            <text>CineEnkanto returns to Iloilo, celebrating Ilonggo cinema with a fresh slate of short films that delve into folklore, horror, and supernatural themes.&#13;
&#13;
The event, organized by Apassa Projects in partnership with UP Visayas’ Office of Initiatives in Culture and the Arts and the Center for West Visayan Studies, will run on Nov. 8 and 9 at the UPV Cinematheque in Iloilo City.&#13;
&#13;
Eight films by Ilonggo filmmakers will feature unique narratives exploring themes of possession, ritual, and dark magic, bringing eerie and thrilling experiences to the screen. Tickets are priced at PHP 120, available at Thrive Art Gallery in Atria, Iloilo City.&#13;
&#13;
CineEnkanto aims to showcase the rich and often underrepresented world of Ilonggo horror and fantasy. “It’s a way to celebrate our own stories, traditions, and imaginations,” said Raymund Salao, director of Animo and Ang Tinuga sa Espejo. “Our culture is rich with mythical stories that are meant to intrigue and entertain audiences.”&#13;
&#13;
Salao’s Animo follows a boy who gains supernatural powers from a warrior’s spirit, only to face the ironic struggle of sacrificing his own free will. Another work by Salao, Ang Tinuga sa Espejo, centers on a man plagued by an inner entity, blurring the lines between self and supernatural.&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
Other films on the lineup include Hila(U)was by Dennis Hubag, which explores themes of regret and violence through a mother-son relationship that takes a horrific turn. Jayson Amiel Cineta’s Amiel: Modern Surwano introduces viewers to a ritualistic murder investigation, putting a twist on the traditional detective story.&#13;
&#13;
“Ilongo folklore and legends are full of twists and moral undertones,” noted Vincent Montaño, director of Taglugar, which tells the story of a young woman who turns to a healer to escape a malevolent entity. “Films like these bring folklore to life, especially for younger generations who may not know these stories.”&#13;
&#13;
Attendees can expect to see a range of storytelling styles and themes that reflect the region’s diverse culture and mystical heritage.&#13;
