‘Mariquina’ goes to Shanghai

Apart from a screening at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco on June 21, Milo Sogueco’s “Mariquina” will be shown at the 18th Shanghai International Film Festival, ongoing in China until June 21.

The fest’s site describes the film as “bittersweet” and reports that Sogueco was “included in the first batch of Filipino filmmakers honored with a pioneering award of distinction by the Philippine Daily Inquirer” in 2010. Bayani San Diego Jr.
