Producer Bianca Balbuena explained that the HAF and Paris Co-Production Village “give filmmakers the opportunity to pitch their planned projects to prospective financiers, coproducers, sales agents and distributors.”
She said that foreigners “are always looking forward to hear about the next project of Lav,” who had just won the Silver Bear Alfred Bauer Prize at the Berlinale for “Hele sa Hiwagang Hapis.”
Balbuena, who is coproducing “When the Waves Are Gone” with Bradley Liew, related that it is a noirish film about “revenge, bloodshed and a femme fatale.”
“Like his past films, this one tackles the pain of the past and the search for the Filipino soul,” she said. Bayani San Diego Jr.
