The award winning Taklub by Brillante Mendoza will open Cinemalaya on August 7, 7pm at the CCP Main Theater. Taklub is a story of three major characters - Bebeth, Larry and Erwin, whose lives intertwine after the Super Typhoon Haiyan ravaged the city of Tacloban - leaving survivors to search for their dead, while keeping their sanity intact, and protecting what little faith there may be.
Aunor plays Bebeth who searches for the remains of her three children in the hope that any identified records could match a DNA test from those buried at the mass grave. Julio Diaz is Larry who has lost his wife and consoles himself by joining a group of devout Catholics carrying a life-size cross around the city. Aaron Rivera is Erwin, who together with his elder brother tries to hide the truth of their parents’ death from their little sister.
The much-acclaimed Dementia by Perci Intalan has Aunor playing the role of a woman dealing with early onset of dementia. But is it really dementia or is there something really haunting her? Jasmine Curtis Smith, Yul Servo, Bing Loyzaga, Chynna Ortaleza and Althea Vega appear with Aunor in this film that won awards and nominations at both local and foreign film festivals. Dementia will be shown on August 11, 6:15 p.m. at the CCP Little Theater.
Aunor plays an older woman moving on from a painful loss in the short film Kinabukasan (The Day After) by Adolfo Alix. A link from the past appears---a young man who has questions that she must help him find answers for. Rosanna Roces and Alden Richards co-star in this film. Kinabukasan will be screened on August 8, 3:30 pm at the CCP Little Theater.
Aunor was named Best Actress in Cinemalaya 2014 for her performance in Hustisya in the Directors Showcase category.
