MANILA, Philippines - Lito Casaje’s indie titled Dolores will have its world premiere tomorrow night at 7 at the Market! Market! Cinemas. It will be featured as one of the six finalists competing in the Digital Lokal Section of this year’s Cinemanila International Film Festival which is until Oct. 25 at the Market! Market! Cinemas of Global City, The Fort, Taguig.
A poignantly twisted tale of parental love and lust, Dolores is about a young adolescent torn between the love and desire of his family members. Having been raised in a cocooned world where everyone turns a blind eye on each other’s self gratification, Dolores’ sense of innocence begins to warp until it eventually breaks into a childlike kind of self-destruction.
Dolores features Dido dela Paz, Mailes Kanapi, Amante Pulido, Conrad de Guzman, Keith Cabañez, RJ Maximo, Joseph Garcia, Redentor Esguerra, and Lara Buenaventura as Dolores.
With screenplay by Casaje and Garcia, associate direction and editing by Lawrence Fajardo and Jobin Ballesteros, cinematography by Andrew Topacio, production management by Jerry Garcia, sound design by Alan Hilado, production design by Raven Ong, art direction by Aaron Hernandez, second assistant direction by Heather Europa, and produced by Casaje and Garcia for Dramatic Personae, Dolores is presented in part by Barcelo Café, Nature’s Spring and Pixel Art Media Production.
An afternoon matinee screening is also scheduled on Oct. 21, 4 p.m. at the Market! Market! Cinemas.
