Filipino film wins in Jeonju

Apart from Lav Diaz’s “Florentina Hubaldo, CTE,” another Filipino film won at the 13th Jeonju International Film Festival in Korea early this month. Jet B. Leyco’s “Ex Press” brought home the Special Jury Prize. The jury commended the film “for its unusual combination of politics, history, fact and fiction, for [its] dream-like, surreal quality and radical message.” A cash prize of KRW 7 million ($6017.88) came with the honor.
