‘Mamay Umeng’ in Geneva

Dwein Baltazar’s “Mamay Umeng” was screened at the Black Movie Film Festival held in Geneva, Switzerland, from Jan. 16 to 25. The fest’s website said of the film: “A close study of the elderly magnificently portrayed by Gerry Adeva … Despite the minimalism of the narrative, ‘Mamay Umeng’ hypnotizes … the sublime face of the patriarch enlightens our idea of old age.” Bayani San Diego Jr.
