Chicago – The Asian Pop-Up Cinema Series, spotlighting a variety of diverse Asian films, continues its 2016 Fall Season with a Filipino film, “Hamog,” directed by Ralston Jover. The film, making its Chicago premiere, will screen at 2pm on Sunday, Sep 25th, 2016, at the Wilmette Theatre in Willmette, Ill.
“Hamog” is a gritty drama, about a gang of street kids in Manila who encounter some unexpected events, in the midst of their daily routine of crime and survival. Teri Malvar’s performance in the film won the Best Actress Award at the 38th Moscow Film Festival, and director Ralston Jover won over the Russian Film Critics’ Jury with a Best Film award. Variety lauded the film’s “unorthodox structure and detours into magical realism,” and praised Jover’s craft as a “powerful essay on social inequity and child endangerment.”
