Two years after she won for her role in “Thy Womb”,
superstar Nora Aunor is once again nominated for Best Performance by an
Actress at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards based in Brisbane, Australia.
This time, the Philippines’ most celebrated thespian was recognized for
her performance in the Cinemalaya crime drama “Hustisya”.
Another Cinemalaya film, “Dagitab”, earned a nod for Best Screenplay for its writer-director, Giancarlo Abrahan.
Aunor is up against Israel’s Ronit Elkabetz (“Gett, The Trial of Viviane Amsalem”), China’s Lu Zhong (“Red Amnesia”), Hong Kong’s Tang Wei (“The Golden Era”) and Iran’s Merila Zareie (“Track 143″).
Abrahan is nominated alongside Sri Lanka’s Prasana Jayakody (“28″),
Russia’s Alexey Fedorchenko, Denis Osokin and Oleg Loyevsky (“Angels of
Revolution”), Iran’s Nima Javidi (“Melbourne”), and Kurdistan’s Shawkat
Amin Korki and Mehmet Aktaş (“Memories on Stone”).
The winners will be announced on December 11 during the conclusion of the Brisbane International Film Festival.
The Asia Pacific Screen Awards (APSA) is a cultural initiative established in 2007 by the Australian government in cooperation with UNESCO to promote the films and filmmakers of the Asia-Pacific region to a global audience.
Winners are chosen by an international jury and films are judged on “cinematic excellence and the way in which they attest to their cultural origins”.
This year’s jury is headed by acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi, director of “A Separation”, the 2012 Academy Award and Golden Globe winner for best foreign language film.
Nominees are automatically inducted into the the APSA Academy, a growing world-class body of Asia-Pacific filmmakers led by its patron, Australian screen legend Jack Thompson.
Aside from Aunor, APSA Academy members include director Brillante Mendoza (who also won for “Thy Womb” in 2012) and writer-director Chris Martinez (who was nominated in 2012 for the screenplay of “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank”).
