Vilma Santos —ARCHIVO 1984

Vilma Santos may hardly comprise her pleasure when she led the ribbon-cutting of Archivo 1984’s exhibit staged in her honor.

“It’s the primary time I get this type of tribute. It offers me goosebumps seeing my previous photos and different memorabilia of my movies,” she gushed.” “It looks like I traveled again in time. I’ve by no means seen a few of the photographs on show.”

Ate Vi chided Marti Magsanoc, my cousin who owns the artwork gallery, if she may “make arbor” even simply one in every of her priceless mementos. In accordance with Marti, all gadgets in his Vilma Santos assortment are on the market. Vilmanians might inquire by means of Archivo 1984’s Fb web page.

Ate Vi notably favored the candid black-and-white blow-up photograph taken whereas she was fixing her belt on the set of “Darna.” The Star for All Seasons was full of childlike surprise as she regarded intently at each photograph, poster, journal cowl, newspaper clipping and vinyl file.

Ate Vi is the sum whole of all these moments and recollections preserved on the “Vilma Night time” exhibit. Even when she will not relive the previous, the exhibit made her recapture the fun of days passed by in her illustrious profession. Viva la vida, Rosa Vilma!

Listed below are quotes from Ate Vi:

After I did “Sister Stella L,” I used to be simply appearing out my position. However once I turned a public servant, it made me notice the relevance of that film concerning the struggles of staff.

“Burlesk Queen” virtually made it to the Cannes Movie Pageant. It didn’t materialize, so it was not meant to be. My dream is that our movies, not essentially mine, can penetrate the Oscars sometime. If the Koreans had been in a position to obtain that, so can we.

My subsequent film has a darkish story. It will likely be directed by Dan Villegas and Antoinette Jadaone. I refuse to really feel pressured if our film will make it to this 12 months’s Metro Manila Movie Pageant (MMFF) and for me to win finest actress once more like I did in final 12 months’s MMFF for “After I Met You in Tokyo.” At my age, I don’t let stress get to me. What issues is we end an excellent movie worthy to be known as a masterpiece.

There are plans that I would painting Mom Lily Monteverde in her biopic. Kim Chiu and Bea Alonzo would possibly play Mom Lily in her youthful years. It’s onerous to mimic Mom, however I’m sport if the undertaking shall be deliberate out effectively. It will likely be my approach of paying homage to the late nice matriarch of our present biz trade to whom I owe rather a lot.

It’s the golden 12 months of MMFF this December. I hope it would surpass the success of final 12 months’s pageant that made a killing on the field workplace. Sana bumalik na ang ardour ng viewers for watching films within the cinema, not simply throughout MMFF season. Let’s not enable streaming to take over. Watching films within the theaters with the entire household is a good bonding time.

“Makahiya at Talahib,” with Rudy Fernandez, is my solely film that I didn’t do the dubbing for. Generally, my films the place I don’t count on to win a finest actress award are those that make me bag a trophy.

I wish to assist restore previous basic movies (not simply mine) any approach I can. Movies that make us proud to be Pinoy. So future generations can watch them. It’s unlucky that a few of my previous movies like “Lipad, Darna, Lipad” should not within the archives. The grasp copy is gone. Too dangerous as a result of, for me, that’s the very best Darna film ever!

‘HyGab’ retains the giddiness going
