“Bwakaw,” a film topbilled by the much awarded veteran actor Eddie Garcia, is this year’s entry to the best foreign language film category in the Oscars.
Written and directed by the multi awarded playwright-screenwriter Jun Robles Lana, “Bwakaw” tackles the story of a gay old man who lives alone with his pet dog. It is the story of Rene, the 75-year-old man who lives alone with his dog Bwakaw, which means “voracious” or “greedy.” It has been 15 years since he came out, and it seems he’s still waiting – for nothing in particular. He faces old age with no family and few friends.
Described a comedy-drama, it won the best actor award for Garcia, audience choice and Netpac awards in this year’s Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival. It is scheduled for screening at the Toronto International Film Festival (under Contemporary World Cinema) and the New York Film Festival (Main Slate) and in Hawaii.
