The CCP Cine Icons is a year-round film program featuring the outstanding cinematic masterpieces of the country’s newest National Artists for Film and Broadcast Arts: actress Nora Aunor, writer Ricardo “Ricky” Lee, and director Marilou Diaz-Abaya.
The series had its soft launch in February with the screening of Diaz-Abaya’s Brutal, written by Lee at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
The Cine Icons will be officially launched today with a screening of filmmaker Ishmael Bernal’s classic, “Himala,” written by Lee and starring Aunor. A talk with the artists follows the Tanghalang Ignacio Gimenez (TIG) Blackbox Theater screening with an outdoor spillover screening at the CCP parking lot.
Himala is a full-length film that tells the story of an orphan named Elsa having visions of the Virgin Mary and healing people with a variety of ailments.
Admission to this event is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis for the first 75 people for the theater indoor screening. Others will be accommodated at the outdoor screening. Visitors who opt for walk-in registration are advised to be at the venue 15 minutes before the event.
