TWO FILIPINO short films are competing at the 7th Festival Internacional de Cine IBAFF in Murcia, Spain, ongoing until March 12. Vying for top prizes are Liryc dela Cruz’s “Sa Pagitan ng Pagdalaw at Paglimot” and Bernard Jay Mercado’s “Man in the Cinema House.” More than 50 movies from 18 different countries will be screened in the Spanish fest that aims to offer “unique films of high quality.” Last year, Dela Cruz’s short film also competed at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland.
