PHILIPPINES – Acclaimed Filipino documentary Eraserheads: Combo On The Run has bagged the Best International Feature Documentary Award at the 12th Ierapetra International Documentary and Film Festival in Crete, Greece.
Filmmaker and producer Maria Diane Ventura personally accepted the award during the festival’s awarding ceremony.
"I always feel honored, humbled, and grateful to represent our country in any capacity," Ventura reveals. “As a filmmaker, I’m happy if even one person connects with our work, so it’s incredibly thrilling and inspiring to see our film resonate beyond our shores.”
Ventura also expressed pride in the film’s growing demand overseas. “We set out to tell a story close to our hearts, and somehow it found its way across oceans,” she said. “It’s a privilege to carry our country’s voice and music from the Eraserheads, no less.”
