Health and Safety

This program will follow Houston Cinema Arts Society's policy, which requires proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative COVID test from within 48 hours for all indoor film screenings. Please visit Houston Cinema Arts Society's website for more details.

HCAS COVID-19 Protocols

Devastated after the impact of Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013, the Filipino coastal city of Tacloban is largely reduced to rubble. Among those left standing in its wake are Miguel (Daniel Padilla), his mother (Charo Santos), and his friend Andrea (Rans Rifol). Food is in short supply. Rescue centers are overflowing with the injured. Everything is thrown into disarray and confusion. The three characters must decide whether to stay home or escape to Manila and leave their pasts behind.

The screening will be preceded by an outdoor reception and followed by a panel discussion with Filipinx Artists of Houston.

Whether the Weather is Fine

Reviews

“With great humour and heartbreak, Whether the Weather is Fine is the kind of film intrepid cinephiles long to discover.” — Chandler Levack, The Globe and Mail

“The film’s message couldn’t have been more timely in the context of the current Philippine landscape...It’s a cinematic experience that transcends beyond its already gorgeous visuals.” — Nicol Latayan, International Cinephile Society
