  8. Abstract:
  9. This time, F3 (Filipino Film Forum, formerly Philippine Film　Colloquim) will present you “Serbis”. It is a controversial　independent film that revolves around a run-down movie theatre in　Pampanga and the Pineda family that owns, manages and lives in it.　Ironically named Family, the sleazy establishment runs bomba films　which nobody watches because its mostly male and gay clientele is busy　either buying or selling sex. In this multilevel maze that feels like　a surreal purgatory, the family members live out the routines or　conflicts of their lives. The matriarch files a bigamy case against　her husband, but loses when her own son testifies against her in order　to “preserve” the family. The daughter Nayda runs the theatre while　her husband manages a canteen on the first floor. Nayda is secretly in　love with her cousin Ronald who is the theatre projectionist. Another　cousin, Alan, paints the movie billboards and gets into trouble when　he impregnates the ticket checker.
    Serbis competed at the 61st Cannes Film Festival (the third Filipino　film to be admitted in competition) and reaped strong reactions for　and against it. Later, it won the Golden Kinaree Best Film award at　the Bangkok International Film Festival, the Best Director and Best　Actress (Gina Pareno) awards at the Pacific Meredian International　Film Festival and the Best Supporting Actress award (Gina Pareno) at　the Third Hong Kong Asian Film Festival. The film was shown in other　festivals, like those in Toronto, New York, San Francisco, Chicago,　Athens and Singapore. The Hollywood Reporter’s Maggie Lee praised it　as “an engaging domestic drama and stylishly seamy homage to the gay　cinema rendezvous.”
    Prof. Nick Tiongson of the University of the Philippines will share ushis views after the film showing.
    Don’t miss it!

  3. Title: Management of the Indonesian Peat Lands: It needs to be imporved
  4. Speaker: SUPIANDI Sabiham, CSEAS Visiting Research Fellow from Bogor Agricultural University, Indonesia
  5. Abstract:
    In Indonesia, people with their modern technology have recently utilized an extensive amount of peat swamp lands for agriculture and other purposes. Although some agricultural businesses in large scales have brought in a lot of profit to the country, the conversion of land has had a dramatic impact on the environment not only of the local area, but also of regions surrounding the land globally. The changes have resulted in the detrimental development of peat swamp lands and huge destruction of the natural resources particularly the forest. The future development of peat swamp lands accordingly needs to be thoroughly improved, and the utilization of such lands should be based on serious consideration of the site specific and functional region of peat ecosystem, the crops that are suitable with capability of peat swamp lands, and the modern technology that is enriched by local knowledge/technology.
