KABISERA,
the biggest and most powerful family drama of 2016 is coming to theatres
nationwide this December 25th for the Metro Manila Film Festival with a
top-caliber cast headlined by the Grand Dame of Asian Cinema, Nora Aunor. The
much-anticipated MMFF comeback of the one and only superstar is joined by
award-winning actors Ricky Davao, JC De Vera, Jason Abalos, Victor Neri and
Perla Bautista. Also joining the cast are newcomers RJ Agustin, Ronwaldo Martin
(brother of Coco Martin), and Alex San Agustin.
Kabisera is
a film about a tightly knit family whose lives fall apart after a tragic
incident. Mercy, Nora Aunor’s character takes the central seat (Kabisera) to
hold her family together. The film will be Nora Aunor’s return to the annual
Metro Manila Film Festival where she won the most number of awards in the
past 42 years.
Kabisera is
produced by Firestarters Manila Productions, the same studio that produced the
award-winning film 1ST KO SI 3RD, together with Silver Story Entertainment.
The MMFF
Screening Committee citation emphasized the film’s quality in choosing KABISERA
as part of the magic 8:
“A
sure, steady directorial hand, conscientious script and effective
cinematography are matched by the lead actors’ faultless
performances. This taut and tragic drama will disturb viewers with its
stark chronology of what confronts us daily in an often oppressive urban
milieu, with the final imagery delivering a subtle footnote to our awareness of
the proper place of vaunted justice in our society.”
