“Bwakaw” may not have won at the Oscars, but it sure is making waves abroad.
At the recent 19th Vesoul International Fil Festival of Asian Cinema, Jun Robles Lana’s movie won three awards: the Emile Guimet award given by the Friends of the National Museum of Asian Arts of Paris, the Grand Prix de Jury International, and the High School Award (which is voted by the students).
This comedy-drama written and directed by Lana stars Eddie Garcia, who won the best actor award when it competed in last year’s Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival. It also brought home the Audience Choice and Netpac awards, according to Inquirer.
