JP Habac’s “Dito at Doon” (Here and There) starring Janine Gutierrez and JC Santos is set to have its world premiere at this year’s Osaka Asian Film Festival.
“Dito at Doon” will be shown on March 5 to 14 at the said film fest, Gutierrez announced on Instagram last Wednesday, Feb. 10.
“Before we show this film here in the Philippines, TBA Studios’ #DitoAtDoon (Here and There) will have its world premiere at the 大阪アジアン映画祭 Osaka Asian Film Festival 2021,” she said.
“Soooo happy about the news!! I wiiiish we could be there to attend but just very grateful that we got in at wala nang mas makapagpapasaya sakin kundi ang mapanood niyo ang aming pelikula (and nothing will make me happier other than you watching our film),” Gutierrez emphasized.
The film is participating under the New Action! Southeast Asia Section, according to the announcement.
Habac likewise took to his Twitter account on Feb. 9 to share the news with a bit of wordplay, posting, “Doon muna tayo sa Japan sa March 5 tapos dito naman sa Pinas sa March 17.”
(We will have our premiere over there in Japan on March 5, then have it released here in the Philippines on March 17.)
Doon muna tayo sa Japan sa March 5 tapos dito naman sa Pinas sa March 17. Oha chos hahaha. #DitoAtDoon (Here and There) will have its world premiere in this year’s Osaka Asian Film Festival!
