Interesting facts

Bambanti is a 2015 Filipino independent film directed by Zig Dulay starring Alessandra de Rossi, Shamaine Buencamino, Micko Laurente and Julio Diaz. The film is named after the Ilocano word for scarecrow.

Production

Zig Dulay attributed the idea for the film from a personal experience. As a competitor in the inaugural Sinag Maynila Film Festival, Dulay, along with other competing directors, received a budget of P2 million from Sinag Maynila founder and CEO Wilson Tieng and Brillante Mendoza. Production of the film coincided with the week-long annual Bambanti Festival in Isabela in January 2015, which was also the setting for the film's conclusion.

The film was also Alessandra de Rossi's first collaboration with Dulay, who eventually cast her in several subsequent films such as Firefly. De Rossi also took a crash course in Ilocano as part of the film's dialogue, having described it as sounding like a "foreign language".
