Screening of the film about two friends who are transported to an island populated by creatures from Filipino folklore at the Savoy Cinema.
Forgotten Island is screening at the Savoy Cinema on Friday 29 October. It's a film that starts in a place most of us recognise — two friends, Jo and Raissa, spending their final evening together — before a mysterious portal transports them to Nakali, an enchanting island populated by magical and mythological creatures drawn from Filipino folklore and the stories their families told them throughout their lives. As they navigate this unfamiliar landscape, they encounter figures from legend who shape their unexpected adventure.
It's a story that moves from the familiar to the fantastical, with the folklore of the Philippines providing the backdrop for the whole thing. The creatures and figures the two encounter aren't just random additions; they're the same ones that had been part of the stories told within their families, so the island is built from the very things they'd grown up hearing about.
