Director Rainier, Producer Bingbong and Production Assistant Jocelyn are well-to-do, well-educated film school graduates who are dead set on making an Oscar worthy film. They believe they have a winning script, the energy and the drive to make their dreams come true. Like most filmmakers they know, they have devised a screenplay that will show the real essence of our culture: poverty. In the course of one day, they brainstorm and exhaust all possible treatment of their project: the story of Mila (Eugene Domingo), a mother from the slums, who out of desperation to survive, has sold her child to a pedophile. As they discuss the possible executions of the story, the movie-within-a-movie gets reborn in Jocelyn’s imagination several times. As a gritty no frills neo-realist film, as a glossy musical, as an over-the-top melodrama and as a docu drama using non-actors. For their last task of the day, they visit the dumpsite for the first time. As filmmakers gunning for authenticity, they get excited with the ”beauty” of the squalor around them. Soon enough, they are faced with reality as they come face to face with the real effects of their chosen subject. Babae sa Septic Tank is a comedy about misguided ambitions, the art of making art and the romanticization of poverty.[http://www.cinemalaya.org/film_septictank.htm -- cinemalaya.org]<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> * [[Eugene Domingo]] - Mila / Herself<br /> * [[JM de Guzman]] - Bingbong<br /> * [[Kean Cipriano]] - Rainier<br /> * [[Cai Cortez]] - Jocelyn<br /> * [[Mercedes Cabral]]<br /> * [[Cherry Pie Picache]] <br /> * [[Jonathan Tadioan]] - Arthur Poongbato<br /> <br /> ==Trailer==<br /> {{AsianWikiPlayer1|url=2012C/The_Women_In_The_Septic_Tank.xml}}<br /> <br /> ==Film Festivals==<br /> * [[2011 (30th) Vancouver International Film Festival]] - September 29-October 14, 2011 - Dragons &amp; Tigers Award for Young Cinema *International Premiere<br /> * [[2011 (16th) Busan International Film Festival]] - October 6-14, 2011 - A Window on Asian Cinema<br /> * [[2011 (24th) Tokyo International Film Festival]] - October 22 - 30, 2011 - Filipino Express<br /> * [[2011 (31st) Hawaii International Film Festival]] - October 13-23, 2011 - Spotlight on the Philippines<br /> * [[2012 (62nd) Berlin International Film Festival]] - February 9-19, 2012 - Forum<br /> * [[2012 (7th) Osaka Asian Film Festival]] - March 9-18, 2012 - Special Screenings<br /> * [[2012 (36th) Hong Kong International Film Festival]] - March 21-April 5, 20112 - Young Cinema Competition<br /> * [[2012 (14th) Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema]] - April 11-22, 2012 - International Competition<br /> * [[2012 (5th) Off Plus Camera International Festival of Independent Cinema]] - April 13-22, 2012 - International Dramatic Competition 'Making Way'<br /> * [[2012 (14th) Udine Far East Film]] - April 20-April 28, 2012 *Italian Premiere<br /> * [[2012 (6th) Granada Film Festival Cines del Sur]] - June 11-16, 2012 - Official Section<br /> * [[2012 (14th) Taipei Film Festival]] - June 29 - July 21, 2012 - Panorama - Window On Asian Films<br /> * [[2012 (47th) Karlovy Vary International Film Festival]] - June 29-July 7, 2012 - Another View<br /> * [[2012 (16th) Fantasia Film Festival]] - July 19-August 9, 2012 *Quebec Premiere<br /> * [[2012 (21st) Philadelphia Film Festival]] - October 18-28, 2012 - World Narrative<br /> <br /> ==Awards==<br /> * '''Alhambra de Bronce (Special Jury Prize)''' - [[2012 (6th) Granada Film Festival Cines del Sur]] - June 11-16, 2012<br /> <br /> ==Comments==<br /> &lt;wp:comments&gt;<br /> wp_post_title=The Woman in the Septic Tank<br /> wp_url=http://asianmediawiki.com/commentsdirectory/<br /> &lt;/wp:comments&gt;<br /> <br /> {{UpdateBox}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Philippines films]]<br /> [[Category:2011 Philippines films]]<br /> [[Category:films]]<br /> [[Category:2011 films]]<br /> [[Category:Comedy films]]<br /> [[Category:2011 Comedy films]]<br /> [[Category:Philippines Comedy films]]<br /> [[Category:Award Winning films]]<br /> [[Category:2011 Award Winning films]]<br /> [[Category:Philippines Award Winning films]]<br /> [[Category:Award Winning-Comedy films]]<br /> [[Category:2011 Award Winning-Comedy films]]<br /> [[Category:Philippines Award Winning-Comedy films]]<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Woman in the Septic Tank, The}}</div>
