Salamat sa Alaala

Star - Review 0
Documentary

Overview

The documentary serves as a tribute to National Artist for Cinema Gerardo de Leon in celebration of his Centennial Year. โ€œSalamat sa Alaala.โ€ is inspired by the music composed by the late film director when he was a teenager playing background music for silent movies in Manila theatres. The video opens up with a capsulated history of the birth of the Filipino movies followed by a series of shots of veteran actresses, the academe and the young generation of filmmakers affirming his unique qualities as a world-class film figure. Then we unravel his private life as a family man. The documentary is one way of thanking him for his lasting legacy in the art form he left behind.
