Catch Pinikpikan this Friday at 2nd Friday Film Bar!

Pinikpikan, the country’s highly acclaimed world-fusion band, will grace the Friday Film Bar (FFB) this coming Friday, August 17, 2007 at 6:30 in the evening. Pinikpikan’s music is an explorative mixture of rhythms, instruments and melodies from north to south of the Philippine archipelago fused with Latin American, African and Arab influences. The band’s performance will be witnessed alongside a screening of the 2006 film “In Da Red Korner”, by Dado Lumibao and Bong Ramos. The film’s musical score showcases Pinikpikan’s music.

Pinikpikan supports the FFB project of the University of the Philippines Film Institute (UPFI) as it sees the innovative vision of the event series to be an avenue for better and substantial experience in film viewing through incorporating musical performances and other art forms.

FFB, supported by the New Zealand Embassy and Cordillera Coffee, is held every Friday at the Ishmael Bernal Gallery of UPFI (formerly UP Film Center). The FBB theme in August 17 is Against the Flow which is intended to highlight alternative perspectives in art practice and film creations. Tey Clamor’s award-winning experimental short film “Sakdal Laya” will also be featured.
