SYNOPSIS
Was it possible that while filming one of his obras, "Bayan Ko, Kapit Sa Patalim," twenty years ago that the late, great, internationally-renowned Filipino auteur Lino Brocka sired a son? What if that boy suddenly surfaces and starts going around looking for his identity? Would you believe he is the son of Lino Brocka? Is there really a son of Lino Brocka?
This is what a group of TV journalists from an investigative show of a sub-par TV station will actually prove after accidentally stumbling upon the scoop about a twenty-year old kid who says he is the son of Brocka. Armed with their video cameras that
become part of the story by following the group, the journalists go around to search for clues. They go to San Jose, Nueva Ecija where Direk Lino grew up, to UP where he went to school, to Rajah Sulayman Theater where he honed his directing skills, to film sets where he spent his life, to gay bars which he frequent, to the streets where he marched, and the squatters area where he shot most of his films.
However, each time they arrive at these spots, the son of Brocka, "Onil," is always three steps ahead of them leaving them with people telling their close
encounters with the boy.
"Ang Anak Ni Brocka" is a mockumentary that delves deeper into the life of the National Artist for Film. It features not only Lino Brocka as a respected person but also exposes his flaws that he is not a superhero or a saint as what others would like to paint him. The film also opens a can of worms regarding his mysterious death by car accident in 1991.
The film also features interviews with Direk Lino's family members, friends, associates, actors and actresses he groomed, including surprise cameos of his so-called "sons and daughters" like Gina Alajar, Phillip Salvador, Bembol Roco, Jackyn Jose, Menggie Cobarrubias, Soxie Topacio, Chanda Romero, Allan Paule, Timothy Diwa, Francis Magalona, Joonee Gamboa, and others.
"Ang Anak Ni Brocka" was shown last July 30-31 at the SM Megamall as part of the Cinema One Originals Digital Film Festival.

SYNOPSIS
Lasponggols. Last take. Last shot. Last angle of an
entire filmmaking process.
In Sigfreid Barros-Sanchez's first film "Lasponggols,"
two crewmen from a film production company (Jeffrey
Quizon as the utility boy "Dido" and Dwight Gaston as
the clapper "Raffy") accidentally end up in a
far-flung barrio with the production's film equipments
after a bunch of hoodlums attacked them. To obtain the
assistance and hospitality of the villagers and barrio
officials, the hapless duo pretend to be known yet
unrecognizable Filipino filmmakers Erik Matti and Jon
Red out to make a film in their barrio. As a result,
the entire village becomes a microcosm of the film
industry with almost everyone wanting to be a star and
will do anything to become one at all cost or at least
earn a few pesos from the duo's fake movie.
The film is a black comedy of the Philippine movie
industry and features the photography of one of Asia's
top young cinematographers Odyssey Flores who gave the picture a "gasera" (local lamp)-lighting night effect
reminiscent of Danny Boyle's "The Beach". Further,
"Lasponggols" also features the return to acting of
Boboy Garovillo, Danny Javier, and Jim Paredes
(collectively known as the Apo Hiking Society) who
strut their comedic wares with independent film
veterans Soliman Cruz, Raul Morit, Roence Santos,
Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino, Bombi Plata, Sasi
Casas, and newcomers Rapunzel Hernandez and Monet dela Cruz. The movie also features special guest
appearances from Ronnie Lazaro, Joel Torre, Jon Red,
Rox Lee, Khavn dela Cruz, Topel Lee, and literary
figures Pete Lacaba, Kris Lanot-Lacaba, and Ms. Marra
PL. Lanot.
"Lasponggols" was part of the 1st Cinemalaya
Independent Film Festival which was shown last July
12-17, 2005 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
