First trailer for Wi Ding Ho's 'Pinoy Sunday'
by Andrew Mack, March 17, 2010 2:25 PM
Back in 2005 Malaysian
filmmaker Wi Ding Ho won the best short film category at Cannes with his
film Respire. He's made the trek back to France with another
short film and will go again once more as part of the L'Atelier program
at the festival. He wil return with a feature length film finally under
his belt, Pinoy Sunday.
On
their only day off, Filipino migrant workers, MANUEL and DADO discover a
couch left behind on a Taipei sidewalk. In a life where everything is
arranged and all possessions belong to the factory, the couch
represents
a chance to own something of their own.
Aware that carrying a heavy piece of furniture across town is both
ridiculous
and illogical, the journey becomes an important metaphor for their
attempt to make an unpleasant
factory dorm that much
more like a home. The arduous walk across the landscape is also an
internal struggle --a
journey that challenges notions
of manhood, friendships and family.
