Ikapito Nga Adlaw: 7th Day

“Ikapito nga Adlaw” is a short film entry submitted for the fourth edition of Cinekasimanwa: The Western Visayas Film Festival from December 10 – 21, 2016. The film is not more than 15 minutes but created a noise for tackling sex, blood and poetry. The script itself is as short as you can imagine but he is able to transcend a message deeper and sincerely through the different facets of love. It touches the concept of God resting in the seventh day and allowed humanity to express love in various erotic forms. An 18-year-old guy falling in love to a woman in her 50s. Imagine a guy-to-guy sexual hook-up and end-up dying for each other … Romeo and Juliet theme? An innocent girl gang raped that pushed her childhood lover in committing suicide. Then, there’s breaking the norm: nudity done in poetic passion, I guess so (hehe). It’s wonderful how the film delivered different voices, messages and dilemmas with a short repeated script but long enough to define forever,  a glimpse of infinity and dramatic bravura.
