About
(Lino Brocka, 1980, Philippines, 86 min, in Tagalog with English Subtitles)
New 4k Restoration! Official Selection of Cannes Classics (2024), Il Cinema Ritrovato Festival (2024), Toronto International Film Festival (2024), Directors Fortnight (1981), Metro Manila Film Festival (1980)
Middle class school girl Bona (Nora Aunor) skips class to hang around the sets of bit actor Gardo (Philip Salvador). When her father attempts to beat some sense into her, Bona moves into Gardos shack in the slums, delighted to play houseonly to find herself not the wife, but the maid. Groundbreaking singer, actor, and producer Nora Aunor works with director Lino Brocka to subvert her stardom at the height of her fame.
Brocka, following the success of Manila in the Claws of Light (1975) and Insiang (1976), takes her up on the challenge and sets Aunor against his familiar backdrop Manilas slum, yet steers clear of making poverty the sole focus of the film. Instead, Bona is about blinding adoration and its stranglehold on both the lover and the beloved. Restored from the original camera negatives and available for the first time in more than 40 years, Bona embarks on a new life on in a stunning new 4K restoration!

Accessibility
| |
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at maria@nwfilmforum.org
