Enthusiastic reception for Anita Linda in int’l film festival
- Being Filipino, Film -
TORONTO, Canada –It was a moving sight — Anita Linda, at 83, attending her first ever international film festival, was applauded and cheered enthusiastically by the audience who came to the second screening of “Adela,” her movie directed by Adolfo Alix Jr. (left) and produced by Arleen Cuevas (right), at the ongoing Toronto International Film Festival. A “question and answer” with the audience followed the screening which reflected the crowd’s affection for Anita and her performance as a grandmother marking her 80th birthday. I was told that the first screening of “Adela” was also a success. (Photo by Ruben Nepales).
