The Philippines’ “In My Mother’s Skin,” a World War II-set dark fantasy from writer-director Kenneth Dagatan, will premiere at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in the US in January.
The film will be the lone non-English language entry in the Midnight section of the festival, according to local producer Epic Media.
“In My Mother’s Skin” will make its world premiere on January 20 in Park City’s Egyptian Theatre and January 21 in Salt Lake City’s Broadway Centre Cinema.
A Philippines-Singapore-Taiwan co-production, “In My Mother’s Skin” is described as “a fusion of physical body horror, suffocating tone and psychological trauma.”
Stranded in the Philippines during World War II, a young girl (Felicity Kyle Napuli) “finds that her duty to protect her dying mother is complicated by her misplaced trust in a beguiling, flesh-eating fairy,” portrayed by Jasmine Curtis-Smith.
