He got the job done and bagged the much-coveted Volpi Cup Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival!
John Arcilla, the first Southeast Asian to win the top honor at the prestigious film fest, joins #TheFinalWord with @RicoHizon | LIVE bit.ly/3EaXr6t
Arcilla on winning best actor at the 78th Venice Film Festival: My inspiration is actually all the people grew up with and the people I worked with. This is for everybody
Arcilla on winning the award: It is something surreal and absurd… If our expressions can be understood by the world audience, that means we are within the circle of standards that is acceptable for them
Arcilla on winning the award: It is just an affirmation that we are also doing our job within the standards
Arcilla on his preparations for his role: Since I was young, I’ve been watching anchors, following journalists, so it was not hard to look for resources
Arcilla on his statement regarding PH pandemic response: I think people are so afraid and they do not know who to trust and where to go, and then you will hear some billions being bagged by some people whom you are supposed to expect to do something about this situation (1/2)
Arcilla: What is this? I think this is social injustice. Something is unfair. This is life [we are talking about] (2/2)
