The Filipino historical film “Quezon,” starring Jericho Rosales, is making its international film debut this October at the 45th Hawaii International Film Festival (HIFF45) as part of its “Spotlight on the Philippines” special program that honors Filipino American History Month.
“Quezon” will be showing on October 26, 2:30pm at Consolidated Kahala Theater, and on October 28, 6pm at Consolidated Kapolei Theater.
The film follows Manuel L. Quezon’s fight for independence from the United States and his Philippine presidency in the early 1930s. The film is directed by Jerrold Tarog with production by TBA Studios.
“We are thrilled to share ‘Quzeon’ with audiences in Hawaii and beyond at HIFF,” said TBA Studios Chief and “Quezon” producer Daphne Chiu.
“We’re thankful to HIFF for its warm Aloha to our film and hope audiences will be as exited to see it abroad as they have been in the Philippines.”
“Quezon” is the third installment in the studios’ “Bayaniverse” (Bayani is the Filipino word for Hero, and -verse pertains to universe). The first two movies were 2015’s “Heneral Luna” and 2018’s “Goyo: The Boy General.”
