Curated documentary on plastic waste “Alon!” has been nominated for the Best Foreign Language Documentary, Best Director of Foreign Language Documentary, and Science and Education Award at the London International Cinema Festival happening this year from Feb. 8 to 15.

Written and directed by Gabby Fernandez, and produced by the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde through the Office of the Vice President for Advancement, “Alon!” aim to remind of the immense impact of plastic pollution, it presents the wonders of the Philippines’ growing surf tourism and its relationship with the looming environmental problems.

“It is an interesting contrast: the beauty and simplicity of the surf lifestyle against the backdrop of runaway consumerism and ubiquity of plastic waste,” said Fernandez. “This is an issue that this generation, the students themselves, feel strongly about. It is their advocacy and for a change it is our generation following their lead. They take it seriously – as we all should,” he continued.

“Alon!” was screened in various schools including Jaime Hilario School-De La Salle Bataan, La Salle Green Hills, and De La Salle Lipa.
