00:00Welcome to ETV Bharat.
00:01Welcome to Mumbai.
00:03I was born in Mumbai.
00:04It started the International Film Festival.
00:08When we were here,
00:10the Philippines came to the film.
00:15Ma'am, what would I like to say?
00:17How was your experience in Mumbai?
00:20Hi.
00:22Okay, I'm Christina Simone
00:24from the Philippines and we're
00:26here to represent our film
00:28Agapito. So my
00:30stay in India is so
00:32exciting.
00:34I'm having fun right
00:36now and
00:38I want to go back
00:40to see more
00:42in India and
00:44explore
00:46your country.
00:48Before this, have you ever seen
00:50an Indian movie or anything
00:52that you would like to tell about it?
00:55Yeah.
00:56I've seen some
00:58in the Netflix, but I'm sorry
01:00I forgot the title.
01:01But I think that
01:03Indian films
01:06are very
01:08exciting and also very colorful.
01:10And
01:13I'm
01:14a fan of
01:15horror movies.
01:16Yes.
01:17So I think I've watched a horror film
01:20of Indian film.
01:21So I find it so
01:24exciting and at the same time
01:26I keep on
01:27screaming because
01:29it's very good.
01:32The cinematography
01:34and the effects of it
01:35are very good and
01:36I must say that
01:38I love films from India.
01:41What was your experience?
01:43How are you feeling in Mumbai?
01:47First, Mumbai.
01:50It's so that the
01:51architecture of the
01:53Mumbai is so raw
01:55in terms of
01:57I told to
01:58that Mumbai is so
02:01cinematic, raw
02:04and
02:04it has a character.
02:08And I want to
02:09do a film here
02:11because of the people also.
02:13They are
02:14warmth and kind to us
02:16even if we are tourists.
02:18And by the way, I'm an
02:20actor in the Philippines
02:22and then we represent
02:24Agapito.
02:26And of course,
02:28filmmaking here in Mumbai,
02:30it's so much
02:32we feel the passion of it.
02:34I told to the
02:35to the organizer.
02:39Very much organized
02:41the same time.
02:42We feel the passion
02:44and burning in their hearts.
02:46That's why we go here
02:48to try it, but
02:49they give us more.
02:51They accommodate us
02:53and that's why
02:55I want to come back again.
02:57And in terms of
02:58film of India,
03:01I want also
03:02the animation
03:05the animation
03:05in terms of animation
03:08the Indian
03:08filmmakers.
03:11You can see the
03:15at the same time
03:16you can see the
03:17new technologies,
03:19a lot of symbolism,
03:21a lot of meanings.
03:22That's why I love to watch animation.
03:25Two last questions.
03:27Actually, you are in Mumbai.
03:28You are an actor also.
03:30In Mumbai, we can see
03:31there are many faces.
03:33Have you seen any character
03:34that you would
03:36honored to be a character
03:38of that person?
03:42What character?
03:44In Mumbai specifically?
03:46Any person around the road,
03:48have you seen a character
03:49that you will remember
03:51for your acting purpose?
03:54is
03:55what character
03:56that I see?
03:58Maybe it's
04:00the
04:02being
04:04fierce,
04:05and at the same time
04:06the impact,
04:10the active impact
04:11that the film
04:13or the actor is giving.
04:15so that's
04:16the thing that
04:20gave us
04:21the impression
04:23in the films
04:24that we've watched
04:25and also
04:28being passionate
04:30and being
04:31their love for their craft
04:34and you can see it
04:35in their eyes.
04:36So for me,
04:38the eyes really matters.
04:40so in acting
04:42you can see
04:44the rawness.
04:46They are acting,
04:48but they don't feel
04:50there's a camera
04:51and it's real.
04:53It's natural.
04:54It's real people.
04:55That's why
04:56I love to watch
04:57Indian films.
04:59One last question.
05:01What would you like to say
05:01about the film,
05:02the short film
05:03that you're going to show today?
05:07Agapito?
05:09Agapito.
05:10So basically,
05:11Agapito is
05:13the primary story
05:15is about family,
05:17siblings,
05:19love with
05:22the brother
05:24and the sister,
05:25and also
05:27friends
05:28that turned into a family.
05:31So basically,
05:33Agapito is
05:36it's about
05:37love,
05:37compassion,
05:38and
05:39the word
05:41is
05:41Agapito
05:42and then
05:43it's just a trivia.
05:46Agape
05:46is love.
05:47And
05:48I don't know
05:49if it's in
05:50what language
05:51is that.
05:52So, Agapito
05:53is love
05:54and the entire
05:56cast
05:56felt that
05:58love
05:59with each other
05:59and it was really
06:01shown
06:01in our film,
06:03Agapito.
06:03So,
06:03in addition
06:05with that,
06:06we don't
06:07do that
06:08for a
06:09competition.
06:10We do that
06:11for our
06:12passion,
06:13because we are friends,
06:14all of the crew
06:15and actors,
06:16we are friends.
06:17We're doing this
06:18for our passion
06:18and love.
06:19And then,
06:20it's a bonus point,
06:21we make it
06:23to the top tier
06:24film festival,
06:25which is the Cannes,
06:27Toronto Film Festival,
06:28and also
06:29MIF.
06:31And that's why
06:32we are here,
06:33because of our
06:33heart and passion
06:34of doing film.
06:36All the best
