Lights On “Ria,” Philippines filmmaker Arvin Belarmino’s debut feature about a young woman from the folk-punk scene who takes on a property developer to save her home, has been picked up by international sales company Lights On following its world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival.
The film picked up the Heart of Eurasia Award after bowing in Busan.
In the story, Ria teams up with her foster mother and their fellow punks to resist a merciless developer intent on tearing down their building. It is the last structure left standing in a neighborhood that has already been reduced to rubble.
