Reading Time: < 1 minuteBest Actress. Best Screenplay. Best Director. Best Film. Audience Choice. The movie “Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank” won all these awards at the 7th Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival.
Those who have seen it aren’t surprised. Those who haven’t have been raring to. The screenings at Cinemalaya were packed and, earlier this week, many braved the storm just to watch “Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank” at UP.

Everyone’s beloved Eugene Domingo stars in the movie and does a parody of herself.
In this quick Q&A with Super, Chris and Eugene talk about the film, the feedback and why sometimes, sh*t happens.
