Indie film "Busong" makes it to Cannes

Philippine indie film "Busong" will be showcased as one of the 21 feature films at the Director's Fornight at the Cannes. The inclusion of the film was announced yesterday and it is from independent filmmaker Auraeus Solito.

"Busong," karma in a local dialect, was shot in Palawan and stars Alessandra de Rossi as Punay who is born with wounds on her feet that she cannot step on the earth. The story revolves around the search of Punay and his brother Angkarang, who carries the former in a hammock, for a healer and in the process meets different people along the way: a woman looking for her husband, a fisherman who lost his boat, and a young man who is searching for himself.

Auraeus Solito also helmed international film festival favorite "And Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros," his first and one that brought him 15 international awards.
