Amid the buzz and the outrage about the now infamous dinner tribute to Imelda Marcos given by the Cultural Center of the Philippines' Chairperson and Board of Trustees came the public announcement that The Kingmaker, the critically acclaimed documentary by Emmy Award winning filmmaker/photographer Lauren Greenfield will have its Philippine premiere in all places, at the Cultural Center of the Philippines itself this January 29, 2020.
The Kingmaker explores the disturbing legacy of the Marcos regime and examines the Marcos family's improbable return to power in the Philippines.
Since its world premiere at the 2019 Venice Film Festival, it has been screened at the 2019 Telluride Film Festival, Toronto, and London Film Festivals and has garnered a Writers Guild Nomination, as well as three Critics Choice Nominations and the Critics Choice honor for the “Most Compelling Living Subject of a Documentary”.
The documentary will have a 3:00 PM matinee and 7:30 PM Gala screening this January 29, 2020 at the CCP's Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater). After the screening, there will be a talk back with the film representative and other guests from different sectors.
The Philippine premiere of The Kingmaker is presented by Cultural Center of the Philippines in cooperation with the De La Salle University-Taft. The screening is part of the CCP Arthouse Cinema program
