ENGKWENTRO: The film that made the country proud with two awards at the Venice Film Festival. Experience it in High Definition this weekend, Dec. 11-13, 2009, at SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia, SM North Edsa and SM Cebu!
Inspired by true events, Engkwentro follows the last 24 hours of Richard and Raymond, two teenage brothers on opposite sides of a gang war. In order to escape a city controlled by an iron-fisted mayor, they must first break away from the cycle of crime, meanwhile trying to run from the state's murderous vigilantes.
With a career-making performance by young heartthrob Felix Roco, son of cinema legend Bembol Roco, and directed by 22-year-old Pepe Diokno, Engkwentro took home two awards at September's Venice Film Festival -- including the Premio Orizzonti for new trends in cinema, and the US$ 100,000 Lion of the Future Award for Best Debut Film.
