Rocking moms and short films at Kolumn



The Feminine Force Group (FFG) presents another rare gig as its post-Mother's Day offering by combining fiery bands and independent short films. Entitled, "Feminine Force: CineMa-Musika (Rocking Mamas & Short Films)", it brings together mother-led bands and young female directors in the forefront at Kolumn bar in Timog on May 20.

Agaw Agimat and Reggae Mistress will lead the pack of underground acts Velvet, Aunt Audrey, and Analog. The women filmmakers are Anna Isabelle Matutina ("Ika-Siyam na Palapag"), Ginalyn Dulla ("Lababo"), Grace Orbon ("Dead Letter"), and Sigrid Andrea Bernardo ("Babae"). The program starts at 9 pm, alternating the showing of short films (10-26 mins.) with the live band music, a first in the Pinoy bar scene.

FFG is a non-profit, six-year organization that produces small events highlighting the talents of women. The "Feminine Force" rock series was conceptualized with today's young women in mind – free-spirited, goal-oriented, and responsible. It's not about hardcore feminism really, it's just a show presented by women and dedicated to women, for-the-women-by-the-women kind of thing. Part of the proceeds of the Saturday gig will go to women's ward of the National Center for Mental Health.
