A Cinemalaya 2009 Feature Film Finalist
After our successful screenings at the CCP, UP, Chicago Film Fest and the Osian’s Cinefan Festival in New Delhi, “Ang Panggagahasa kay Fe” (“The Rapture of Fe”) will now be shown at select cinemas in the Philippines. So far, we have Robinson’s Galleria and Cinema Cebu.
The screening coincides with our participation in the Cairo International Film Festival as we represent the Philippines in the International Digital Competition. This marks our 3rd film festival after the Chicago International Film Festival and the recently concluded Osian’s Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema in New Delhi.
The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board of the Philippines has approved without cuts the movie and gave us a rating of R18. Unfortunately, the movie poster did not survive the board and so we have to tweak it a little bit.
Please help us spread the word. We only have 1 week of screening time as all the theaters will be removing the smaller films to accommodate the release of “New Moon” next week.

About Rapture
Co-produced with the Women's Crisis Center - Manila, "Ang Panggagahasa kay Fe" is a poetic and allegorical narrative on a woman's will to survive in an oppressive environment. In a society where violence still remains unimaginably real and covertly present and an economy that has become dependent upon the fruits of her labor, the film attempts to redefine "rape" as it comes in different forms for the Filipina. Whether emotionally, socially, psychologically or physically, rape strips away from the woman her dignity and her freedom. Ultimately, it is the woman's ability to make choices that will lead to their survival, if not salvation leading to "The Rapture of Fe."

We just found out today that Rob Place Ermita will NOT be showing Fe because “This is It” was extended.
