MANILA – The Film Development Council of the Philippines named the animated movie “Iti Mapukpukaw” as the country’s official entry for the 96th Academy Awards.
Directed by Carl Joseph Papa, the film is Filipino-Ilocano rotoscope animated film that follows Eric’s life as it twists and turns after the arrival of the familiar alien, and the death of his uncle; both of which trigger Eric to remember his past and untangle his memories. “It comes from my trauma and personal interviews. Nagsimula ako sa place of anger, then I brought it to a place of love. Gano'n when you are facing this kind of trauma. Kailangan natin ng safe space,” Papa explained, noting how the film is personal.
