Pacific Arts Movement and San Diego Filipino Cinema (SDFC)'s Cine Libre Program present "A is for Agustin," directed by Grace Pimentel Simbulan. Q&A with the filmmaker following the screening moderated by Pac Arts Executive Director Alex Villafuerte.
As part of the SDAFF 25th anniversary campaign, Pac Arts' Spotlight Screening series collaborates with community partners to offer year-round film screenings across San Diego County.
About the film: Living on a remote Philippine island, Agustin, an Indigenous man who loves to sing, never learned to read or write. After being repeatedly cheated by his boss, 40-year-old Agustin enrolls in Grade 1. Filmed in an immersive style, the film invites the audience to share Agustin's hopes and dreams, highlighting the fragile optimism of many Indigenous peoples.
