by first-time director Atom Magadia as its entry for the best international feature film category at the 2020 Oscars.
The film stars Tommy Abuel as a WWII veteran who tries to connect with his dead wife through reading the diaries she left behind.has already picked up a slew of domestic and international awards for its leads since first screening at the Philippines’ Cinemalaya independent film festival, including the best actor honors for Abuel at Cinemalaya and the European International Film Fest.
The film was written by the director’s wife Anne Magadia, who shared the news of its selection via Facebook. “Ok, I know the ‘better-mannered and proper’ version of myself should be quiet about news like this. But, I am hearts-crossed, not doing this out of hubris," she wrote. "To tell you the truth, I originally thought it was a hoax. Until we received this letter this morning, I didn't believe it to be real."
While the Philippines has been submitting films for the Oscar's international category since its inception in 1956, the country has yet to win an Oscar.
Thank you so much for your featuring Dagsin, but it is misleading. The Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) has not yet chosen its official entry. DAGSIN can only confirm that we are among the films short-listed to possibly represent the Philippines in the Oscars.
despite the film's flaws this film has some good moments of fun.
i'm a huge mistake and i have seen the first one but it is a very good .
