Winning the best short film award for “Bold Eagle” at the 2023 Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, Canada, is “incredible news” for its director Whammy Alcazaren, who admitted that the film “is a bit odd and hard to digest.” | marinelcruzINQ

“The pandemic was a strange and difficult time for everyone. ‘Bold Eagle’ is a reflection of what I feel we all went through as a community during the pandemic. We were all stuck at home, trapped and forced to confront our place in the world. The film is really a flurry of all my feelings and thoughts, the chaos that I felt within during these times. I wanted to go out and enjoy life. I wanted to escape for a better life elsewhere. I wished I was just a cat,” Alcazaren pointed out.

Incidentally, “Bold Eagle’ will be screened at the 2023 Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival as part of the “Festival’s Best: Shorts” section on Aug. 9, 9 p.m., at the Cinema Bonifacio , of the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City.“Bold Eagle” is also one of five films included in a program called “Pinoy Party” curated by one of Fantasia IFF programmers, Ariel Esteban Cayer.
