Bianca Catbagan 成为第三位入选美国电影学会女性导演工作坊的菲律宾人

菲律宾导演 Bianca Catbagan 入选美国电影学会(AFI)2027年度女性导演工作坊(Directing Workshop for Women+),成为该项目50年历史上第三位菲律宾籍学员。她将开发其历史剧作品《Royal Blood》,以女同性恋视角重新诠释何塞·黎刹(José Rizal)笔下的玛丽亚·克拉拉(Maria Clara)。现居洛杉矶的她,追随了曾于2019年成为首位入选该项目的菲律宾导演 Marie Jamora 的脚步。

Bianca Catbagan 于2010年获得菲律宾大学电影学位,并于2018年获得哥伦比亚大学导演与编剧艺术硕士学位。她深受 Marie Jamora 导演的《Ang Nawawala》启发,并表示:“《Ang Nawawala》改变了我对何为有趣故事的看法。”

《Royal Blood》讲述了19世纪80年代末马尼拉两名恋人之间的故事,由 Elena Heuzé 和 Sam Morelos 主演。随着由 Marsha Rosales 饰演的一位黎刹笔下角色的出现,她们的关系变得复杂起来。这是她与 Heuzé 的第三次合作,剧本由她的伴侣 Andrea A. Walter 撰写。这部短片将在加利福尼亚州拍摄,由洛杉矶场景重现旧马尼拉的风貌。

Catbagan 说:“能参加这个项目对我来说是一个重要的里程碑。在洛杉矶打入电影行业非常艰难,尤其是作为一名移民。”

她此前的短片作品包括《Letters to the Future》(2014年)、《Saturno》(2018年)和《Apartment 605》(2023年),这些作品曾在 Queer East 和 LA Asian Pacific 等电影节上放映。她还曾联合执导过长片《Suntok sa Buwan》(2012年)。
