MANILA -- It was a fitting moment when the Film Development Council of the Philippines and the 23rd Udine Far East Film Festival announced Monday that they are paying homage to the late multi-awarded film actor and director Eddie Garcia at the Italian film fest from June 24 to July 2.
“Anino,” a gritty short film about social inequality in Manila directed by Red and winner of the Palme D'Or for Best Short Film at the 2000 Cannes International Film Festival, is a testament to Garcia’s legacy and generosity as an artist. He portrayed the hot-headed Mercedes Benz-driving rich guy stuck in traffic in the short film.
The Udine festival organizers disclosed that they actually wanted two more of Garcia’s films -- the landmark Lino Brocka movie “Tubog sa Ginto” where the late actor portrayed a closeted husband; and the Nora Aunor-starrer “Atsay” directed by Garcia.
