FIFFLA 09 Presents "Himala"
Himala (Miracle) is an award-winning Filipino film directed by the late Philippine National Artist Ishmael Bernal. The films screenwriter and cinematographer were multi-award winner Ricky Lee and Sergio Lobo, respectively. Based on a 1967 incident and news report, Himala was filmed entirely in the most arid Philippine tourist spots in Ilocos Norte, in just three weeks. The movie premiered at the 1982 Metro Manila Film Festival, and in 1983, it became the first and so far the only Filipino film to be included in the Competition Section of the prestigious Berlin International Film Festival. Since then, Himala has been exhibited in a number of film festivals around the world.
On November 11, 2008, Himala won the 2008 CNN Asia Pacific Screen Awards Viewers Choice Award for Best Asia-Pacific Film of all Time (voted for by thousands of film fans around the world, at www.cnn.com/thescreeningroom). The CNN online voters hailed it as the greatest Filipino film.
