Subject: Great News for Filipino Film
"Sa Pusod ng Dagat" was well-received at its World Premiere last Feb.16 at the 48th Berlin International Film Festival. It is featured in the Panorama Special section. The movie was being applauded even before the closing credits.
As a result of their highly successful world debut, the film is personally hand-picked by SIXTEEN (16) International Film Festivals including Singapore and Oslo where it will compete for top awards. This is the only Filipino film having the most number of invitations thus far.
Also, Director Marilou Diaz-Abaya and her delegation were ecstatic when they were approached personally by none other than the festival directors of the highly prestigious Montreal World Film Festival and Nantes Festival des Trois Continentes to have the film included in their program. Another first for the Philippines!
Solid proof that "Sa Pusod Ng Dagat" is highly appreciated and accepted by the international film community and is truly world-class.
