the Philippine director-advertising agency veteran’s movies.  Previous retrospectives have been held in Cleveland in the U.S., Rome, Paris and Sao Paolo, Brazil.

Another retrospective will be in Berlin from February 4 to 11, where Mendoza will hold filmmaking classes at the Berlin Television and Film School.

adobo magazine’s quarterly production, adobo main course, features Mendoza’s Dubai Filmfest Best Picture Winner, and Venezia Official Competition Entry, “Lola” on February 2 at Cinema 1 at Greenbelt 3, at 7PM.  Mendoza will hold a commentary after the screening.

Perhaps by its screening in France, it would have added more feathers to its cap.  In March, “Lola” awaits judging, having bagged three nominations: Best Film, Best Director, and Best Editing, at the 4th Asian Film Awards in Hong Kong. 

“Lola” is also scheduled for a spring showing in France.
