Crowds packing New York PH Center’s summer film screenings

During the talk-back at the end of the screening, film directors Craig Nisperos, Jameelah Rose Lineses, Nicole Dizon, Raymund Eugenio, and Diane Paragaswere at hand to answer questions from moderator Gil Quito and the audience.

Responding to a question about challenges and opportunities they encountered in telling their stories,Director Raymund Eugenio said that “family and food are the two things that always connect us and are always part of Filipino culture.”Director Nicole Dizon shared that she wants to bridge the generational gap between her parents’ generation and that of the young Fil-Ams, particularly during this time when culture in America tends to be individualistic.

Consul General Claro S. Cristobal presented certificates of appreciation to the directors present and thanked them for allowing their films to be featured in the Sinehan sa Summer. Deputy Consul General Kerwin Tate likewise thanked the screening committee members, Cinemalaya, TBA Studios, the Cultural Center of the Philippines, and members of Friends from Abra, Association of Fil-Am Accountants Inc. NY , Cagayan de Oro City – Misamis Oriental Association of NY, Inc. , Cebuanos Engaging in Building Unity, Inc. , and the Filipino-American Association of Engineers for their continuous support to the Sinehan sa Summer 2019.
