MANILA, Philippines – There’s another Filipino film competing in an international film festival!
Richard Legaspi’s Pipo is vying for awards in the IndieCrete International Film Festival in Greece this August 19 to 21.
Pipo was one of the 35 entries that were chosen to compete, out of the 1,300 entries.
The movie, which is about a boy trying to convince an old photographer to take his family picture, stars Maliksi Morales and Lou Veloso. The movie has competed in other foreign film festivals too, including ones in the US, Colombia, and India.

Richard, who is an award-winning filmmaker, said that Pipo was a tribute to manual film cameras and to photographers who go unthanked for documenting lives.
He was also a film directing fellow at the Asian Film Academy in Busan, South Korea and a graduate of Ricky Lee’s 14th Film Scriptwriting Workshop.
The IndieCrete Film Festival will be held at the Paradiso Theater in Crete, Greece and the entries will be judged by actress Themis Bazaka, Greek Film Center general manager and director Gregory Karantinakis, and director and actor Kostas Nikolopoulos.
