Pinoy Independent film Walang Hanggang Paalam (with English title Endless) successfully bags the Best Film Awards in the recently concluded 1st SoHo International Film Festival in New York City last February 2, 2010.

Walang Hanggang Paalam is directed by the tandem of Paolo Villaluna and Ellen Ramos. “Walang Hanggang Paalam” outdone the other 11 films in competition including “A Kiss of Chaos” (USA), “Just Like Joe” (USA), “Non Con Un Bang” (Italy), and 2 other Philippine entries – Gil Portes’ “Pitik Bulag” and Dale Adriatico’s “The Pastor’s Kid”. The movie is the last of a trilogy on hapless relationships. Villaluna and Ramos previously produced “Ilusyon” in 2006, and “Selda” in 2008.

The story of “Walang Hanggang Paalam” revolved on the life of four individuals who, in the route of finding true love, discover their true self and their fate. Villaluna and Ramos are known for their classic style and restrained attack on a movie’s narrative. The movie stars Lovie Poe, Joem Bascon, Jake Roxas and Jackie Woo.

The SoHo International Film Festival was from February 18 to 21. SIFF was created “to celebrate the cutting-edge of digital technology while honoring traditional forms of storytelling,” say founder Jorge Ballos on its official site.
