Brillante Ma. Mendoza’s “Sapi” was recently shown at the Brisbane International Film Festival. The film was described as “deeply unsettling and gleefully macabre…  edgy provocation in an age of 24-hour news.” Mendoza was cited for his “lethal satirical eye and a spine-tingling sense of atmosphere.” Last year, his “Thy Womb” had sold-out screenings in the same fest.  Bayani San Diego Jr.
