Fil film ‘Guardia de Honor’ to premiere at Cinemalaya

By Cynthia Montojo

“It’s  reflection of our reality and  call for justice…through  harrowing story of  family shattered by violence, I wanted to shed light on  systemic abuses and  culture of impunity that plague our society,” Director Jay Altarejos’ “Guardia de Honor,” premiered at the prestigious Moscow International Film Festival, will have its Philippine premiere via Cinemalaya this August. 

Altarejos said  movie is more than just  film. 

“This film is  testament to our collective struggles and  unwavering spirit of those who seek truth and honor… I chose to express it in black and white to strip  story down to its raw, emotional core, emphasizing  stark contrasts between justice and injustice, hope and despair… honor to bring this narrative to life and share it with audiences who understand and resonate with its message,” he stressed. 

According to Altarejos, movie is loosely inspired by  police officer who killed his neighbors,  mother and son, in Tarlac four years ago in cold blood.

For the director, his newest film speculates on  question, “what family breeds  killer?”

“It traces  history of police brutality through  main character’s family and how his traumatic childhood has contributed to his actions as  adult, because of the incident, his mother has to face her own tumultuous past and generational abuse to emancipate herself, her daughter, and her granddaughter from decades-old patriarchal abuses, ” he continued.
