The 10th International Silent Film Festival runs from August 25 to 28, 2016 at the Shangri-LaPlaza Mall.
For the last 10 years, the organizers of the International Silent FilmFestival have been taking cinephiles back to the time when movies didnot have recorded sound and synchronized dialogue but had live musicthat made the moving pictures come alive.
This way, the organizers—composed of the cultural o�ces or embassiesof participating countries Germany, Spain, France, Austria, U.S.A., Japan,the Philippines, and for the �rst time this year, U.K.—are able to honor thesilent �lm era, which basically ran from the invention of �lm in the mid-1890s to the introduction of sound in the late 1920s.
It is also a way to showcase each country’s cinematic wealth andanother avenue to challenge the artistry of Filipino and some foreignmusicians.
There was the nearly forgotten 1934 Filipino �lm Brides of Zulu with livemusical scoring by a group of Tausug artists called Panday PandikalCultural Troupe.
Then there was the celebrated German �lm Metropolis, directed by FritzLang, accompanied by the Filipino live dance music group Rubber Inc.
And the list goes on.
“We try to aim higher,” said Shadin Kitma, program coordinator of theGerman cultural institute Goethe-Institut Philippines, in an interview withPEP.ph at the �lm fest’s press launch held last August 16 at the Shangri-La Plaza Mall in Mandaluyong City.
(Shangri-la Plaza has been the �lm fest’s faithful partner for 10 years,providing one of its cinema houses as venue for all the screeningsscheduled to take place from August 25 to 28, 2016.)
The musical headliners this year include iconic Pinoy rock �gure ElyBuendia, frontman of the 1990s megaband Eraserheads and currently ofthe bands Pupil, The Oktaves and Apartel.
Ely provides musical scoring to the Italian �lm Maciste All’inferno, a storythat takes place in hell.
Joining Ely in the lineup is his contemporary Basti Artadi, vocalist of therevered rock group Wolfgang who’s now largely known as a solo artist.
Basti brings his unique musicality to the Austrian �lm DerBalletterzherzog, which is about a love triangle among an archduke, acount, and a ballerina.

Representing this generation is Up Dharma Down, the bandinternationally cited for its “genre-defying” music and fronted by one-of-a-kind performer Armi Millare.
Up Dharma Down gives its own brand of musical scoring to the German�lm Der letzte Mann, a drama considered as an important work by F.W.Murnau.
The Philippine entry, Maicling Maicling Pelicula nang Ysang IndioNacional, directed by Raya Martin, will have musical accompaniment bythe indie rock band Oh! Flamingo.

There's something for everyone on this list. Walang away sa
The U.K. �lm, Play On! Silent Shakespeare, will have that jazzy feelcourtesy of the Tago Jazz Collective.
Spain is represented by the zarzuela La Revoltosa, which will be set tomusic by the DingDong Fiel Music Ensemble and tenor Miguel AngelLobato.
Japan �elds in a tragic love story of forbidden love titled Muteki, and itwill be scored by the Makiling Band.
From the U.S., there is the rom-com-action �ick For Heaven’s Sake plusthe musical scoring by the 10-piece band Brass Pas Pas Pas Pas.
Finally, France has two �lms: Le Pied de Mouton and Le Petit Soucet.Both �lms have been assigned to Filipino musical director, arranger,composer, and conductor Felipe Latonio Jr.
The choice of �lms and musicians, as explained to PEP.ph by Goethe-Institut Philippines’ program coordinator Shadin Kitma, solely lies on thecultural o�cers of the participating countries.
In Germany’s case, Kitma said they chose Der letzte Mann because “it’s arevolutionary �lm by F.W. Murnau” that “deviates from the standard �lmna static lang ’yong scenes.”
He added: “This one, free movement ’yong camera, so the �lmmakerreally goes in and goes out, or follows the protagonist—which, at thattime, was very new. We like it very much.”
Kitma explained that they opted for Up Dharma Down because the band’smusic is suited to the movie.
Also: “Because they’re good. They’re popular. We know that there’s ademand. Gusto ng mga tao na papuntahin sila sa Silent Film Festival, butnever nangyayari. And now, we’re able to do it.”
As a rule, he pointed out that Goethe-Institut Philippines gives a “freehand” to their chosen band or musicians in the creating musical scoring,and Up Dharma Down is no exception.
Kitma reiterated what his counterpart from the Japanese culturalinstitute Japan Foundation, Roland Samson, said earlier during thepresscon proper, something about the �lm fest being a competitionamong partner-organizers.
“It’s a silent competition,” Kitma said, pun not intended. “But it’s okaybecause at the end of the day, ’yong fans ang nakikinabang kasi thequality of our entries is improving and improving because of thecompetition.”
