TUTOS screens back-to-back with KARSEL at UST CineVita today

Seymour Barros Sanchez


 

Under the theme 'Strengthening Family Ties,' the second CineVita film festival will screen Louise Anne Yamsuan's undergraduate thesis "Tutos" after another thesis film, Rianne Hill Soriano's "Karsel," at the Thomas Aquinas Research Center (TARC) Auditorium at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) today, 10 A.M.

 

"Tutos" (Seam), which was selected Best Thesis Narrative at the University of the Philippines (UP) Film Institute, is a film about the dynamics and complexities of a single father-daughter relationship in a postmodern patriarchal Filipino society.

 

Rey Ocampo (Danny Magisa), a tailor in a small town, is a stubborn, over-controlling single father to Elisa (Myka Pingol), a 20-year old student aspiring to be a writer. Not having any other female around the house, Elisa grew too stiff and tough for a lady and embodied the Filipino slang term of being "astig" which means tough – a fact her father considerably objects to.

 

The father and daughter story is narrated by Boyet (Amante Pulido), a loyal comrade and co-worker of Rey in the tailor shop. Conflict escalates when Rey, suffering from a heart attack, asks Elisa, already at the peak of realizing her dream as a writer, to stop studying for a while. Instead of retaliating against her father, Elisa used this turning point in their lives to write a story – this story, that is yet to inspire its future readers.

 

Yamsuan earned her degree in Film and Audiovisual Communication from UP. A writer, director, and independent cinema advocate, she has worked on several films both as a student and as a media practitioner. She is currently a lecturer at the School of Design and Arts of De La Salle College of St. Benilde and a production coordinator for The Filipino Channel (TFC).

 

CineVita is a nonprofit and educational endeavor of UST's 80-year old student publication The Varsitarian together with the UST Institute of Religion, UST Journalism Society, UST Literary Society, and UST Concilium Philosophiae.

 

All documentaries and local films are open to the public.  Full-length foreign films are exclusive to lecturers, film critics and students. Admission is free.

science o faith?

kaninang umaga pagkagising ko, malakas ang hangin. humahampas sya kung saan saan. naghilamos ako sa dirty kitchen. pagkatapos maghilamos, lumapit ako sa screen door, huminto sandali, at tumingin sa labas. nililipad ang mga dahon at sanga sa labas. nasabi ko sa nanay ko nung june na gusto ko nang bumagyo. yung dati rating bagyo na sinasalanta ang kabuhayan ng milyon-milyong pilipino. yung kapag lumabas ka ng bahay, mapuputulan ka ng katawan dahil sa lumilipad na yero. lumalayo na ang isip ko. tumutulo na ang tubig mula sa basa kong mukha. pagharap ko sa screen door...*wapak!* hinampas ng hangin ang screen door at tumama ito sa mukha ko.


faith in science.

sabi ng grade 3 science teacher ko, science is the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of a phenomenon based on methodolocigal activities. parang pisay ni aureus solito! anyway... sa science, lahat may basehan. may tangible evidence. kung pagkagising mo isang araw at may nararamdaman kang kakaiba sa katawan mo, madali na lang ipaliwanag gamit ang science. kapag naipaliwanag nang maayos, maniniwala ka na. wala ka nang angal dahil science na ang nagpatunay. wala ka nang pangontra sa science. pag science ang nagsabi, forever-and-ever-to-infinity-to-the-nth-power-no erase.


science of faith.

meron bang science of religion? ang alam ko, may conflict ang science at religion. kapag may mga bagay sa mundo na hindi na maarok ng kaalaman ng mga scientists, pananampalataya kay God na ang sasagot, o pinapalagay ng karamihan na ganun nga. ang isang scientist ba ay may pinanghahawakang faith? kapag wala nang lusot sa science, last resort na ang faith. ang mga salat sa kaalaman sa science, unang-una sa itenerary nila ang pakikipagusap kay God.


science o faith?

parang chicken and egg thing. parang yung hampas ng screen door sa mukha ko. kapag pinalagay kong science, makakaiwas ako kung kinompute ko kung gaano kabilis ang hangin na paparating, dagdag pa ang variable na distance ko mula sa screen door, ang mga bubong at puno na distraction sa path ng hangin, plus ang elemento na kakagising ko lang at mabagal pa ang reflexes ko.  kung ipapalagay kong faith, maiisip ko na masyado na akong makasalanan kaya ako hinampas ni God ng screen door sa mukha. plain and simple, diba? payak na kaisipan. pero parang tanga rin para sa isang may kaalaman both sa science at sa faith.


so ano nga kaya?

ewan ko. masakit ang mukha ko.

may chika ko sayo.
nadulas ako nung isang gabi sa banyo.
as in say hello to the kisame.
at kiss the tiles.

so diba nadulas nga ako...
tapos kanina, lungkut-lungkutan portion ako.
e kasi men..etong cr namin e never before as in EVER pang may nadulas dahil hindi naman sya madulas in the first place..

tapos...

so pagkadulas ko, masakit sya...
in fairness. parang "aray ko god, masaket yon ha."
tapos habang nakahilata ako sa cr at tinitingnan ang kisame...
at ninanamnam ang sakit...
naisip ko bigla na parang ang pagkadulas na yon e parang ginigising ako ni god sa isang reyalidad na dapat nili-live ko...
na until now e hindi ko maisip kung ano bang reality yon.

o baka naman assumption ko lang ang lahat...
at talaga namang madulas ang cr...
there's always a first time for everything.
first time dumulas ng cr...

hindi ba posible?

then again, baka tama rin ang assumption ko tungkol sa pagkadulas na yon.
dahil diba, bakitt ko naman biglang maiisip yon?

bakit?

bakit sa pagkadulas na yon, particularly?
at bakit magisa ako non?
maraming namamatay sa pagkadulas sa cr ha...
pero hindi ako nadeadz.
hindi naman din ako mashadong nasaktan dahil wetpaks ko naman ang niland-an ko...
hindi naman din ako nabagok..
at bakit, why of all the chances and instances i have in this world, bakit kagabi pa talaga?

tangina. ayoko na magisip.
parang nakakatawa isipin na iniisip ko to.
pero parang totoo rin, somehow.

hindi kaya malamang na ang pagkadulas na yan ay isang random accident lamang?

oo noh.
yun ang una kong naisip.
malaki ang posibilidad na isang katangahan lamang kaya ako nadulas...
pero later on, habang nakahilata ako sa banyo...
at nung medyo nung i'm on my feet again...
naisip ko na nga may gumigising sa kin.
ginigising nya ko sa para harapin ang realidad.
ang katotohanan.


kalokohan noh? parang tanga lang talaga.


e last week, may dulas moment rin ako na di natuloy dahil humarang ang aso ko sa babagsakan ko..
kaya di ako pumlakda..
baka nacheat ko ang tadhana non.
kagabi hindi na.


klokohan noh? parang tanga lang talaga.



may mga pagkakataong ang konsensya ay nag aalinlangang tuklasin ang katotohanan, pinanghihinayangan ang nakaraan, at pilit na kinakalkal ang mga sugat na naghihilom pa lamang.


kung may binabalak man ang...

MAN UP THERE
OMNISCIENT BEING
DIYOS
GOD
LORD


ang masasabi ko lang kay god, WALANG GULATAN.

sasabihin nya sayo "WAHAHAHA!!" with thunder and lghtning effects.

lemme worry about that when i get there.



*snippets of conversation with a friend.


sana by the time na humupa na ang pasa sa lower back at shin bone ko, madiskubre ko na rin kung anong ibig sabihin ng pangyayaring ito. pero i doubt it.
