BRUTUS in Chicago
After winning four awards at the 2008 Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival, “BRUTUS, ang Paglalakbay” will try its luck at the 44th Chicago International Film Festival.
BRUTUS is a film about two Mangyan kids who decided to haul illegal logs, using a bamboo raft, from the mountains to the lowlands, in order to help their families earn a living. As they go on their journey they meet friends and foes, deal with mother nature,death,and failure. Inspite of all these they manage to hang on to the innocence of their culture.
I’d like to invite you to watch the screening if you live in Chicago. Here are the two play dates below:
