A movie critical of the Duterte administration has been disqualified from the Sinag Maynila independent film festival – a move that the director said is comparable to what happens under martial law

Sinag Maynila, led by acclaimed director Brillante Mendoza and Solar Entertainment Corporation, announced on Friday that they are pulling out the film"Walang Kasarian Ang Digmang Bayan ." Directed by Joselito Altarejos, the film was initially a finalist under the festival's full length category.

Starring Oliver Aquino, Rita Avila, Arnold Reyes, and Sandino Martin, the film tackles pressing national issues, particularly President Rodrigo Duterte's bloody war on drugs.

Jimparedes During Santa Cory's time, Lino Brocka's 'ORAPRONOBIS' was banned. They only decided for it to be publicly shown after it was well received at Cannes.

DISQUALIFICATION OF A MOVIE CRITICAL TO THE DUTERTE ADMINISTRATION IS 'MARTIAL LAW'. REASONS THAT GARGANTUAN FOREIGN INVESTORS ARE PULLING-OUT OF THE COUNTRY. NOW ONLY RUSSIA IS ON THEIR SIDE. NOT ONLY CHINA IS A SICK MAN OF ASIA BUT A 'Z' IN LATE 2020.

Yes trolls na binabayaran ni Duterte to show fake support for him—- Yes MARTIAL LAW ito talaga. I’ve lived through martial law, so kayong mga bayaran KNOW NOTHING

Naku...

LOL martial law na to sa inyo

isali n yan s oscars baka papasa😂

'martial law' is military rule. A disqualification of a political propaganda is a violation of certain Festival's rule.

Itong mga taong ito, kala mo naman tama lagi ang opinion nila. Pagawa-gawa pa ng movie.

Jimparedes tama lang huwag ipalabas ang kabobohan at kasinungalingan ng pelikulang yan!

Ang laki naman ng diperensya sa martial law, mga patola

All the more for people to want to see this movie.

Why highlight the side of the director when Sinag stated clearly the reason that is not following the script submitted. Cinemalaya also do this. This gay-soft-porn director was a 4 time GRANTEE, that is, awarded by Sinag Millions to make his films. Spell ingrate.

A movie was disqualified for whatever reason and you try to use the 'appeal to Martial Law' reasoning all because the film is critical of Duterte? How convenient. Joseph Goebbels would be truly proud of you.

Hahaha... deputa, pinagbawalan bang ipalabas sa sinehan yung pelikula? Kung hindi nakapasok sa festival, wag maging ampalaya. Gusto lang mapag-usapan yung movie, pero sorry to say, mukha namang hindi interesting yung pelikula. MartialLawMyFoot

Remember 'Voltes V' ..

Shit to organizer is Sinag Maynila. Brillante ang labo mo

Pansin ko lang mga linyahan ng DDS 'martial law na agad? Di lang nakuha gusto, martial law na?'😂 At ikumpara pa sa Korea e di naman uso censorship doon 🤡 Kung sa Korea siguro sumali yan, malamang may basbas pa. E dito allergic sa kritisismo tapos DDS pa founder so alamna 👊

I saw that Philippines changed a lot for good since Duterte took the seat. Which Philippine people should be proud of. The fact is,we, from the Latin America needs a President like him. We have severe drug cases and operations here that is more worst than what Philippines has.

Masakit kasi makita angbkatotohanan sa big screen, and ayaw kaya ng tatay nila na mamulat ang lahat sa katotohanan na walang kwenta ang admin ngayon. Kaya mga tuta nya double time sa pag stop ng mga ganitong movies.

talaga?

Martial law na agad? Diktador na agad? Di nakuha ang gusto, at entitled kayo sa opinyon nyo pero wag kayong mambulag ng ibang tao. Kaya ang pilipinas hirap umusad, lahat kasi isisisi sa gobyerno. StopMediaDeception

Kapag hindi nasunod ang gusto, parang Martial law na agad.

Duterte is a dictator

Martial Law na naman. Kung anu ano kasing ginagawa nyong movies kaya sobrang napagiwanan na kayo ng ibang Asian Nations di ba South Korea?
