Lovi Poe -Venice Film Festival 2012- and a special thank to ATYPICALMOVIE

Singer-actress Nora Aunor is looking forward to a ttending the world premiere of her latest movie, “Thy Womb (Sinapupunan),” at the 69th Venice International Film Festival on Thursday.

Brillante Mendoza, who directed the film, told the Inquirer last week: “Nora earlier told me how excited she was. This is her first time to attend th

ed-carpet premiere of a film that’s in competition in one of the world’s top three international film festivals. Apparently, she wasn’t present at the Berlin premiere of [Ishmael Bernal’s] ‘Himala’ in 1983.”
The international festivals in Venice, Berlin and Cannes are considered the top three.
(Aunor recalls that she made it to the premiere of Lino Brocka’s “Bona,” which was exhibited in the Directors’ Fortnight section of Cannes in 1981. Scriptwriter Ricky Lee also says Aunor attended the Moscow fest where “Himala” was screened in 1983, and the Cairo fest in 1996, where she won best actress for Joel Lamangan’s “The

red carpet. Cast Flor Contemplacion Story.”)

Aunor told the Inquirer that she would wear a gown by Filipino designer Nono Palmos, a longtime collaborator, on the Venice

members Lovi Poe and Mercedes Cabral will join Mendoza and Aunor in Venice.
Cabral revealed that she had a complete wardrobe prepared—red-carpet gown by Mitch Desunia; cocktail dresses by Megan Pillos; everyday wear by Anne Garcia; awards night gown by Cebu-based designer Harvey Cenit.
Poe picked clothes from the collections of Ezra for the press con and Cary Santiago for the awards night.
