More on Cosmo Manila King and Queen and Gwyneth Dorado's 'Tulala'
It is very good news indeed that the movie “Kontrabida,” starring Supersar and National Artist Nora Aunor is in competition in a prestigious international film festival.
The production team of “Kontrabida” said they cannot reveal yet as to which festival the film is competing but even so, this bit of news is enough to generate excitement since it had been quite a while since a Nora Aunor film was chosen for a festival.
“Kontrabida,” directed by Adolf Alix Jr. is a one-of-a-kind role for the actress since this the first time she agreed to portray an anti-hero role.
Produced by Joed Serrano, the movie had long been in the can but they are waiting for the right time to release it in cinemas.
That's why it is a very welcome news that “Kontrabida” has been chosen to compete in a major festival.
Among the movies of Ate Guy that competed in festivals abroad were “The Flor Contemplacion Story” (for which she won Best Actress at the Cairo International Film Festival) and “Thy Womb” which was acclaimed both here and abroad.
It's been quite a while since a movie of Ate Guy competed in an international film festival so this news is truly exciting.

“The models who will wear very skimpy swimwear also made a lot of preparation and sacrifices to give it their best shot. That is why I am giving them a better venue, bigger prize and better publicity.”
