EMERGING CRITICS
Bane Vicente
Bane Vicente is a Pasig-based filmmaker and writer who, regardless of how much they admire Brocka, still answers “Bernal” when asked about their favorite local filmmaker. Most of their works are short films that explore love, pain, memory, and everything in between. Some of their musings on cinema can be found on their then-school-requirement-turned-personal blog, para pelikula, where they try to navigate the many intersections of film, film work, and the society they live and exist in. At present, they work with Mayday Multimedia — an independent media outfit that focuses on labor rights.
