B-Side The Collective/ 0922-9989512

7274 Malugay St. Makati

Breaking free from the usual commercial bar concept in the opposite side of the Central Business District, is the recently opened B-Side. This up-and-coming bar is situated at The Collective, an old warehouse renovated to be hub-of-all-sorts center. In such a short span of time, B-Side is slowly earning a reputation among music enthusiasts who have a passion for experimental sounds.

“What sets us apart is the music. We wanted to build a cozy place in Manila where you could chill all night and listen to quality music. We don’t just want the most popular acts to play. We want to give a place for unheard of, experimental, yet quality acts to shine. Also to educate and open people up to different sorts of music,” explains Astrid Reyes, one of the owners of B-Side.

That “bohemian” sort of vibe is translated in the design concept of the place. For example, the spacious living room features dim lights, huge sofas and the works to make guests feel comfy and relaxed while listening to good music. B-Side is currently the favorite hangout place for music lovers, artists, designers, models, and everyone else who are into the underground scene.

Fête de la Musique is now celebrated in more than 120 countries, making this the biggest multi-cultural music festival in the world.

Manila music lovers will be wowed once again when Fête brings together the country's top music groups in one festive day and night. - presented by Alliance Française de Manille, Pulp and the French Embassy in Manila.

The Story of JAM FOODS Angus Beef Tapa
by Michelle Navarro Cu-Unjieng

From being a humble part of Pasta Works' menu, Angus Tapa has gradually made its way through the hearts of its customers. Due to the overwhelming experience the Angus Tapa brought to its clients, owners Chef John and Michelle Cu-unjieng realized that it would be great if customers could take it home and share it with their loved ones as well. Now, Angus Tapa is fresly and deliciously packed with a friendly price everyone can afford and is fast becoming the city's favorite :)

Chef John is currently the Executive Chef for Hexagon Lounge in RCBE, and Recipe Hunder Food Concepts. He is also the Chef Consultant for Las Paellas Cafe, Tia Maria and Cowboy Grill Concepts. 

JAM is a family acronym which stands for Chef John, Alfonso (son), and Myka (daughter) / Michelle (wife).

Cinemalaya 2010

ACTION! CINEMALAYA YEAR 6 BEGINS.

 

The Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival 2010, now on its sixth year,  is a project of the Cinemalaya Foundation, Inc., in partnership with the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) and Econolink Investments, Inc. (EII).  It will be held on  July 9 to 18, 2010.

In the spirit of independent expression, the Cinemalaya Awards seeks to discover, encourage and honor the cinematic works of Filipino filmmakers that boldly articulate and freely interpret the Filipino experience with fresh insight and artistic integrity.

 

The works will be:

• narrative features that articulate the Filipino identity and culture
• in digital video format-to take advantage of this new, more accessible  technology
• open to both filmmakers who have not yet directed a full-length commercial film, and filmmakers who have directed not more than three full-length commercial films.

There will be two main categories

• Short Feature–from 15 to 20 minutes
• Full-Length Feature – from 90 to 120 minutes. 

Ten finalists were selected for the Full-length Feature category while ten finalists were selected for the Short Feature category.  In the Full-length Feature Film category, each of the ten finalists received a P500,000.00 seed grant from Cinemalaya Foundation, Inc. as investment for the production. 

 

Awards are:

• The Best Short Feature Film will receive a grant of P100,000.00 and the Balanghai Trophy.
• The Best Full-length Feature Film will receive a grant of P200,000.00 and the Balanghai Trophy.  Awards for both categories will be given on 18 July 2009 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

A new section, the Open Category, is being introduced this year. This section features Filipino filmmakers who have directed at least three full-length feature films which have been released commercially.  Five finalists were selected to compete in this category.
