‘Magkakabaung’ competes in Italy

Jason Paul Laxamana’s “Magkakabaung (The Coffin Maker)” will compete at the 12th Salento International Film Festival, Sept. 5 to 12, in Italy. It will vie for awards in three categories: best feature film, actor and actress, said producer Dennis Evangelista. According to its website, the fest’s “mission is to bring cultures together… [and] support the distribution of independent films… by providing [a venue] where filmmakers can exchange ideas.” Bayani San Diego Jr.
