Filipinos triumph in French filmfest

Filipino artists made it big at the recent St. Tropez International Film Festival, held in the south of France on May 16.

Superstar Nora Aunor was adjudged best actress in a foreign language film for her powerful performance in the psychological thriller “Dementia.” The award was a double victory for the film as it also won the best foreign language film for director-producer Perci Intalan. Actor Emilio Garcia likewise topped the best supporting actor in a foreign language film category for his work in Jason Paul Laxamana’s “Magkakabaung (The Coffin Maker).”

Intalan attended the St. Tropez fest with Ferdinand Lapuz, producer of “Magkakabaung” and “Dementia.”
