UP Film Institute screens Mes de Guzman’s Ang Daan Patungong Kalimugtong

The long wait is over as UP Film Institute finally screens Mes de Guzman’s Ang Daan Patungong Kalimugtong—one of the very few true gems that ushered in the much ballyhooed new digital era for Philippine cinema.

From Sampay Bakod Productions, the multi-awarded digital feature screens on four consecutive Fridays this June beginning June 8 until June 29 at 2, 5 and 7 p.m. to constitute a fitting highlight for UP Film Institute’s school opening special all throughout the month. It tells the poignant story of sibling kids on their daily routine of crossing steep and slippery mountains and traversing long winding roads to attend a village school.

Ang Daan Patungong Kalimugtong won Special Mention for Best New Director at 2006 San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain; Best Digital Picture at the 2006 Golden Screen Awards of the Entertainment Press Society; Best Director at the 2006 Urian Awards of the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino and the 2nd Best Picture at the 1st Digital Lokal Competition of the Cinemanila International Film Festival in 2005 among numerous awards and distinctions.
