‘Ang Nawawala’ competes in Slamdance

Filipino filmmaker Marie Jamora’s “Ang Nawawala (What Isn’t There)” will compete in  the Slamdance Film Festival to be held in Park City, Utah from Jan. 18 to 24. The Slamdance website described the Cinemalaya film as a “lyrical exploration of love, music and expression.” Envisioned as an alternative to the Sundance indie fest, Slamdance’s goal is “to showcase exhilarating filmmaking with a revolutionary take on our world,” said Peter Baxter, Slamdance president and cofounder.
